I readily installed limesurvey 2.00 on my localhost and started setting up a survey: no problems.
Then I looked at what I thought was a pretty basic and obvious facility, that of authenticating admin users by LDAP. I couldn't believe how fragmentary and unhelpful the information is that I've found.
The Wiki has a page (unchanged since 2011) which directs to a "Cheap and dirty" method, but that wasn't for 2.00, so I'm dubious whether it will even work.
Googling leads me to bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=7679, which says that 2.05 has plugins for authentication, but gives no hint of where to find these, or how to use it.
In about four hours on the IRC Live chat, I have not had a single reply from anybody; the only messages other than people joining or leaving were two other questions, which also went unanswered.
Now I've found a couple of threads on here discussion LDAP authentication, but nothing that says "This is what you do". I've dredged my memory of GIT and I thought I'd managed to get a copy of 2.05, but there's nothing in the Plugins directory but AuditLog, Demo, and index.php
Right now, I'm feeling lost and unsupported, and hoping somebody can just point me at the place where it is documented how to get 2.05 and how to install and use the LDAPAuth plugin.
