I want to pass username directly to the ldap without user interaction.
I am able to get clients hostname,ip address,but i am unble to get user profilename(username) from intranet in php, help me to get username
function checkingLogin($username, $pass, $domain) {
$dom = "$domain\\"; //Domain Prefix for UNAME which ouputs "domain\"
$user = $dom . $u;
$hostname = 'ldap://abc.com';
$baseDN = 'OU=users, DC=abc, DC=com'; //Narrow down if you have alot of objects as search could take along time
$search = "(samaccountname=$u)"; //Compare with Username
$ldap = ldap_connect($hostname);
if ($ldap) {
$ldapbind = ldap_bind($ldap, $user, $pass);
if ($ldapbind) {
$ldapSearch = ldap_search($ldap, $baseDN, $search);
$entry = ldap_first_entry($ldap, $ldapSearch);
$info = ldap_get_values($ldap, $entry, "displayname");
return $info[0];
}
return false; //Failed Auth
}
return false; //Connection Failed
}
The users browser doesn't provide that information due to security considerations. Otherwise that would mean that the username you use to log into your machine would be sent to every single website. Do you really want that?
Besides that, it would need a very tight integration between the computer and the browser. That could be possible with f.e. Windows and Edge or IE but I'd doubt that that works on Firefox or Chrome.
There are ways though to actually do what you want to do. But they require access to the client-machines and a well-known environment. Then you might be able to setup something like Kerberos to allow logging into your computer and use that token to also authenticate against webservices. But that is not a default setup!

I am using an Online LDAP Test Server here: http://www.forumsys.com/tutorials/integration-how-to/ldap/online-ldap-test-server/ to test some basic LDAP code.
I need to authenticate a user and retrieve some user information.
If I understand the information about the test server correctly I should be able to bind with users that belong to respective groups. With the code 'AS IS' below I can bind to un-commented $dn, but if I use any other $dn to authenticate, the bind fails.
What am I not understanding?
For example, tesla should belong to 'ou=scientists,dc=example,dc=com' but I am unable to authenticate tesla on that DN and subsequently I can't search for related information.
$dn = 'dc=example,dc=com';
// $dn = 'ou=mathematicians,dc=example,dc=com';
// $dn = 'ou=scientists,dc=example,dc=com';
$username = 'tesla';
$password = 'password';
$filter = "(uid=" . $username . ")";
$ldapDN = 'uid=' . $username . ',' . $dn;
$ldapCONN = ldap_connect("ldap.forumsys.com") or die("Could not connect to LDAP server.");
if ($ldapCONN)
{
ldap_set_option($ldapCONN, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
$ldapBIND = #ldap_bind($ldapCONN, $ldapDN, $password);
if ( $ldapBIND )
{
$result = ldap_search($ldapCONN, $dn, $filter) or die ("Error: ".ldap_error($ldapCONN));
$data = ldap_get_entries($ldapCONN, $result);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($data);
echo '</pre>';
}
else
{
echo "LDAP bind failed...";
}
}
When using LDAP, it is important to visualize how the database is organized.
Basically, all users are in the main folder. Use this folder to authenticate your user with, otherwise it will not work.
In this case the main folder where all users are in, is dc=example,dc=com. However, most LDAP servers use a main folder like cn=users,dc=example,dc=com.
Why are they using folders at all then? Well, that is to make it easier to categorize and search with a filter. For example, if you want to only show the names of scientists, you add the group Scientists to your search filter like $filter = "(ou=Scientists)". A filter for both groups would look like this: $filter = "(&(ou=Scientists)(ou=Mathematicians)". Now the server will take a look into this folder/these folders, and display just these members.
Hope this helps, for gaining further insight in how the server is organized, I can recommend installing Apache Directory Studio. It is free to download from their site, helped me a lot!
Without codeigniter i am able to use ldap_connect() but in the codeigniter project i want to use ldap connection for authenticating user with their windows username and password. Below is the code which is working perfect without codeigniter.
/******LDAP CONNECTIVITY STARTS HERE*********/
$ldaprdn = $_POST['uname']; // ldap rdn or dn
$ldappass = $_POST['upass']; // associated password
$ldaprdn = $_POST['uname'].'#domain.com';
$ldapconn = ldap_connect("ip") or die("Could not connect to LDAP server."); //our ip
if ($ldapconn) {
$ldapbind = ldap_bind($ldapconn, $ldaprdn, $ldappass);
// verify binding
if ($ldapbind) {
//echo "<pre>";
//print_r($row_login);
//exit;
$_SESSION['appusername']=$_POST['uname'];
$_SESSION['emp_code']=$row_login['emp_code'];
$_SESSION['emp_id']=$row_login['emp_id'];
$_SESSION['emp_name']=$row_login['emp_name'];
$_SESSION['emp_email']=$row_login['emp_email'];
$_SESSION['emp_dept_id']=$row_login['emp_dept_id'];
$_SESSION['emp_dept_name']=$row_login['dept_name'];
$_SESSION['emp_group']=$row_login['emp_group'];
$_SESSION['emp_category']=$row_login['emp_category'];
$_SESSION['finance_app_authority']=$row_login['finance_approval_status'];
$_SESSION['line_eng_status']=$row_login['line_eng_status'];
$_SESSION['line_name']=$row_login['line_name'];
$_SESSION['dept_name']=$row_login['dept_name'];
if($row_login['emp_mod_status']=='Y'){ //if moderator means
$_SESSION['userType']='MOD';
}
else if($row_login['emp_id']==$row_login['dept_hod_id']){ //if HOD means
$_SESSION['userType']='HOD';
}else{ //if normal user means
$_SESSION['userType']='EMP';
}
echo '<script language="javascript">document.location.href="?p=main&m=it-home"</script>';
exit;
}
else{
echo '<div class="man_style" style="width:50%;padding:10px 10px 10px 250px !important;text-align:center;color:red;">Invalid password.</div>';
}
}
All i want is to authenticate user by windows username and password in codeigniter. Suggest me a very simple way please.
