[KLUG Members] LDAP & PHP

[Jeremy Leonard]

FYI

I looked at all the attr's returned.
It looks like:
samaccountname
returns the info I'm looking for.

It's odd is this another case of M$ "embracing and extending" a standard or
did Novell meander.

In eDir cn="the user's account name" example "JeremyL"
in AD cn="The users full name" example "Jeremy F. Leonard"

Which one is correct for open ldap or does that do something completely
different?

I'm new to the ldap side of things. I've been using Novell sense 3.11.
