Two cuestions:
1. When I use LDAP authentication and type a valid username with a bad password, ez ask me for a new password. But if I use a '' password (=blank password, =intro), the user ¡¡¡is authenticated¡¡¡
Incredible, but true :-) Anyone knows where can I be wrong or it's a bug?

2. Can I assign different branchs of a LDAP tree to different user roles?

hi,

Answer 1:
Null password will returns true on servers where anonymous access is allowed. You can either disable anonymous access in LDAP server or use next release of 3.2/3.3 stable where this bug will be fixed.

Answer 2:
Not supported currently since all Ldap users will be put in one user group.

Regards,
Wenyue

Thanks Wenyue! I have resolved the second question using a parameter in LDAP to send the user to a concrete user group with a specific role. But first question is more difficult. I'm using ezpublish-3.2-3 and i have the same problem.

Hi,

Sorry, I mean 3.2-4 release or 3.3 beta2, the fix is only available in svn. You can add following line in kernel/classes/datatypes/ezuser/ezldapuser.php

------------------------------------------------
if( !$password )
{
$password = crypt( microtime() );
}
-----------------------------------------------
before
// authenticated user
if ( !@ldap_bind( $ds, $info[0]['dn'], $password ) )
{
return false;
}
