Re: PHP and ldap_bind function problem

You may be on to the right track here. Unfortunately, I am using v4 and v5 will not install (but that is a separate problem). In some of the research I've done on this problem, there are apparently 2 types of authentication, strong and simple. I think PHP V4 is incapable of doing strong which might be the default for my LDAP server. The solution may come done to how to tell the LDAP server to accept simple authentication.

I think this is more of an LDAP question then PHP 

Yes, this is more of a question for a forum about PHP's LDAP
facilities.  See http://us2.php.net/support.php for some
possibilities here.

You also don't say what version of PHP you are using. I have a patch for
PHP5.x that allows SASL binds, which of course allows greater security.
I'm not sure what LDAP protocol versions older versions of PHP allow,
either.

You can find my patch at:

You can look at my access example there as well.
