    It might be useful to list here the operators that work:

    = - matches exact value
    =*xxx - matches values ending xxx
    =xxx* - matches values beginning xxx
    =*xxx* - matches values containing xxx
    =* - matches all values (if set - NULLS are not returned)

    >=xxx - matches everthing from xxx to end of directory
    <=xxx - matches everything up to xxx in directory

    ~=xxx - matches similar entries (not all systems)

    Boolean operators for constructing complex search

    &(term1)(term2) - matches term1 AND term2
    | (term1)(term2) - matches term1 OR term2
    !(term1) - matches NOT term1
    &(|(term1)(term2))(!(&(term1)(term2)) - matches XOR term1 term2

    some of the more compelx constructions seem to work with varying degrees of efficiency - sometimes it can be better to filter some of the results with the search and do further filtering in PHP.

    Be careful of special characters when generating filters from user input.

    *, (, ), \ and NUL should be backslash-escaped. See section 4 of RFC 2254 (I found it here:
    http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc2254.html)

    I have been working on a script where I needed to get all the users who were member of a specific MS AD group. Because of PHP bug #42060 ( http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42060 ) I could not get all the users back who were member of the group.
    After googling for a day I found an article and a patch but it required that I downloaded the source code for php 5.1.6 or 5.2.10 run the patch and than recompile the code to fix the problem.
    Problem was
    1) I am not a Linux goeroe so I was not very comfortable doing this....
    2) I am running the script on a production machine with other code using PHP and did not know what the consequence would bee for that code.
    3) I could not update PHP anymore because in newer versions this patch would probably not work any more.

    But yesterday I saw the light and wrote some code to get around this problem, maybe other people can use it that have the same problem.

    <?PHP
    $startFilter     = "(&(memberOf=" .$ADGroup. "))";
    $startResults = ldap_search($ldapconnect, $userBase, $startFilter, $attr);
    $countResult = ldap_count_entries($ldapconnect,$startResults);

    IF(    $countResult == 1000 OR $countResult == 1500)
    {
    // loop trough the number 97-122 (ASCII number for the characters a-z)
    For($a=97;$a<=122;$a++)
    {
    // translate the number to a character
    $character = chr($a);
    // the new search filter withs returns all users with a last name starting with $character
    $filter = "(&(sn=$character*)(memberOf=$ADGroup))";
    $results = ldap_search($ldapconnect, $userBase, $filter, $attr);
    $countResult2 = ldap_count_entries($ldapconnect,$results);

    // See if the search for all users starting with a specific character still hits the search limit
    // if so than do a new search to find all the users where the last name starts with "aa" and
    // than with "ab", "ac" etc. etc
    // In the best case we can now find 675.324 users per group when the search limit is 1000
    // ((26 * 999 for the fist character) * 26 for the second character)
    // and 1.013.324 when the search limit is 1500
    If($countResult2 == 1000 or $countResult2 == 1500)
    {
    For(    $b=97;$b<=122;$b++)
    {
    $character2 = chr($b);
    $filter2 = "(&(sn=$character$character2*)(memberOf=$ADGroup))";
    $results2 = ldap_search($ldapconnect, $userBase, $filter2, $attr);
    $count2 = ldap_count_entries($ldapconnect,$results2);
    $entries2 = ldap_get_entries($ldapconnect,$results2);

    // do your thing
    }
    }
    Else
    {
    $entries = ldap_get_entries($ldapconnect,$results);
    // do your thing
    }
    }
    }
    else
    {
    $entries = ldap_get_entries($ldapconnect,$startResults);

    The internal attributes (like createTimestamp, modifyTimestamp, etc), don't come by default (when the optional parameter attributes is not set). You have to specify it:

    <?
    $r=ldap_search($ds,$base,$filter,array("createTimestamp"));
    ?>

    When searching for BINARY data (such as an Active Directory objectGUID) you need to escape each hexadecimal character with a backslash.

    The following command line run of ldapsearch shows:
    ldapsearch -b "dc=blahblah,dc=com" "(objectGUID=\AE\C3\23\35\F7)"

    In PHP, you need to escape the escape for the backslash:
    ldap_search($ds,"dc=blahblah,dc=com", "(objectGUID=\\AE\\C3\\23\\35\\F7)");

    it seems that all fields must be used in lower case even if they are mixed case in the ldapsearch output.

    example:

    gidNumber: 1010
    homeDirectory: /home/dnt

    must be:

    echo "gid: " . $info[$i]["gidnumber"][0] . "<br>";
    echo "home directory: ". $info[$i]["homedirectory"][0] ."<br>";

    not ( $info[$i]["homeDirectory"][0] ) etc.

    FYI, for those doing LDAP searches on Exchange servers, there seems to be some preference in Exchange to disallow searches that aren't initial searches (i.e. only x* will work, not * or *x). I'd been going nuts trying to figure out why I kept getting errors doing * searches.

    $ldap_host = "192.168.0.50";
    $ldap_port = "389";
    $base_dn = "dc=fr";
    $filter = "(cn=*)";
    $ldap_user ="cn=admin,dc=fr";
    $ldap_pass = "hellodelu";
    $connect = ldap_connect( $ldap_host, $ldap_port);
    ldap_set_option($connect, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);

    $bind = ldap_bind($connect, $ldap_user, $ldap_pass);
    $read = ldap_search($connect, $base_dn, $filter);

    $info = ldap_get_entries($connect, $read);
    echo $info["count"]." entrees retournees<BR><BR>";
    for($ligne = 0; $ligne<$info["count"]; $ligne++)

    In order to perform the searches on Windows 2003 Server Active Directory you have to set the LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS option to 0:

    ldap_set_option($ldap, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, 0);

    Without this, you will get "Operations error" if you try to search the whole AD schema (using root of the domain as a $base_dn).

