Hi, A few days ago I posted the same problem to the php-general list and I had no luck with an answer. Maybe someone on this list has some knowledge with ldap authentication?
I try to authenticate users with LDAP at an Active Directory Server (AD). Everything works fine. Just in some cases, authentication is not possible. Some testing with tcpdumps and the like enabled us to locate the problem in the php function ldap_search. If this function is called like it is shown in the code below, it starts a DNS query to the ldap "context" (example.ch in this case, the second argument to "ldap_search"). And this DNS query seems to break the already working communication with an other AD Server (there are several fallback servers) because it returns a different address than the one which is in use for the already established communication. I'm using php-5.2.5 with apache on a RedHat Linux virtual-machine After looking at the php code, I have the feeling that the source of this problem may well come directly from OpenLDAP. But does somebody know about this "problem"? Thank you for your help!
