Description:
------------
ldap_sasl_bind() sends bind DN as sasl authz id.

This is wrong ;)



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
        $host = "ldap://ldap.example.org";
        $dn = "uid=bfg,ou=users,ou=unix,ou=production,dc=noviforum,dc=si";
        $pw = "test";
        $realm = "PROD.EXAMPLE.ORG";
        $mech = "PLAIN";
        $authz_id = "bfg";
        $props = null;

        $r = ldap_connect($host);

        if (! $r) {
                echo "Unable to connect: \n";
                exit(1);
        }

        ldap_set_option($r, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
        echo "Connected, trying to bind...\n";

        $b = ldap_sasl_bind($r, $dn, $pw, $mech, $realm, $authz_id, $props);
        echo "LDAP bind: " . (($b) ? "OK" : "FAILED") . "\n";

?>


Expected result:
----------------
OK

... i've written php patch which i've sent to jani.

Actual result:

Exactly how did you call ldapsearch program to get those results..?

 [2005-12-12 09:40 UTC] bfg at frost dot ath dot cx
$ ldapsearch -h hostname.example.org -D "uid=bfg,ou=users,ou=unix,ou=production,dc=noviforum,dc=si" -Y PLAIN -I

Entered SASL auth username: "bfg"

The same result with:
USER="bfg" ldapsearch -h hostname.example.org -D "uid=bfg,ou=users,ou=unix,ou=production,dc=noviforum,dc=si" -Y PLAIN

:)

The authzid is passed with -X option, thus you're not doing the same as you're doing with the script.

 [2005-12-12 23:33 UTC] sniper@php.net
Also, FYI:

  -X authzid SASL authorization identity ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")

(that's from ldapsearch -h output)

And this is a good read too:
http://www.openldap.org/devel/admin/guide.html#Using%20SASL

It explains what you are doing wrong.

... well, the fact is, that i haven't found any way to authenticate against my ldap directory without that patch...

Well, when i specify -I option when running ldapsearch i can specify authz_id from interactive prompt.

The fact is, that when i specify authz_id as an function argument when calling ldap_sasl_bind(), it is *not* passed to SASL as authz_id, but bind dn is passed as authz_id instead...

I believe that this is wrong.

Well, if i'm doing something wrong somewhere, please let me know. I've read those openldap documents before i decided to patch php interpreter. But i still cannot understand why it is wrong to expect that sasl will use $authz_id as sasl authzd_id and not ldap bind dn if i explicitly specify $authz_id...


Best regards, Brane

We both confused authc_id with authz_id, this is now implemented in CVS.
It will be available in PHP >= 5.2.4.
