[PHP] NT domain info
Hi NG! Does anyone here know of a way of getting at the user account information from a windows domain controller from a Linux box, specifically in PHP? I was thinking of writing a COM object for the windows box running a simple socket service for updates, but that seems like an awful lot of coding (not to mention having to write COM garbage). Has anyone else here had to tackle a similar problem, or does anyone know enough about Windows and domain accounts to be able to point me in the right direction?

mikey... i'm not a guru... but this sounds like something that someone should have already done (or thought about) in perl. you might find that there's already a perl app/solution that gets you close to what you need, that would allow you to either use the perl solution, or rewrite what it does in php... good luck!! bruce -Original Message- From: Mikey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Jan 19, 2005 4:13 PM To: '[php] PHP General List' php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] NT domain info Hi NG!

Well, I went to CPAN and found: http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-category/22_Microsoft_Windows_Modules/Win32/W in32-AD-User-0.01.readme Looks like that will have what I need, and from what I remember socks are dead simple in Perl - time to read up again!

So, you can use the PHP LDAP functions to retrieve information from it. Looking for it, I've found an example at http://asia.cnet.com/builder/architect/system/0,39009336,39105862,00.htm I think this sample could give you an overview to start playing.
