adLDAP is a PHP class that provides LDAP authentication with Active Directory.

This project is really to help others in getting the whole LDAP SSL Active Directory puzzle working natively on Linux.

Given the varied nature of organisations and sites, adLDAP may not be _your_ complete solution, but it should be a very sound starting point. LDAP isn't overly friendly on first glance, and it's a steep learning curve made alot worse when coupled with Microsoft's seemingly unending army of gotcha's.

The information you can retrieve from Active Directory is as useful as you make it. If you don't fill out all their account information there's not really going to be much to query.

adLDAP is open source software and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License.
