I have a login page that uses PHP/LDAP for my users to access a company website. Below, I created a statement that stores the user's AD group membership in a variable, to be used later to redirect depending what membership the user has in AD>
Now, I would now like to also add the ability to get the user's full name from Active Directory, and store this for later use. How can I modify my statement below to store the user's full name from Active Directory into another variable? Any ideas??
// verify user and password
if($bind = @ldap_bind($ldap, $user . $ldap_usr_dom, $password)) {
// valid
// check presence in groups
$filter = "(sAMAccountName=" . $user . ")";
$attr = array("memberof");
$result = ldap_search($ldap, $ldap_dn, $filter, $attr) or exit("Unable to search LDAP server");
$entries = ldap_get_entries($ldap, $result);
/* I would like to get and store the user's display name here somehow */
ldap_unbind($ldap);
// check groups
foreach($entries[0]['memberof'] as $grps) {
// is manager, break loop
if (strpos($grps, $ldap_manager_group)) { $access = 2; break; }
// is user
if (strpos($grps, $ldap_user_group)) $access = 1;
}
if ($access != 0) {
// establish session variables
$_SESSION['user'] = $user;
$_SESSION['access'] = $access;
return true;
} else {
// user has no rights
return false;
}
} else {
// invalid name or password
return false;
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions!
EDIT
Here is now my full PHP page with dummy domain stuff, but I'm getting a syntax error and I can the problem 🙁 and help or idea? Thanks Alex for the initial help !
<?php
function authenticate($user, $password) {
// Active Directory server
$ldap_host = "my FQDC DC";
// Active Directory DN
$ldap_dn = "DC=something,DC=something";
// Active Directory user group
$ldap_user_group = "WebUsers";
// Active Directory manager group
$ldap_manager_group = "WebManagers";
// Domain, for purposes of constructing $user
$ldap_usr_dom = "@mycompany.com";
// connect to active directory
$ldap = ldap_connect($ldap_host);
// verify user and password
if($bind = @ldap_bind($ldap, $user . $ldap_usr_dom, $password)) {
// valid
// check presence in groups
$filter = "(sAMAccountName=" . $user . ")";
$attr = array("memberof","givenname");
$result = ldap_search($ldap, $ldap_dn, $filter, $attr) or exit("Unable to search LDAP server");
$entries = ldap_get_entries($ldap, $result);
$givenname = $entries[0]['givenname'];
ldap_unbind($ldap);
// check groups
foreach($entries[0]['memberof'] as $grps) {
// is manager, break loop
if (strpos($grps, $ldap_manager_group)) { $access = 2; break; }
// is user
if (strpos($grps, $ldap_user_group)) $access = 1;
}
if ($access != 0) {
// establish session variables
$_SESSION['user'] = $user;
$_SESSION['access'] = $access;
$_SESSION['givenname'] = $givenname;
return true;
} else {
// user has no rights
return false;
