Wordpress 3.7.0 : impossible to login since the last update

[Benoit]

Hi,
We have an issue with WordPress 3.7.0: for WordPress sites using LDAP connections, it is impossible to log in since the last update. Reverting to the previous version resolves the issue. I see that LDAP has been removed from this version... How should we proceed?

Thanks for your help

Ben

EDIT : I tested on a Cloudron 8.04 from Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 24.04, and I encounter the same problem during the WordPress update and it's impossible to log in.

Sounds like the ldap plugin disables itself on update and need to login with some kind of local account to re-enable maybe?

[Benoit]

I just tested with a local account, and it works. However, the old LDAP plugin in WordPress was indeed removed in the latest app version and replaced by the Cloudron SSO plugin. There is a bug in the authentication method change. For now, I will stick with the previous version while waiting for a fix.

@Benoit so you don't see a 'Login to Cloudron' button at all in the initial login screen ?

[Benoit]

Hi @girish I missed the cloudron button, it works from button now. once connected from this button you will have to do this each time you connect? the wordpress form only works with local accounts?

@Benoit correct.

I can't even get the normal Wordpress login form to work for local accounts since the update. I have a client site that has around 50+ members, but this seems to be broken for that particular use-case. If I login with a local user (not OIDC), it seems to constantly fail. How do we work around this?

For now, I've reverted from a backup and am about to stage this update for testing purposes. Is there a way around this? basically the use-case is they have a site which has a detailed form that members have to fill out to get access. Once they fill out the form they can login with the credentials. This all worked perfectly until the latest 3.7.0 Cloudron version update for the WordPress Developer app. I love the Cloudron OIDC login method but it should be optional and not the required method for local app accounts. Am I missing something? I have to assume this functionality still exists for this use-case so local users can login, but I can't seem to get it to work on 3.7.0.

Actually I apologize, perhaps my testing was incomplete. I'm not sure what I did wrong but I reverted the live site that had auto-updated, and then I cloned the backup of 3.7.0 with OIDC to a staging domain. I then created a new user in the staging domain as if I was a new member signing up, and then I was able to login in after logging out. I think the issue was with my admin account somehow being unable to login and I haven't quite figured that part out yet. But it seems like it's working fine for local accounts I guess with the new 3.7.0 app version, so that's good news then.
