I am having trouble getting phpBB to authenticate with our Active Directory

Question

I am pretty sure that the settings that I am using are correct, so all possible things can be wrong which I should check out so that I can make authentication with our Active Directory work.

Answer 1

Try test if PHP can connect to active directory

<?php
$ds = ldap_connect('host.ad.lan', 389);
ldap_set_option($ds, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
ldap_set_option($ds, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, 0);
ldap_bind($ds, '[email protected]', 'xxx');
$sr = ldap_search($ds, 'CN=Cameron Zemek,OU=Users,OU=BRC,DC=ad,DC=lan', '(objectclass=*)', array('cn'));
$entryID = ldap_first_entry($ds, $sr);
$data = ldap_get_attributes($ds, $entryID);
print_r($data);
ldap_close($ds);

What do you have has your $config['ldap_user'] and $config['ldap_uid'] ? You want to set $config['ldap_uid'] to sAMAccountName

Answer 2

@grom... thanks but, yes PHP is working just fine. I have a WordPress and a MediaWiki installation on the same server, and they are both authenticating against the same active directory just fine.
