PHP with AD User Groups Question.

[01hanstu]

Hi,

I know very little about binding PHP to AD. At the minute it is setup to Authenticate against AD (Via IIS), then from the that I have the following:

 

Declare's the Logon_Name variable, so that it can be used to 'print' buttons, and links i.e. if ($logon_name==("Administrator")); {echo admin link here'};

 

$logon_name = basename($_SERVER['AUTH_USER']);

 

What I would ideally like to do is be able to find the group the user is a member of, this way we can create custom AD groups like intra_admin and then if they are a member they will be able to see certain links to pages etc.

 

Any ideas, I hope this makes sence

You 'll need to look into ldap. I haven't got any code on me at the moment because I'm at home but I have a pretty simple example at work.

 

Basically, you use the username that you have to search through ldap and find what groups the user belongs too.
