Test,Test,Test,Test,Test,Test,Test !!!

need to find new theme to support “tagging” or fix the one i have !!

the Info is here, now just need some time

I have just spent several hours trying to setup wordpress MU 1.2.4 with LDAP in to a CORP Active Directory,

MU does what wordpress does best, it just worked
LDAP auth was fantasic,
but everynow and then i was experiancing a 30 secs slow page load

Well before some of you start shouting, what i now know are obvious things,
I eventually noticed, using a cool tool called ieHeaders, that the page load delay was exactly 30 seconds every time, so came to the conclusion this was a timeout rather than a random thing. After some head scratching I remembered that some of the admin pages on wordpress get data from wordpress.org on NEW features etc

Eureeka, give the PHP http client (snoopy) a proxy server to use and everyones a winner !

[update]
This was done with?? wordpress MU 1.2.4 , and LDAP plugin 1.2.0 from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=196841??against a WINDOWS AD / LDAP
The search and user DN need to be in this format OU=aaaa,OU=bbbb,DC=zzzz,DC=yyyy,DC=xxx
where the number number of OU fields and DC fiesl will vary depending on yoiu LDAP config

Following on from Outbreak of wordpress, it must be contagious, two things have developed

1. My humble internal install of wordpress has been gazumped for highlevel internal demos
2. I am now looking at wordpress MU with LDAP, for that enterprise, AD intragrated blogging solution

Mary had a little lamb
it’s fleece at white as snow
and every where that mary went
was a little pool of piss !
