PHP-LDAP->>MS Active Directory Controller
Hi,
as far as we were able to find out, there is >>NO<< way to use the PHP-LDAP API to query
all relevant data of any Microsoft Active Directoy Controller.
To fully access Active Directory, you must go through ADSI -- Microsoft's proprietary Active
Directory Services Interfaces. This is because while you can use LDAP APIs on Windows 2000, they
just won't get you to all the attributes of Active Directory. Conversely, when using Active
Directory APIs, no LDAP operations are used, which means developers are locked into using ADSI.

If you found out how to verify an user against an active directory controller (ADC) using PHPs-LDAP
API, you should at any cost write a HowTo-Guide.
Best Regards to all OpenSourcePeople.
