LDAP / Active directory


Question on LDAP with PEAR::Auth and unicode passwords

I've got a user who is having trouble authenticating against our LDAP. The only information that differentiates him from the other multitude of users who have successfully authenticated is that he says his password has unicode characters in it.

There doesn't seem to be much information on the web as to whether this should work, so I'm assuming it should, but somewhere along the way, the password is not getting converted properly.

I'm running TW on a Windows server with xampp for windows, and everything else works well. I'm just stumped as to where the issue might lie and was hoping for guidance.

While the unicode clue is a possibility, it is only that. Can you check the ldap logs for some evidence of what's happening? Maybe the logs indicate a bad password. I would imagine the pear ldap library supports unicode, but that is a guess, too.

Turns out the particular user has issues logging into our own LDAP by itself... sigh. Thanks for the advice.
