Hi,

It seems like LDAP authenticated users cannot use the BlogApi. On my server i can correctly blog as Admin but not with one of the LDAP authenticated users. It just gives a invalid user/password error (maybe caused by the random password written into the database).

Thr routine that logs in (blogapi_validate_user()) calls user_athenticated with the plaintext username/password from the xmlrpc request.

Any idea how to solve this?

In order to authenticate against ldap instead of a drupal database, a ldapauth_authenticate() function should be called instead of user_authenticate().

I did this little modification in the blogapi.module file, replacing line

  $user = ldapauth_authenticate(array('name' => $username, 'pass' => $password));

by

  if (function_exists('ldapauth_authenticate')) {
    $user = ldapauth_authenticate(array('name' => $username, 'pass' => $password));
  } else {
    $user = user_authenticate(array('name' => $username, 'pass' => $password));
  }

which seems to be working...
I'm running drupal-6.11 and ldap_integration version = "6.x-1.x-dev" / datestamp = "1241828033"

This patch worked for me: Drupal 6.14 & LDAP integration 6.x-1.0-beta2

Pity the change has to be made to the blogapi.module and is not something that can be integrated into LDAP Integration module.

With Drupal 6.15 and LDAP Auth 6.x-1.0-beta2 I also had force the permission cache to be rebuilt.

Change:

    if (user_access('administer content with blog api', $user)) {

To:

    if (user_access('administer content with blog api', $user, TRUE)) {
