Problem with getting the username in Active Dirctory

[mr.web_developer]

Hi all

Good morning

 

I did connect to the Active Dirctroy using PHP

 

  $ldapHost = "ldap://XXX.com";

    $ldapPort = "389";

    $ldapUser ="XXX@XXX.com";

    $ldapPswd ="XXX";

 

    $ldapLink =ldap_connect($ldapHost, $ldapPort)

    or die("Can't establish LDAP connection");

 

 

    ldap_bind($ldapLink,$ldapUser,$ldapPswd)

    or die("Can't bind to server.");

 

it's working well but how can I print the username I mean since I'm connected with Active Dirctory I want any user who enter the webpage it will print his name that stored in Active Dirctory

 

thank you

That is not possible.  You can pull information from AD via ldap but there is no magical association that will occur that tells you a particular user who is browsing a page is even logged in.  There is no intrinsic connection between the OS user and browser instance.

Thank you for your replay

but in the institustion I'm working on some developers did ASP websites and when you enter it, it will show your Active Dirctory name just by using one command so I think it's possible

but with PHP it's diffrent story waiting if somebody know how to do it

If they used an activex control that might be possible.  It is not part of ldap.

thank you for the information

 

so is there any sloution even out of ldap ?

No.  An active directory user is a microsoft operating system specific function that exists at an entirely different network layer and protocol from the WWW.  There's a couple of techniques that *might* work for you in this thread:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/168610/can-you-get-a-windows-ad-username-in-php
