Do I use ldap_search to authenticate users in LDAP?
I can successfully search the LDAP and retrieve user's data based on a search criteria like (cn=something). If I use (password=somepass) or (userPassword=somepass) in the search criteria it comes back with no hits. How should this be done? Do I have to encrypt the password somehow? Thank you! |

You probably need to use ldap_compare() to verify the password. Most LDAP servers won't send back the password field contents. Hope that helps! -- Kelly Hallman // Ultrafancy |
