Thanks, Rasmus, for your reply. I at least have a clearer idea of what I don't know now, and for that I do truly thank you. I guess I'll have to install the OpenLDAP client code and hope it doesn't conflict with the IBM LDAP client stuff that's already there.
I also got a direct personal response from someone with substantive LDAP-PHP linkage and interoperability experience. I have asked him to post this information.

Yes, I *DID* read it and no, it doesn't answer this question. The most it says is: ================== More Information Lots of information about LDAP can be found at * Netscape * University of Michigan * OpenLDAP Project * LDAP World ================== Which is generic information about LDAP, not what works with PHP. As I said in my note, most of this web page is programming implementation stuff, NOT installation info. My criticism is meant to be constructive: if PHP wants to be a business class, production-grade application, it needs to be accessible and usable in the most straightforward way possible.
