Authenticating against Active Directory using php

Post by rpinto »

I have the task of figuring out how to authenticate against active directory using php. I am not sure if this can be done and there does not seem to be much info out there on the web. We have developed an employee intranet in php for a small company who is using active directory. The business would like to have it so once the user logs into there pc, (using active directory) they will not be prompted to log into the intranet again. As of now we have the php code authenticating against their exchange server where they will have to log in twice, once into the machine and again when they go to the intranet. One obsticale that may arise is that if you did it this way would they be able to log on off site? Or would they have to VPN to their current network to log into the employee intranet. I have been programming in php for about a year now so am fairly new. Any suggestion would help me greatly!! Thanks!
