<p class="EC_MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: blue;">Hello,</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: blue;">Yes management.php, it is LDAP
free.</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: blue;">If you go to your sitedetails
table, you can set the admin_username and admin_password. Assuming these are
set, and it sounds like they are – does it just say they aren’t correct. Mine
works fine – I think Johnathan’s works as well – pretty sure Ron’s works too.</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: blue;">Re MD5 – yep, over sight on my
part – reasoning – we had a lot of people with 0.5 and 0.8 installs where there
was no admin role. When we moved to 0.9 and 1.0 originally we modded the
logindetails table to allow for a user role flag, but this would mean everyone
with an install modding their tables. Which seemed a hassle. So I put the admin
username into the sitedetails table at the last minute instead, and left it.</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: blue;">You’re welcome to MD5 it
yourself though – you’d just need to put an un md5 command into config.php. </span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: blue;">I’ll put it in the list for the
next version.</span></p>

assuming that LDAP is not required for the admin account, and that admin is
