 * I tried both my email and my username, I type it several times but user errors
   aren’t uncommon in my line of work.
    My network admin guy sanitized the strings
   for me so they are free of compromising data. I’ll email you that now. Thanks!

 * You have been very quick to respond. Thank you for your help so far.
 * It took me a bit to figure out what is going on; even though I have my error_log
   set to /var/log/php_errors.log in php.ini it still outputs it in /var/log/httpd/
   ssl_error_log… not sure why but the important thing is I found it.
 * When I try to log in with my user I get this:
 *     ```
       [Mon Nov 28 15:15:07 2016] [error] [client 10.1.8.27] [AuthLDAP] User 'sAMAccountName' logging in, referer: https://www.domain.com/wp-login.php

       [Mon Nov 28 15:15:07 2016] [error] [client 10.1.8.27] [AuthLDAP] connect to LDAP server, referer: https://www.domain.com/wp-login.php
       [Mon Nov 28 15:15:07 2016] [error] [client 10.1.8.27] [AuthLDAP] LDAP authentication failed with exception: bind was not successfull: Invalid credentials, referer: https://www.domain.com/wp-login.php
       ```
   
 * I replaced my website name with “www.domain.com/wp-login.php” since it is an 
   internal domain and they don’t want that public knowledge. Also replaced my user
   with the keyword it is linked to (sAMAccountName).
 * But from this I am not quite certain whether it isn’t connecting due to a bad
   LDAP URI or it is and the username isn’t linking to sAMAccountName. I have smart
   TLS on and I am making sure I go to the https version of the site.
 * Thank you for your help so far!

 * It may have been a blip or something because I am not getting that error anymore,
   it just invalid login. I also tried turning off TLS to see if that works (for
   sure not a permanent solution)
    How does the logging work in your program? Can
   that tell me anything. I am wondering if it did correctly try to handshake it’s
   just somehow mapped to the wrong login.
 * The cert issued from our internal CA. That first article was referring to PHP2
   and 3 and I am still looking through the second to get more ideas. Also, our 
   server guy does see a request from Tux our Active Directory service via tcp port
   389 (ldap port).
 * I open /etc/openldap/ldap.conf and see everything is commented out except TLS_CACERTDIR
   /
   etc/openldap/certs
 * Is openLDAP more for if I want to have my server be an LDAP server? If so I am
   in the wrong place.
 * If it helps any we did get “Active Directory/LDAP Login for Intranet sites” working(
   at least before I upgraded to 5.6) with TLS we just weren’t impressed by some
   of its features. But I know it is able to connect

 * Thank you for getting back to me! We are indeed on 5.3. We are using CENTOS 6
   so a little behind the time. I have looked at the path to upgrade to 7 and I 
   wonder if it is just easier doing a new install.
 * Anyway, I uninstalled PHP 5.3 and put on 5.6 and after some jumbling with some
   settings I got php 5.6 and WordPress working again. But now it just doesn’t take
   my login
 * I now get the error:
 * `Warning: ldap_start_tls(): Unable to start TLS: Connect error in /var/www/html/
   assure-stack/wp-content/plugins/authldap/ldap.php on line 122`
 * I am guessing it just means we have something in our LDAP URI (Posted above?).
   I assume our username is our User-ID Attribute; which we assigned to sAMAccountName
   and my password is my LDAP password.

 * cedcommerce, sadly, it did not solve it, I tried logging in and it brought me
   right to the admin panel.
 * Did I do it correctly? Here is my commit.

 * If it matters this was made with an underscores theme and I have done very little
   to the functions.php and have only modified the header.php and CSS at this point.

 * ggbusta, I would agree, it sounds like something very common, but if cedcommerce’s
   idea works I am just happy I don’t need to change the wp-admin.php file or anything.

   as of a couple weeks ago, did that patch just come out?

   tags in my functions.php. I deleted these lines and it works great now.

 * It doesn’t sound like that is an issue with underscores as much as it is general
   page development. It may help to post a new topic about it. I would guess there
   is something you need to set up in functions.php but at this point it is just
   the blind leading the blind.
 * Hopefully by this weekend I will FINALLY move the site to WordPress and may come
   across a resolution to that issue.

 * jcartland, thanks you for responding!
 * Yes, I got there as well, I looked on the buildwpyourself.com site and his intro
   to theme building was done with underscores. I need to finish his videos, I am
   on 3 now. It seems 1 was just getting underscores downloaded and 2 only touched
   CSS where he took out a ton of pieces, I am using the sass version anyway so 
   that was an easier way to turn off stuff. 3 was very informative so far, just
   a lot of information overload.
 * I need to go through the text tutorials on his site. I have a version of the 
   website I made in regular HTML and just need to move the pieces over I get the
   idea of header footer, and page, but I am a little confused how traffic handling
   works… but most of that is just theme development overall, not specifically underscores.

 * Mlsmith450,
    Thank you for this! I did watch these a few weeks back (at least
   the first two). I got nervous with the CSS one (2nd) because the only thing he
   did was start gutting out the CSS and rearranging… but I am using the SASS version
   so that shouldn’t be an issue. I didn’t notice until after that each video had
   categories. I will take a look through those and see if those are more helpful.
   I am not good at reverse engineering so seeing others complete sites doesn’t 
   help me too much, and that’s a lot of what I have been finding.

 * Thanks for the link iamdawn! Seeing this on lynda was what made me choose underscores,
   but as I went through it I found that 80 percent of it was just how to make his
   particular website, he was talking a lot about the css styling but things like
   making page templates and such he didn’t go into as much. I just found myself
   rushing through a lot of it at 2x speed. I hope to give it another shot soon.
   
   Today I was going through a 5 part underscores tutorial from buildwpyourself.
   com and its not bad. I found a good one on general wordpress template building
   on pluralsight, what was really wonderful about it is it named its chapters after
   each of the files. So if you had a question about footer.php, you could go to
   that. I am hoping to take something from each of this, I just wish the underscores
   site itself gave more information how to utilize it to the fullest. Another question,
   when you build an underscores site, do you clone the repository, or download 
   a custom version from underscores.me?
