Note Submitter: ---- I have just spent a long time using the following to bind to Active Directory on Win2003 Server: $user = "domainname\username"; $password = "Password"; ldap_bind($conn, $user,"$password"); The bind returned successfully but I could only use it to run ldap_searches as domain admin, e.g. $user = "domainname\admin"; When I used a normal user account the bind still succeeded but the ldap_search returned false. Changing the $user to use double-back-slashes fixed it: $user = "domainname\\user";
