#55 LDAP Authentication against W2K Active Directory (AD)

[Norberto Meijome]

Hi,
This is based off 1.3.4 distribution.

I found that I needed to provide several other bits of
information to ldap to connect and authenticat against
AD properly, given my situation:

1) Windows Domain locked down to not allow anonymous
connections to search the LDAP
2) Given 1), I had to provide username (in LDAP
format)+ password to connect to the server first. This
was not as simple as say 'CN=USERNAME,OU=USERS" as I've
reorganised our AD tree to match our structure.

There are 2 group of changes :
to index.php : added new variables that I found I
needed. Example settings set.

to lib/WikiUser.php : ( Commented out with an if
(false) the ldap implementation in 1.3.4) . Added
slightly some options to LDAP (protocol version,etc),
and using the new variables defined in index.php

Hope it helps. Feel free to get in touch w/me for more
testing in AD.

Haven't tested connecting to AD over SSL yet.

will not be fixed in WikiUser.php (v1.3.4), but the
WikiUserNew.php code tree has this functionality enabled,
based on John Cole's patches.
