Please forgive the noobie title. I'm new to working on LDAP with PHP. I'm attempting to create a in house solution to user administration of LDAP, namely for adding users. I can authenticate against the database and search the database, however, we store the user's SSN in an encrypted format, which appears to be stored in an octet string form (even though when I browse the data it appears to just be an encrypted ascii string). The issue I'm having is pulling the data out of the LDAP DB with PHP. I can view most of the data, so long as it's not an octet-string, i.e. a password / SSN. UID works, Other defined fields etc work just fine.
Any idea how to pull data defined as an octet string out of the database so that I can compare it to another encrypted value?
Thanks in advance.
Andrew
