I would like to know if you get a response for your problem about the encrypted password from ldap.
I have the same problem.

I'm trying to do this with a Novell LDPA server to get at NDS.

I'm starting to think I'm barking up the wrong tree!

Has anyone out there used LDAP to authenticate using PHP??

Would love to hear from any one about this

Best way to authenticate using PHP is to bind() as the user that's sending you the data. Let the LdapBind function determine whether a user has the correct password or not.

Ldap passwords are one way. They aren't afaik decryptable... ie: messge digests etc.

bas64_encode();

The problem with BINDing to the LDAP server is that the one I'm using I'd rather have encrypted passwords when the BIND happens.

The server is set up to accept excrypted passwords I just don't know how to encrypt the string (or even if that is a valid thing to do).

You are talking about two different things here. You encrypt a string (using whatever encryption scheme you want) and send it to the server ONLY when you are changing or adding passwords to an entry.

What you are talking about, I think, is SSL. For this you don't need to encrypt anything. Just make sure that PHP supports SSL, and you bind to a URL that's SSL specific. In this instance there is no "encrypting" to be done by you. It's handled at the ssl layer
