WPMU Ldap Plugin

I’ve been doing some thinking on how to best implement group support into the plugin.  This would probably be a multi phase approach, to hopefully fulfill all requests.

NOTE: This is currently a work in progress and there is no estimate on when it will be complete

Per Blog Settings

LDAP Group mapping on a per blog, per role basis.  This would all for any given blog to map each individual role to a separate LDAP group.  The goal would be for these groups to automatically check for new users on logon and update accordingly.  The biggest concern here is figuring out a way for the automatic updating to happen without having a huge impact on performance.

Sitewide Settings

Group based control of the following:

• Who can login to the blog (standard user)
• Who can login to the blog with automatic blog creation
• Who can’t login – deny list

Are there any other thoughts on other possible setups or anything else that others would like added?  If so – please leave a comment with your thoughts!

There are a number of changes currently in the svn development trunk.  See the download page.  These changes include:

• Ability for site admins to bulk add users – also configurable for blog admins to bulk add
• Revamped administration pages
• Added simple connection test option
• Added new error check to report unique message back on creation failure if there is an email address conflict
• Remove stale css entries
• LDAP TLS Support
• Ability for site admins to convert ldap users to local users and vice versa

Any testing and feedback would be much appreciated.  I have tested things to the best of my ability – and they appear to work.  If someone would be willing to further test the TLS support that would be great!
