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. Source: http://www.iplanet.com/about_us/straight_talk/straight_talk_5_9_vol1.html 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.