I tried Auth_Ldap library but still i am getting an error
LDAP functionality not present. Either load the module ldap php module or use a php with ldap support compiled in.
I have used Auth_Ldap library file. the following config file
Don't know where to give my host ip address
$config['account_suffix'] = '#abcd.com';
$config['base_dn'] = 'DC=domain,DC=local';
$config['domain_controllers'] = array ("server1.domain.local");
$config['ad_username'] = 'administrator';
$config['ad_password'] = 'password';
$config['real_primarygroup'] = true;
$config['use_ssl'] = false;
$config['use_tls'] = false;
$config['recursive_groups'] = true;
/* End of file adldap.php */
/* Location: ./system/application/config/adldap.php */
Your help is appreciated
I did not find the library you want to use (Auth_Ldap), but I found Auth_Ldap. Your config files differ, however. I downloaded the file and in this config you clearly got the ldap_uri, so that would be where your host ip goes I guess.
$config['ldap_uri'] = array('ldap://ldap.mycompany.com:389/');
// $config ['ldap_uri'] = array('ldaps://ldap.mycompany.com:636/'); <-- connect via SSL
$config['use_tls'] = true; // Encrypted without using SSL
$config['search_base'] = 'dc=mycompany,dc=com';
$config['user_search_base'] = array('ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=com'); // Leave empty to use $config['search_base']
$config['group_search_base'] = array('ou=group,dc=mycompany,dc=com'); // Leave empty to use $config['search_base']
$config['user_object_class'] = 'posixAccount';
$config['group_object_class'] = 'posixGroup';
$config['user_search_filter'] = ''; // Additional search filters to use for user lookups
$config['group_search_filter'] = ''; // Additional search filters to use for group lookups
$config['login_attribute'] = 'uid';
$config['schema_type'] = 'rfc2307'; // Use rfc2307, rfc2307bis, or ad
$config['proxy_user'] = '';
$config['proxy_pass'] = '';
$config['roles'] = array(1 => 'User',
3 => 'Power User',
5 => 'Administrator');
$config['auditlog'] = 'application/logs/audit.log'; // Some place to log attempted logins (separate from message log)
If all else fails and you are comfortable writing your very own library, that might also be an idea.
Update:
I just noticed that the library fails in the _init() function:
private function _init() {
// Verify that the LDAP extension has been loaded/built-in
// No sense continuing if we can't
if (! function_exists('ldap_connect')) {
show_error('LDAP functionality not present. Either load the module ldap php module or use a php with ldap support compiled in.');
log_message('error', 'LDAP functionality not present in php.');
}
I don't actually know why that would fail if the function cleary exists (and works) as you stated previously.
Hello,
Even if the question is more than an year old (and you probably found the answer by now), I will try to give some hints as it might help someone else.
The error you are seeing is because the php_ldap library is not enabled in your php.ini file. So, try to find in the php.ini the line ";extension=php_ldap.dll" and uncomment it by removing the ";" form the beginning.
Note:
If you are using XAMPP (for windows), then after restarting it, PHP will probabbly complain about some dlls missing.
To solve this problem you have to copy the following dll files from your php folder to apache/bin:
libsasl.dll
libeay32.dll
ssleay32.dll (optional; for SSL)
I have serious trouble figuring out which credentials to use to connect to the ad in php.
I can connect successfully using ldp.exe with generic function type and the right domain, user, and password. With any other option set in ldp.exe I can only connect anonymous.
In php I have no chance. I'm not very familiar with ldap, so I am kinda lost here.
Here some php code:
$ldap_host = "ldap://<dc>:389";
$ldap_user = "<username>";
$ldap_pw = "<pw>";
$ldap_domain = "<full domain>";
$connection = ldap_connect($ldap_host) or die("Could not connect to LDAP server.");
//$user = $ldap_user;
$user = $ldap_user."#".$ldap_domain;
//$user = $ldap_user;
//$user = "uid=".$ldap_user;
//$user = $ldap_domain."\\".$ldap_user;
//$user = "User=$ldap_user";
//$user = "cn=".$ldap_user;
//$user = "CN=".$ldap_user.",OU=<someOU>,OU=<someOU>,DC=<DC1>,DC=<DC2>";
ldap_bind($connection, $user, $ldap_pw);
You can see there some combinations I tried. In ldp.exe it is just the $ldap_user in the username field and $ldap_domain in the domain field. Imho atleast the user#domain and domain\user version should work. It is a kerberos domain, if thats important.
