The ldap driver provides a small subset of ADOdb commands allowing read-only access to an LDAP database.

The following methods are available for use with the LDAP driver:

• execute()
• getAssoc()
• selectDb()
• serverInfo()
• getRowAssoc()
• setConnectionParameter()

Calls to other methods when used with this driver may produce unexpected results or program failure.

You must use the acceptable query terms for AD queries, rather than SQL statements. Any value added to bind parameter field is ignored

$db = newAdoConnection('ldap');
$baseDN   = 'dc=test,dc=loc';
$adServer = '192.168.1.16';
$user     = 'adodb@test.loc';
$password = 'adodb!';
 
$db->connect($adServer,$user,$password,$baseDN);
 
$result = $db->execute('(samaccountname=adodb)');

The Server definition can be set in the form ldap://server-name. You must use this if you want to:

1. Use an alternate connection port ldap:⁄⁄server-name:3389
2. Use ldap over SSL - ldaps:⁄⁄server-name

The following values may be injected into the connection via the use of setConnectionParameter()

From ADOdb 5.22.7, default values set are as follows

These values can be changed with setConnectionParameter()

The following usage method is deprecated in PHP8.2 and will not work with PHP 8.3. Use setConnectionParameter() instead.
