Microsoft Active Directory not supported?

[flacco]

Hi there,

in your project description you write that Microsoft Active Directory isn't supported by phpLDAPadmin. Why?

I've installed Version 2.3.9 and connected it to an Samba based AD. It seems to work. Are there any known problems?

Hey Stefan, thanks for letting me know.

in your project description you write that Microsoft Active Directory isn't supported by phpLDAPadmin. Why?

I dont know access to an AD environment, and nobody has reported PLA v2 working with AD.

Are there any known problems?

Not that I'm aware of, but if you find any please log a bug report with details so I can take a look.

Based on your comments, I'll update the documentation to indicate the AD is supported - (although I'll be unable to maintain it without access to an environment.)

Could you share some details about the AD environment that you are using.

I am maintainer of invis-Server (server system for small business / https://github.com/invisserver/invisAD-setup). The heart of our project is an samba based Active Directory, which is fully compatible to an MS AD. We've implemented phpLDAPadmin 1.x for a long time an build packages for openSUSE.
We are currently working on a major server upgrade and plan to switch to the latest versions of phpLDAPadmin as part of this process. We'd be happy to share our experiences with this.

It was a bit tricky to connect phpLDAPadmin to AD, here our .env File:

"APP_NAME=Laravel
APP_ENV=production
APP_KEY=base64:jEHvjDDaR3Y/7AEEhgiGOB/FtOF3RxLBXUGWR/Mc+xE=
APP_DEBUG=true

LOG_CHANNEL=daily

CACHE_DRIVER=file
QUEUE_CONNECTION=sync
SESSION_DRIVER=file
SESSION_LIFETIME=120

LDAP_GUIDKEY=objectGUID
LDAP_LOGIN_ATTR=sAMAccountName
LDAP_CONNECTION=starttls
LDAP_HOST=invis.invis-net.lan
LDAP_BASE_DN=DC=invis-net,DC=lan
LDAP_USERNAME="CN=Admin LDAP,CN=Users,DC=invis-net,DC=lan"
LDAP_PASSWORD=super-secret
LDAP_CACHE=false
LDAP_ALERT_ROOTDN=true"

By the way, it's not too difficult to set up a Samba Server as an Active Directory Domain-Controller.

Howdy,

The heart of our project is an samba based Active Directory,

So its not a Microsoft Active Directory Server?

By the way, it's not too difficult to set up a Samba Server as an Active Directory Domain-Controller.

I thougth Samba was a file server, not an LDAP Domain Controller?

Since Version 4.0 in 2012, Samba also provides an Active Directory. Samba AD is not an emulation or something similar to MS AD, it is 100% the same. It's possible to combine Samba with Microsoft AD Domain Controler in one Network. Which means if phpLDAPadmin works with Samba AD it also works with MS AD.

By the way, Active Directory is a combination of LDAP-, DNS- and Kerberos-Server.
