When I enable ldap (active directory) authentication, I can log in just fine via the web interface, but the Thunderbird extension no longer logs in. I looked at the soap api for the Thunderbird Extension (thunderbirdplugin.php) and it looks as though it is hard coded to look at the database when authenticating user's passwords.

I was wondering if someone out there has a fix for the api to make it look up the password in Active Directory. So that I can have LDAP and the plugin.

Apache 2.x
PHP 5.1.6

I have the same problem.

The problem is in this file : soap/thunderbirdplugin.php
The authentification is only using SQL method.

Apply this patch for using only LDAP authentification method (no warrenty ...) :

                if($objuser->load_user($password) && $objuser->is_authenticated())
                {

-                       $result = $adb->query($query);
-                       if($adb->num_rows($result) > 0)
+                       $result = ldapAuthenticate($objuser->column_fields["user_name"], $password);
+                       if($result != NULL)
                        {
                                $return_access = 'TRUES';
                                $log->debug("Logged in sucessfully from thunderbirdplugin");

All seems to works good from now.

Regards.

Thanks, I'll try that.
