I solved my problem....noobish mistake. in the config/enviroment.rb i did

require "active\_ldap"

when in fact I should have done

config.load\_paths += %W(#{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/activeldap-trunk/lib) config.plugin\_paths += %W(#{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/activeldap-trunk/rails/plugin)

to load the plug-in.

Also i didn't use the gem version of this plug-in....
