I’m evaluating Authorizer as an all-in-one replacement to the grab-bag of authentication-related plugins we’re currently using in a large, shared WordPress environment on campus. For us it would replace:
\n– wpDirAuth, locally forked to allow LDAPS on a non-standard port
\n– theme-my-login (potentially, need to evaluate your theme support)
\n– limit-login-attempts-reloaded (though offers fewer options)
\nIt would also add CAS support, something we’ve missed since the old cas-authentication plugin went deprecated, and could make sites completely non-public, which might be nice for classes that use it.<\/p>\n
CAS support works beautifully with our CAS installation (though oddly only in 2.x compatibility mode, even though we’re running CAS 3.5.3). LDAP, however, does not. It appears your plugin attempts to use StartTLS, and there’s no option to use LDAPS, which is all our LDAP server supports. Is that a feature that might be added in a future version?<\/p>\n
I currently get this error:
\nPHP Warning: ldap_start_tls(): Unable to start TLS: Can’t contact LDAP server in <my site path>\/plugins\/authorizer\/authorizer.php on line 1259, referer: <my testing site URL><\/p>\n
Disabling TLS and trying to inject “ldaps:\/\/” into the LDAP hostname just times things out, and just disabling TLS doesn’t work because the server isn’t listening for unencrypted logins.<\/p>\n
If it helps or makes a difference, I’m running this on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (so, HTTPD 2.2.15-56.el6_8.3, PHP 5.3.3-48.el6_8, all required PHP libraries installed and active)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-8832150","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/8832150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/8832150\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8832150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