Well I don't think there are code errors. But how do I translate the generic function type of ldp.exe into php?
Here the error message to make it easier to find:
Warning: ldap_bind(): Unable to bind to server: Invalid credentials in ...
I would really appreciate some help.
EDIT: In ldp.exe I seem to use the SSPI method. I thought generic picks the method it self so far. Does it have something to do with ldap_sasl_bind() ? The server specifies on connection he is capable of the following:
supportedSASLMechanisms: GSSAPI; GSS-SPNEGO; EXTERNAL; DIGEST-MD5;
While only GSSAPI (SSPI ????) seems to work.
EDIT2: Here some other output of ldp.exe after an successful authentication:
res = ldap_bind_s(ld, NULL, &NtAuthIdentity, 1158); // v.3
{NtAuthIdentity: User='<username>'; Pwd= <unavailable>; domain = '<full domain'.}
Authenticated as dn:'<username>'.
Try specifying the port as well into a variable
$ldapPort = 389;
I would ignore the host part and just try connecting to your server (you have it as domain) Check to see if your ldap bind is working
// Handle login requests
$ds = ldap_connect($ldapServer, $ldapPort);
if (ldap_bind($ds, $user, $password)) {
// Successful auth
$_SESSION['lastactivity'] = time();
$_SESSION['username'] = $user;
$_SESSION['password'] = $password;
return $ds;
} else {
// Auth failed
header("Location: failpage.php?fail=1"); //bad credentials
exit;
}
Also for calling all the attributes, try http://blog.uta.edu/jthardy/2007/08/08/obtaining-user-information-from-ldap-using-php/
I have some code that uses PHP and LDAP to connect to AD:
$host = 'ldap://stack.overflow.com';
$port = 389;
$username = 'stackOverflow';
$password = 'IaMP4ssWord';
$dn = 'CN=Users, DC=STACK, DC=OVERFLOW, DC=COM';
$cond = '(&(objectcategory=user)(displayname=*))';//All users that have a displayname
if($ldap = ldap_connect($host, $port))
{
if(ldap_set_option($ldap, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3))
{
if(ldap_bind($ldap, $username, $password))
{
$attrs = array('displayname', 'mail');
if($rs = ldap_search($ldap, $dn, $cond, $attrs))
{
$results = ldap_get_entries($ldap, $rs);
echo "<pre>";print_r($result);echo "</pre>";//Print the results
}
}
else
{ echo 'Binding failed';}
}
else
{ echo 'Setting options failed';}
}
else
{ echo 'Connection failed'; }
Now this code works just fine. It print out every user that has a displayname in AD.
Problem is for the username/password binding i am using my own user credential to bind to the server.
I would like to know if there is a way to bind using the servers credentials.
I am setup using PHP 5.3 + IIS on windows server 2008 R2 for both the server with IIS and the one that has AD.(two different VM).
I also know that IIS has a AD account named IISStackOverflow but I don't know the password or even if it has a password...
Thanks!
Oh! I tried changing $username to IISStackOverflow and $password to ''
But it gave invalid credential error.
--EDIT--
Do I have to do the binding part at all? (If I am only reading data)
As you run it from server itself, and you just want to read I would try to use :
...
if(ldap_bind($ldap))
...
According to PHP documentation if bind_rdn and bind_password are not specified, an anonymous bind is attempted.
Then if your anonymous logon is refused (this should not be, because running under IIS on the server your code is at least executed as a domain user) you will find there how to enable anonymous LDAP binds to Windows Server. This used to work forme on W2K8, Inever test it on W2K12.
I've been looking at a couple of guides (and the PHP manual) trying to validate AD users on an intranet site I'm about to make. This is the first time I've used ldap_connect, and I haven't had the best of luck.
Could anyone look at my code and see what I'm missing?
Thanks.
<?php
$user = "08jf1";
$password = "pass";
// Active Directory server
$ldap_host = "10.43.48.5";
// Active Directory DN
$ldap_dn = "OU=CSE-W7,OU=Students-W7,DC=server,DC=local";
// Domain, for purposes of constructing $user
$ldap_usr_domain = "#server.local";
// Connect to AD host
$ldapconn = ldap_connect("10.43.48.5");
if ($ldapconn) {
$bind = ldap_bind($ldap_host, $ldap_dn, $user . $ldap_usr_domain, $password);
if ($bind) {
echo "Verified user";
//$_SESSION['username'] = $session_username;
//$_SESSION['password'] = $session_password;
} else {
echo "User does not exist";
}
}
?>
Edit: I can confirm ldap is enabled though phpinfo!
Is that syntax of ldap_bind correct?. Isn't it ldap_bind($ldapconn,$rdn,$password) ?
Binding may need a elevated privilege or authbind wrapper. Refer to authbind for ldap. LDAP AuthBind
