If you want keep informed about the progress on ADI you can follow me on Twitter now:

On 23th of March I release version 1.0 which includes a lot of fixes and some new functionality. Among others you can now read any possible attribute from Active Directory and show their values on the user profile page. But there is still much to do. Multisite Support Mulitsite support is the most frequently requested feature and I will [...]

At http://bt.ecw.de/ you’ll find a bug tracker (Mantis) for Active Directory Integration (ADI). You can report bugs anonymously but it’s recommended to create an account. Creating an account is easy, quick and you’ll get feedback by mail on state changes of your reports.

I have committed a new development version 1.0-RC2, which includes a fix for the recursive_groups bug. When a security group is a member of another security and vice versa, adLDAP got stuck in an infinite loop. I fixed this bug in adLDAP.php. I have also added some more debug informations in the Test Tool. You have [...]

AD Integration is in principle compatible to WordPress 3.0. However  there is a little problem with the changes made to wp_insert_user() in wp-includes/registration.php. Now WordPress prevents from creating users with email addresses that are in use by other users already in the database. The current development version contains a workaround, so Automatic User Creation works as before. [...]

I have released Active Directory Integration 0.9.9.6 today. kingkong954 reported a bug with the manual user creation. If the option “Enable local password changes” is unchecked, the passwords fields on user creation are not visible, so no passwords can be entered. Therefore a random has to be set in this case, so WordPress will not [...]

At  jc_513‘s suggestion you can now choose how the display name (users.display_name) is set on user creation or update.You can choose from the following Active Directory attributes: sAMAccountName, displayName, description, SN, CN, givenName and mail. Personally, I think the use of description is complete and utter nonsense but if jc wants to use it…

Today I have finished my work an the WordPress Plugin Active Directory Integration and published it on wordpress.org . The plugin  is based on a work of  Jonathan Marc Bearak and gives you the ability to authenticate and authorize your WordPress users against an Active Diretory. One of the major improvements is security.
