Creating login using Active Directory via LDAP on PHP site
Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2008 8:56 am
Hi.
I am researching how I can have an Intranet running on Apache and have it talk to the LDAP server, so that if "bobby" is browser the site, they login as "bobby" which tallies with their Active Directory[AD] username and password, and lets them in.
From then on, they can only see what I assign to their user, because the browser knows who they are.
Can anyone give me points how to achieve this please?
I'm reading about LDAP right now, and I know the company has it installed, but only the current ASP site uses it, so the code will be completely alien to me (a PHP coder).
Thanks in advance.
