Hi all,
In case you haven't read the other post, I've released a new authentication provider.
* Uses the very good adLDAP library by Scott Barnett - easy setup
* Automatically creates unknown but authenticated users from AD
* Working code, in a zip, so you can easily copy and create your own
! Works and tested on aC 1.1+ only
http://fatty.dk/acadauthprovider.zip
Be sure to read the README and INSTALL files.

Separate post talks about what I needed to install/configure to get this working on a lean debian etch.

Now it looks like it's working like a charm. Thanks!

I've launched this module successfully with activeCollab 1.1.1, but auto-adding new users function is broken in this version. Problem is that User object in activeCollab protects "company_id" field which is attempted to be set by auth provider. I'm not sure how this can be worked around without hacking aC, but maybe aС developers should somehow allow a way of valid users creation (maybe through newly available API?)

Thing with protected fields is that they cannot be set using setAttributes() method. Instead, you need to call setCompanyId() method directly from your code.
This restriction was introduced so people cannot change their companies through API. That operation is not supported.

Updated the AD auth provider. Now for aC 1.1+ only.
* Fixed: Correctly adds new users
* Added: First and last name to new user accounts from AD
(sorry for not being more active here, also in regards to the charts module, but I'm really busy).

Being new to LDAP authentication, I am left wondering how this is supposed to work.
If I already have an account, am authenticated on the network, should I just be logged in automatically?
Does the login screen change when this is enabled (it appears to still ask for email/password, when we use username password)
I have it installed, and if I put a wrong password in the config file, it errors, so I know that it is binding to the LDAP server, but functionality seems to not have changed at all?

Appearance is not changed in any way - only think that changes is how activeCollab handles authentication internally.
