LDAP attributes missing...

[superboss]

I have this script that I use to query an LDAP server but for some odd reason it simply refuses to return two attributes!

• Assistant phonenumber (ldapname = telephone-Assistant)

• Home 2 phonenumber (ldapname = Telephone-Home2)

I know that the names are casesensitive and I also know that the attributes are actually set. I can verify this through Outlooks addressbook and on the exchange 5.5 server.

Using ldap_get_attributes returns all attributes but the above two (might miss some other that I have not yet spotted). I have used Google till my fingers bled and I have run out of options, someone please help!!

Hi there,

just wondering if you managed to solve your PHP ldap problem.

if so could you let me know how you did it?

Thanks

I'm having exactly the same problem. Get any answers.

Here is the problem. Each of the LDAP variables has what is called a heuristic value assigned. Most variables have a heuristic value of 18 which means Anonymous users can access them. The two variables you mention have a value of 20 - meaning they cannot be read by anonymous users.

The solution is to change your call to collect the information as a non anonymous user.

My code looks something like this 😃im objnamespace
Set objnamespace = GetObject("LDAP:")
Set objIADs = objnamespace.opendsobject(bstrMailboxPath,<user>,<password>,1)

Hope this steers you in the right direction.
