Description

bool ldap_bind ( resource link_identifier [, string bind_rdn [, string bind_password]])

Binds to the LDAP directory with specified RDN and password. Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

ldap_bind() does a bind operation on the directory. bind_rdn and bind_password are optional. If not specified, anonymous bind is attempted.

Example 1. Using LDAP Bind


<?php



// using ldap bind

$ldaprdn  = 'uname';     // ldap rdn or dn

$ldappass = 'password';  // associated password



// connect to ldap server

$ldapconn = ldap_connect("ldap.example.com")

    or die("Could not connect to LDAP server.");



if ($ldapconn) {



    // binding to ldap server

    $ldapbind = ldap_bind($ldapconn, $ldaprdn, $ldappass);



    // verify binding

    if ($ldapbind) {

        echo "LDAP bind successful...";

    } else {

        echo "LDAP bind failed...";

    }

        

}



?>

Example 2. Using LDAP Bind Anonymously


<?php



//using ldap bind anonymously



// connect to ldap server

$ldapconn = ldap_connect("ldap.example.com")

    or die("Could not connect to LDAP server.");



if ($ldapconn) {



    // binding anonymously

    $ldapbind = ldap_bind($ldapconn);



    if ($ldapbind) {

        echo "LDAP bind anonymous successful...";

    } else {

        echo "LDAP bind anonymous failed...";

    }

 

}

    

?>
