I am at an extreme loss because I am not 100% on what is being talked about. So in hopes of a resolution I am spilling it all here. I have all access that I need in order to make any changes or adjustments that I need to (either to domain controller/AD controller or anything else). I just do not know exactly what I need to do in order to complete the process. I do have Active Directory installed on the domain controller which serves as DC and AD controller. I have a separate machine that is running IIS 7.5 and is acting as my intranet server. I have installed the latest version of PHP with LDAP support. I have searched high and low on a simpler explanation of the LDAP commands used in php as it is new to me (know a little procedural php code). The end result that I am trying to achieve is that users on the local network are automatically logged into the intranet website because their computer is already authenticated with AD for the logon and for users outside of the network that attempt to access the site are queried for their login credentials. I would much rather maintain one user database than two and right now we are actually maintaining about three databases (which becomes a headache). Is there anyone out there that can shed some light on this matter so that I might get better educated on it?
