Re: php ldap binding problems

[Nick Milas <nick@eurobjects.com>]

Hi,

This is how I connect to LDAP and never had problems (my programming is 
not professional, but anyway):

$ldap_server = "ldap://ldap.example.com";;
$ldap_binddn   = "uid=".$_POST['u'].",ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" ;
$ldap_pass   = $_POST['p'];

$ldaphandle=ldap_connect($ldap_server);

            if ($ldaphandle==FALSE) {
                  $message="Could not connect to server";
            }

            if (ldap_set_option($ldaphandle, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 
3)==FALSE){
              $message="Could not set correct protocol version";
            }

            if (ldap_bind($ldaphandle, $ldap_binddn, $ldap_pass)==FALSE){
                $message="Login error";
            }

It always worked without problems. Note, however, that I always connect 
to localhost, so I have no experience with remote connections.

It is important to force protocol version 3.
