check username and password vie ldap php

Question

Hi all, I'm trying to connect to my AD server and check if username and password is correct when I'm trying to do that, It always tells me:

Unable to bind to server: Invalid credentials

My code is:

$ldapconn = ldap_connect($adserver,$adport); $ldapbind = @ldap_bind($ldapconn,"$username","$password");

when I tried to set a username with and without domain name in this variations: [email protected] domain\user user

when I trying to bind anonymously, Its ok. Do you have any suggestion here? Thank you very much. regards. Elad.

Check username. It should be a properly formatted RDN/DN. Special characters must be escaped.

It would help if you post the value of $username.
