[Plugin: Simple LDAP Authentication] Error creating user after the first one

    I had this plugin working perfectly on WP 3.0.3 on my Mac OS X client machine. I then installed WP 3.0.4 on a Mac OS X Server, and now I have a very odd situation – LDAP authentication works perfectly for the first user, but when I try to authenticate the next one I get a message saying “Error creating user!”. Not sure if it’s a php, WP or SQL error, but there are no traces of the user in the SQL table afterwards.

    Any tips? Other than the new machine running the server OS, all settings, SQL versions etc. seem identical.

    From what I can tell this is caused when the user being pulled from LDAP doesn’t have an e-mail address defined in its profile.

    You have to define the “default email domain” in the settings. It will add ldapusername@domain.com to the wordpress user account. Whether or not it’s a valid account doesn’t matter too much; it will let you log in with the user’s credentials. And then the user (if they wish) can change their e-mail information inside their WordPress profile.

    Somehow, the plugin lets you get away with this omission with the first user created.
