[php] LDAP memberof attribute

[Hightower]

Having a hard time with the memberof attribute of PHP LDAP.

 

Got a little snippet like:

 

foreach ($result[0][memberof] as $group) {
echo $group.'
';
}

 

Obviously that comes after the other LDAP search bumf.

 

This shows the groups for some users (such as me), but not other users. I'm sure I've heard memberof can be a bit tricky so is there any better way to see if a user is in a group?

Okay - figured this out.

 

1) Bind user to LDAP, which tells us whether this username/password is correct

2) For each group we need to check, loop through the group in LDAP and get a list of members for each

3) Loop through the list of members for each group to see if the username matches any in the list.

 

Plenty of code this method but at least it works