    As opposed to Windows 2000 Server, where this option was optional and only increased the performance.

    Try to use ldap_list(), if possible. It is much faster. ldap_search searches a scope of LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE, but ldap_list searches a scope of just LDAP_SCOPE_ONELEVEL. This made a big difference on Novell eDirectory 8.6.1, even for a query that only returned 130 objects. Using an attribute list, the 4th function parameter (of either function), also made queries faster.

    If you are searching active directory and are experiencing lag or time outs, it may be that you are being given ldap referrals from the ldap server. The following code will disable this.

    <?
    ldap_set_option($connect, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, 0);

    I ran into the problem, that the attribute I was search for had the matching rule of "exactMatch".

    Example:
    E-Mail Address is stored in mixed case: John.Doe@example.com

    LDAP Search will not retrieve any values when the user enters: john.doe@example.com

    Solution: instead of comparing user input and attribute value by

    <?php
    if($data[$i]['mail'][0] == $username) {
    // this will run into nothing
    }
    ?>

    use strcasecmp instead:

    <?php
    if(strcasecmp($data[$i]['mail'][0], $username) == 0) {
    // works
    }

    Minor clarification on AD LDAP searchs. Small typo in previous example, and does not display multiple values per attribute. Here's the for loop to enumerate all entries, attributes, and values:

    $bind = ldap_bind($connect) // asume anon connect or add user/pass
    or exit(">>Could not bind to $ldap_host<<");
    $read = ldap_search($connect, $base_dn, $filter)
    or exit(">>Unable to search ldap server<<");
    $info = ldap_get_entries($connect, $read);
    echo $info["count"]." entries returned<br>";
    // $i = entries
    // $ii = attributes for entry
    // $iii = values per attribute
    for ($i = 0; $i<$info["count"]; $i++) {
    for ($ii=0; $ii<$info[$i]["count"]; $ii++){
    $data = $info[$i][$ii];
    for ($iii=0; $iii<$info[$i][$data]["count"]; $iii++) {
    echo $data.":&nbsp;&nbsp;".$info[$i][$data][$iii]."<br>";
    }
    }
    echo "<p>"; // separate entries

    While developing a plugin, I had to search users on LDAP server using ldap_search() command and it was not finding them, but ldapsearch command in unix shell (ubuntu) did.

    Problem was few lines above in my code, around ldap_connect(). For server address I input ldap://server.hostname, which turned to be the culprit.

    Once I used only server.hostname, without protocol (ldap://), users where found and shown correctly.

    I just posted on the ldap_bind, but I figured it couldn't hurt here since this was the first place I stopped when trying to figure out my problem. My error pointed to ldap_search, but specifying the ldap_connect port was the fix.

    When you want to search the entire directory for MS AD, you must specify port 3268 in your bind. This is also true for apache auth_ldap.

    $ldapserver = ldap_connect($server,3268);

    Following from my note of 11-Nov-2009 06:56 regarding DN issues when using LDAP instead of the Global Catalog when querying AD, further investigation was showing that although the results were in the packet, I was getting an error instead:

    'Search: Can't contact LDAP server' AKA Error 81.

    Using more detailed analysis:

    ldap_get_option($ds,LDAP_OPT_ERROR_STRING,$error);

    echo $error

    Displayed:

    Referral: ldap://DomainDnsZones.defg.de.bc.ac.uk/ DC=DomainDnsZonesDC=defg,DC=de,DC=abc,DC=ac,DC=uk

    By using trial and error, the error went away and results returned when using:

    When I tried to search with empty base DN on OpenLDAP server which had "" namingContext I got result "no such object". In the log file there was query for dn: dc=example,dc=com (!).
    As a workaround, it seems it's enough to feed it with space (' ') as base DN - ldap_search($ds, ' ', '(...filter...)', ...

    A previous comment noted: "I've also noticed that the departmentNumber, employeeNumber (and maybe others in inetorgperson.schema) are not returned from a search."

    This is incorrect. These attributes are returned, but you must reference them with lowercase names. That is, instead of doing this:

    $entries[0]["departmentNumber"][0]

    Do this:

    $entries[0]["departmentnumber"][0]

    This doesn't seem like "correct" behavior to me, but I don't know enough about LDAP to say for sure.

    PHP 4.3.10

    I was trying to do an ldapsearch without a basedn. First, I tried with ' ', as suggested above, but it gave me invalid dn syntax error.

    ie:
    $sr=ldap_search($ds, ' ', $filter);
    Warning: ldap_search(): Search: Invalid DN syntax in ...

    Then I changed it to
    $sr=ldap_search($ds, "", $filter);

    Which gave me the following error:
    Warning: ldap_search(): Search: No such object in ...

    With that I then modified my ldap.conf file and commented out the BASE field
    #BASE dc=example, dc=com

    Then it worked!

    So it looks like if you supply a blank basedn, then it will use your default basedn in ldap.conf.

    Results from ActiveDirectory may be ordered by objectSid.
    We can get all users for each page size by modify filter.
