 * I have the most recent version of WordPress running with this plugin installed.
   I have entered in all the required info, but it simply won’t work. It doesn’t
   seem to be connecting to AD despite having the right info. The site I have is
   internal only. I’m not sure if I have to make any tweaks to the plugin due to
   this or not.

 * I was able to get this work, but there were a couple issues.
 * 1. You need to modify the ad-auth.php file where it displays the values of the
   settings on the admin page. Do a search for
 *     ```
       <? echo
   
       and replace them with
       ```
   
 * <?php echo
 * 2. You must specify all options (well, except for Role Equivalent Groups), including
   the account suffix (e.g. `@yourcompany.local`). The base DN will be `dc=yourcompany,
   dc=local` for that domain.
 * Once I did those things, it worked like a charm. Hopefully this will help you
   get it working.

 * What I’d like to know is where the log-in page appears? Should we be trying to
   login via wp-admin?
 * I’ve got a 2.9 WP installation. Somewhere between 2.7 and 2.9, WP did away with
   the private blog option…
 * Thanks in advance!
