ldap authentification

[berrance]

hi, does anybody know of any good tutorials on creating user authentification with ldap rather then mysql. the reason for this is because i want to use my existing user data base for multiple reasons.

thanks for any help or pointers

I think you need to use cURL or sockets to open a connection to the ldap server and send commands to it - I don't think there are ldap functions for PHP.

But if you want, remember that Google is your friend...

LDAP interactions from PHP are really fairly simple. It is also quite trivial to configure apache to use LDAP for authentication. The only difficult part I have found is setting up the schema properly the first time. --that and the RPL queries.
