Description:
------------
It's not possible to search a Windows 2003 active directory using the LDAP interface (Windows 2000 works fine). However, using other tools (like LDAP browers), searching the Windows 2003 directory works. The problems occurs only using the PHP library.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$connect  =  ldap_connect("[i]server.domain.de[/i]");

  if ($connect != FALSE) {

    $res   = ldap_bind($connect, "[i]username[/i]", "[i]password[/i]");

    if ($res == FALSE) {
      echo "Unable to bind to LDAP server<br>";
      exit;
    }

    $attributes = array("sAMAccountName", "dn", "mail");
    $data = ldap_search($connect, "[i]DC=company,DC=de[/i]", "(sAMAccountName=[i]targetaccount[/i])");

    if ($data != FALSE) {
       echo "Reading data...<br>";
       $data  = ldap_get_entries($connect, $data);
    } else {
       echo "Nothing :-(<br>";
    }
      
    ldap_close($connect);
  }

Expected result:
----------------
"Reading data..."

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: ldap_search() [function.ldap-search]: Search: Operations error in /data/htdocs/hd5dev/Test.php on line 57
Nothing :-(

Hi,

This is not a PHP bug imho: the problem is that Windows 2003 -must- have some options set between the ldap_connect and ldap_bind:

$ldap = ldap_connect($ldap_url);
...
ldap_set_option($ldap, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION,3);
ldap_set_option($ldap, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS,0);
...
ldap_bind($ldap, $ldap_user, $ldap_passwd)

Works fine for me with PHP 4.3.x, Solaris 9 (Sparc), ADS W2k3.

Regards, Paul Boven.

PHP 4.3.10 + Apache 2.0.45 + Solaris 2.7 + Openldap 2.1.30

No problems using LDAP this way via a WWW server launched
script but the extra option settings described by Paul
Boven were necessary when using PHP CLI.

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I will try it that way.

Been investigating further using underlying openldap 
library C functions. It seems that ldap_search_s() - 
which means synchronous, i.e. it doesn't return until 
it's got a result - is actually behaving asynchronously
 - i.e. returning immediately and requiring the user 
to do a separate library call to get the results. In C 
you can avoid problems by calling ldap_search() followed 
by a call to ldap_result(), unfortunately PHP doesn't
provide this option.

A Google search for the associated error message
'LdapErr: DSID-0C0905FF' reveals many other software developer forums with the same problem (in Java, 
Python among others).

Hope this is useful to somebody.

Tested with the options mentioned here and works fine. This report can be closed.
