[snip] Aha! It may not be me. The LDAP server is Win2003 and has some known problems when searching LDAP.

[/snip] Well, I thought that I had escaped the hell of a Windows world when I accepted this position, and now it is just not true. We have all of our users authenticating through AD on a W2003Server, so I thought I'd use LDAP for web authentication as well. It doesn't work. For some cockamaimee reason there are problems using PHP/LDAP with W2003Server. To be sure, I found plenty of evidence that all was well prior to W2003Server, there are many posts web wide about how well it was working with W2KServer, etc. Does anyone know how I can fix this without having our Windows folks do something to the server which will undoubtedly hose things up?

I vaguely recall you couldn't do an anonymous bind to an active directory system - you had to properly authenticate before you could do a search. You didn't include the bind stuff so I can't tell if that's the problem :) -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
