note 120020 added to ref.ldap

For those of you that are having trouble when user's password has special characters, make sure you decode the string to an appropiate codification. For instance, I had an issue where some users could not logging properly into our web app. Example of a simple connection: <?php $ldap_ip = 'LDAP-SERVER-IP'; $ldap = ldap_connect($ldap_ip); $user = 'Test'; $password = 'otoño'; //This password is correct but binding it with this format will give us an error $password = utf8_decode($password); //$password = otoxF1o $ldap_bind = ldap_bind($ldap, $user, $password); //Now the binding is successfull and $ldap_bind = true ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 85.158.138.21 (proxied: 195.81.50.240) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/ref.ldap.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/120020 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120020/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120020/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120020/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120020/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120020/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120020/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120020 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/120020 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
