Summary: New users automatically added as contributor to main blog

Initial Comment:
Hi:

I'm unsure if this is related to the WPMU LDAP plugin I use (3.1.1), but it seems like a possibility.  I just upgraded my WPMU install to 3.2.1 Multisite.  I have the LDAP plugin set to auto-create accounts and blogs upon successful LDAP login - which it does without problem.  However, in my case, new users are also being added as "Contributor" to the main blog (in my case blog id 1).  This is unexpected as it was not the case before when I was using WPMU 2.9.

Can you let me know if this is related to this plugin or is simply expected behaviour in WP 3.2.  Any advice on how to prevent the user being added to the main blog would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for that crig.  Not sure what's going on with development for
wpmu-ldap.  Fantastic plug-in - for us anyway.  Hopefully a developer can
chime in soon.

I've been bitten by this too.  This is especially annoying since the new
user sees the main blog's empty dashboard as the first entry in "My sites"
and will get confused.

To disable it until a proper fix is found, instead of commenting the
function definition, I've commented the function call at user creation
time, i.e. /lib/wpmu_ldap.functions.php  line 88:
  //wpmuUpdateBlogAccess($user_id);

Sorry to keep adding comments, but..

I commented out the code below and logged in with my test user for the
first time.  It went to a white screen - ie. didn't redirect to their
dashboard.  So, I just edited the url to go to wp-admin for that users
blog, and it successfully went to the Dashboard, and most importantly, they
were not added to main site as a Contributor (this is a side mystery to me
- why they were ever added as Contributor).

So, I presume I just need to make a modification to the code I posted
instead of commenting the entire thing out, in order to prevent the white
screen.  Just need help for that.

Thanks!

i found this in wpmu_ldap.functions.php:

/**
* Checks to make sure the user is added to the dashboard blog (if set) or
else blog #1
*/
function wpmuUpdateBlogAccess($userid) {
        // reset primary blog to #1 (or dashboard) and add subscriber
role
        if ($dashboard = get_site_option( 'dashboard_blog' )) {
                add_user_to_blog( $dashboard, $userid, get_site_option(
'default_user_role', 'subscriber' ) );
                update_usermeta($userid, "primary_blog", $dashboard);
        } else {
                add_user_to_blog( '1', $userid, get_site_option(
'default_user_role', 'subscriber' ) );
                update_usermeta($userid, "primary_blog", 1);
        }
}


However, I'm afraid my PHP skills are not good enough to know if this code
is causing this behavior.  It seems possible.

Thanks.
