Re: LDAP user authentication

[Jim H. <ha...@us...>]

The normal way to do this is:
  make sure the login and password are both non-null
  do an anonymous bind to the LDAP server
  do a search for something like uid=$login or cn=$login or whatever attribute
your server uses to store the login identifer
  make sure you got exactly one entry back from the search
  use the dn returned by the search and the supplied password to do an
authenticated bind
  look at the returned code (e.g., $mesg->code).  If it is zero, all the
authentication succeeded
