ldap_bind

ldap_bind -- Bind to LDAP directory

Description

int ldap_bind(int link_identifier, string [bind_rdn], string [bind_password]);

Binds to the LDAP directory with specified RDN and password. Returns true on success and false on error.

ldap_bind() does a bind operation on the directory. bind_rdn and bind_password are optional. If not specified, anonymous bind is attempted.

 Warning: "reference binds" with null passwords will return success. Make sure the password is non-null before trusting it for authentication. :-) This is the way the API is supposed to work. It's not a PHP bug.

 To get around the null password returns true on servers where anonymous access is allowed, try... // get a connection $ldap=ldap_connect($ldapServer); // check to see if we got one, if we did, proceed if($ldap) { if(!$passWord) { // generate a bogus password to pass if the user doesn't give us one // this gets around systems that are anonymous search enabled $passWord = crypt(microtime()); } then do your ldap_bind to test authentication....
