Rebuilding PHP with LDAP support

[davil]

anyone have any ideas about rebuilding PHP with LDAP support.

 

I've just very quickly glanced at the following site about integrating active directory and PHP:

 

http://www.developer.com/lang/php/article.php/3100951

 

and I would like to give it a go but am unsure how to rebuild PHP. just a quick basic tutorial will do fine. Is it as simple as running the exe with the correct parameters? if so I am sorted.

I think all you need to do is load the extension if there is. I will look into it. <_>

[davil]

Thanks ola

I just checked the PHP manual on

http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php

 

and found you are correct.

 

I will see how I get on and if there are any further problems I will post them up here.

just found out that I need to download the correct Dll version because I have two PHP folders unfortunately and the php_ldap.dll from my non - uniformserver doesn't work so I'll have to download the correct one I presume but this is no big deal.

[davil]

OK I cannot get the proper php_ldap.dll

I can get the one for PHP version 5.1.2 from PHP website but not for 5.1.1 (in version 3.3 of uniformserver) does anyone have a copy of PHP 5.1.1 that I could download? PLEASE PLEASE this would help my work so much.....

Here are the old versions: http://www.php.net/releases.php

Thanks again for all your help. I'll keep you guys posted on my results.

[olajideolaolorun]

Ok.

ok I'm getting further in my project but still stumped by this LDAP . now I'm a bit of a n00b in this area so bear with me.

 

Now, I have the way my Domain is setup below:

 

For obvious reasons, I've renamed the domain and removed some of the containers or whatever they're called. Anyway, here's my code

 

<?php

   $dn = "OU=Users,DN=blah,DN=yah,DN=yakety,DN=ie";

   $attributes = array("displayname", "l");

   $filter = "(cn=*)";

   $ad = ldap_connect("ldap://mydomaincontroller")
            or die("Couldn't connect to AD!");
 
   ldap_set_option($ad, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);

   $bd = ldap_bind($ad,"myusername@blah.yah.yakety.ie","mypassword")
         or die("Couldn't bind to AD!");

   $result = ldap_search($ad, $dn, $filter, $attributes);

   $entries = ldap_get_entries($ad, $result);

   for ($i=0; $i<$entries["count"]; $i++)
   {
       echo $entries[$i]["displayname"]
            [0]."(".$entries[$i]["l"][0].")<br />";
   }
   ldap_unbind($ad);
?>

 

and all I get is:

Warning: ldap_search() [function.ldap-search]: Search: Operations error in W:\www\ad3.php on line 17

 

Warning: ldap_get_entries(): supplied argument is not a valid ldap result resource in W:\www\ad3.php on line 19

 

Can anybody please help me? I just need a basic example to show me how to interface with my AD - I'm nearly there I can almost taste it!

 

I've also tried

$dn = "OU=Users,DN=blah,DN=yah,DN=yakety,DN=ie";

$dn = "cn=Users,DN=blah,DN=yah,DN=yakety,DN=ie";

$dn = "DN=blah,DN=yah,DN=yakety,DN=ie";

$dn = "OU=Users,DC=blah,DC=yah,DC=yakety,DC=ie";

 

and none of these seem to work!!! What am I doing wrong? I'm sure that it's connecting to the server because when I tried with the wrong password it said incorrect credentials or something. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

 

P.S. I know this is no longer a uniform server issue but I just hope somebody here can help me...

nope. what's the server address?

[olajideolaolorun]

Address: irc.freenode.net

Channel: ##php

 

They could probably help you further cause i really never used LDAP before.

[davil]

It's strange, I never really use IRC (even though I'm a computer technician and live on my PC) - I must give it a go. Thanks

[olajideolaolorun]

No problem.
