unable to connect to active directory server

[yawnmoth]

I'm trying to connect to an Active Directory server and am having some
difficulties. Here's the code I'm using:

<?php
if (!($ldap = ldap_connect('domain.tld'))
{
exit('unable to connect');
}

ldap_bind($ldap, 'username', 'password');
?>

With that code, I get the following error:

Warning: ldap_bind() [function.ldap-bind]: Unable to bind to server:
Invalid credentials in C:\htdocs\test.php on line 10

The thing is... I can connect just fine using Active Directory
Explorer v1.01 [1] using the same info as above. The only thing I
can figure is that Active Directory Explorer is doing something that
PHP doesn't. Maybe it connects to a different port than PHP does by
default? Maybe it appends something to the username?

Can you run Wireshark on the two sets of transactions
and post the (sanitized) traces?

I actually figured it out - Active Directory Explorer automatically
appends the domain name to the username (eg. us**@domain.tld), whereas
PHP, I guess, doesn't, and instead, requires you manually add it.

I was having the same issues when trying to use the ldap functions in
PHP so I created a class that utilizes ADSI instead of LDAP. You can
grab it here http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/4549.html. I
found that utilizing COM & ADSI made the whole thing alot easier.
