My ldap enabled enterprise bloging platform at “the firm” is picking up momentum, lets hope it scales properly, it has been built on the same 3Tera grid technology as wordpress.com But only time will tell
Only one little snag, guess who has to do a blogging with wordpress demo at the Xmas meeting

Here starteth my new project,
A New blog dedicated to my warped view of technology , it’s use and abuse, news, discoveries etc etc and within my limited command of my mother tongue, the english language, it should present a professional picture of my life and the technology that infects it.
Some technology related blogs have been imported from my “personal” Blog , Hence apparent 2 years of history
This new project is stood up on wordpress MU (multi user) 1.3 which gives me the ability to offer blog microsites to like minded individuals. Wordpress MU 1.3 is based on the Wordpress 2.3.1 core, including native support of Tags and Tag Clouds, providing yoiu have a supporting themes, (so i guess i need to fix this theme to get the tags worksing correctly)

September 14th, 2007Wordpress MU in a Corporate environment
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
