Change Log for MyBB LDAP Authentication

Version 0.0.8 stable Build #6

Bugfix in build 0.0.8:


Version 0.0.7 dev Build #5

New features in build 0.0.7:

  • support for LDAPS encryption (SSL)
  • support for a proxy user to allow DN resolving
If you upgrade from 0.0.6 or earlier, deactivate and uninstall first to be able to see the updated settings.

Version 0.0.6 dev Build #4

Many fixes in build 0.0.6:

  • rewrite of LDAP functions to be cleaner and more modular
  • cropping of unneeded code clutter
  • the email address is now correctly provisioned from LDAP upon user creation (once)
  • it is now possible to set the port the LDAP server is listening on (see settings)
  • it is now possible to scope users based on an attribute value like groupMembership (see settings)

A major limitation in this release is the LDAP user scope; if you are not using AD with UPN binds, then users are limited to a single OU. This will be addressed ASAP.

If you upgrade from 0.0.5 or earlier, deactivate and uninstall first to be able to see the new settings.
