  When using active directory authentication, users cannot change their active directory profile options, such as name, email, and password. Result is error 500. Apache error logs report the following:
  
  PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function user_modify() on a non-object in /var/www/html/tools/doku/inc/auth/ad.class.php on line 291, referer: https://OMITTED/doku/doku.php/start?do=profile
  
  Line 291 of this file is the following:
  $return = $return & $this->adldap->user_modify($user,$adchanges);
  
  Upon further inspection, it appears the connection to the AD server is not being initialized as $this->adldap is null.
  
  A workaround and possible fix is adding this line of code the modifyUser method at line 264:
  if(!$this->_init()) return false;
  
  This will initialize the connection to the server allowing updates to the user profile.

  This appears to still be an issue in 2012-09-10 "Adora Belle RC1"
  
  The modifyUser method of inc/auth/ad.class.php still does not initialize the the adLDAP library with the _init method.

  Again, this is still an issue in 2012-10-13 "Adora Belle". This modifyUser method still does not initialize the class with $this->_init().
