active directory integration

Since EE v1.4.2 there is a hook called login_authenticate_start in the authenticate() function in cp.login.php.

I’ve used that hook a while back to handle this scenario in a small Extension: 1. authenticate username and password in AD LDAP. 2. if successful and username doesn’t exist in EE - add the member - otherwise skip to #3 3. login to EE

..of course, there are about a zillion other possible needs, but this is all I’ve had to produce.

edit: I vaguely remember having to hack something, but I can’t remember what is was, or if it was vital or just extra fluff

That’s all I needed to know. Thanks!

If you could provide us with some code, we would be grateful.

Hi ExpressionEngineer,

It seems that there’s a lot of interest on the forums looking for any kind of LDAP extension.

Would you be interested in selling a version of your extension for EE 1.6.3? If so, I know I’d buy today. I realize it won’t/can’t meet everyone’s specific LDAP requirements, but it sounds like a great start.

Thanks for your time,

b
