Hi

thanks for the quick reply.

Yes the IP, userid, pass is correct.

The domain string is where i may be having trouble as i am not sure wat to put in there. I have tried multiple domain strings but no success.

Have tried both TLS on/off.

I am fairly certain that the firewall is set ok.

We have other applications using the ldap server successfully, however from different servers.

I have successfully used the following code example to produce a connection and return a result from the LDAP server. maybe this can help you debug the issue?

<?php

// basic sequence with LDAP is connect, bind, search, interpret search

// result, close connection



echo "<h3>LDAP query test 2</h3>";

echo "Connecting ...";

$ds=ldap_connect("192.168.1.73");  // must be a valid LDAP server!

echo "connect result is " . $ds . "";



if ($ds) {

echo "Binding ...";

$r=ldap_bind($ds);    // this is an "anonymous" bind, typically

// read-only access

echo "Bind result is " . $r . "";



echo "Searching for (sn=S*) ...";

// Search surname entry

$sr=ldap_search($ds, "o=Lions", "sn=S*");

echo "Search result is " . $sr . "";



echo "Number of entires returned is " . ldap_count_entries($ds, $sr) . "";



echo "Getting entries ...";

$info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);

echo "Data for " . $info["count"] . " items returned:";



for ($i=0; $i<$info["count"]; $i++) {

echo "dn is: " . $info[$i]["dn"] . "";

echo "first cn entry is: " . $info[$i]["cn"][0] . "";

echo "first email entry is: " . $info[$i]["mail"][0] . "<hr />";

}



echo "Closing connection";

ldap_close($ds);



} else {

echo "<h4>Unable to connect to LDAP server</h4>";

}

?
