Hi all,
I've posted this question to comp.lang.php a couple of days ago, but up
till now didn't get a really useful answer. So, here it is:
I' m facing the following problem. I try to retrieve the Common Name
(cn) from an LDAP database, using the commands:
$result = ldap_search($ldap,$basedn, 'mail='.$email, array('dn','cn'));
$entries = ldap_get_entries($ldap, $result);
The weird thing is that $entries[0]['cn'] is empty. I know the search
command succeeded, because $entries[0]['dn'] contains the correct
information. Furthermore, if I issue the following commands:
$result = ldap_search($ldap,$basedn, 'mail='.$email);
$entries = ldap_get_entries($ldap, $result);
var_dump($entries);
I get:
array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1) [0]=> array(24) { ["objectclass"]=>
array(4) { ["count"]=> int(3) [0]=> string(13)
"shadowAccount" [1]=> string(12) "posixAccount" [2]=> string(13)
"inetOrgPerson" } [0]=> string(11) "objectclass" ["gecos"]=>
array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1) [0]=> string(12) "Marcel Loose" }
[1]=> string(5) "gecos" ["uid"]=> array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1)
[0]=> string(5) "loose" } [2]=> string(3) "uid" ["sn"]=> array(2)
{ ["count"]=> int(1) [0]=> string(5) "Loose" } [3]=> string(2)
"sn" ["givenname"]=> array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1) [0]=> string(6)
"Marcel" } [4]=> string(9) "givenname" ["uidnumber"]=> array(2)
{ ["count"]=> int(1) [0]=> string(3) "511" } [5]=> string(9)
"uidnumber" ["mail"]=> array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1) [0]=>
string(15) "lo...@xxxxxxxxx" } [6]=> string(4)
"mail" ["gidnumber"]=> array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1) [0]=>
string(4) "1000" } [7]=> string(9)
"gidnumber" ["shadowlastchange"]=> array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1)
[0]=> string(5) "14127" } [8]=> string(16)
"shadowlastchange" ["homedirectory"]=> array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1)
[0]=> string(11) "/home/loose" } [9]=> string(13)
"homedirectory" ["loginshell"]=> array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1)
[0]=> string(9) "/bin/bash" } [10]=> string(10)
"loginshell" ["count"]=> int(11) ["dn"]=> string(35)
"uid=loose,ou=people,dc=astron,dc=nl" } }
As can be seen, the Common Name (cn), is mysteriously missing. The
information IS present in the LDAP database, though. Here's a snippet
of the output of 'slapcat', for the given user:
dn: uid=loose,ou=people,dc=astron,dc=nl
objectClass: shadowAccount
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
gecos: Marcel Loose
uid: loose
sn: Loose
givenName: Marcel
structuralObjectClass: inetOrgPerson
entryUUID: 2375bf08-e435-102b-8b97-3952138d3cf7
creatorsName: cn=Manager,dc=astron,dc=nl
createTimestamp: 20070821132115Z
uidNumber: 511
mail: lo...@xxxxxxxxx
gidNumber: 1000
shadowLastChange: 14127
cn: Marcel Loose
userPassword:: <########>
homeDirectory: /home/loose
loginShell: /bin/bash
entryCSN: 20100104140045Z#000000#00#000000
modifiersName: cn=Manager,dc=astron,dc=nl
modifyTimestamp: 20100104140045Z
Am I using ldap_search() incorrectly? Or is this a problem with the
PHP-LDAP module? Or is it a caused by a misconfiguration of LDAP?
Best regards,
Marcel Loose.
