							|  |  |  | <br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | This library provides the access to the LDAP server and its content.<br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | The <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">$_SESSION['ldap']</span> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | object reconnects automatically to the LDAP server on every page load.<br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <h2>1. Server handle</h2> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | All PHP functions which access LDAP require a server handle as | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | parameter. This is managed by ldap.inc.<br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | You can access it with <span | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">$_SESSION['ldap']->server</span>.<br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <h2>2. Object classes</h2> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Account modules may want to check if the current LDAP server supports | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | all required object classes.<br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">$_SESSION['ldap']->objectClasses | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | </span>contains a list of object classes and their attributes which is | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | read from the LDAP server.<br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <h2>3. En-/Decryption</h2> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | For security reasons sensitive data like user passwords should be | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | encrypted before storing in session.<br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">$_SESSION['ldap']->encrypt(<string>)</span> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | encrypts a string and returns a binary object. This can be decrypted | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | with <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">$_SESSION['ldap']->decrypt(<object>)</span><br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <br> |

							|  |  |  | <h2>4. Random values</h2> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Ldap.inc contains a random integer value which is much more secure than | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | calling <span style="font-style: italic;">mt_rand()</span>. The value | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | changes on every page load and is accessible in <span | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">$_SESSION['ldap']->rand</span><span | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  style="font-style: italic;">.</span><br> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | If you need multiple values you can get a new value by calling <span | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">$_SESSION['ldap']->new_rand()</span><span | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  style="font-style: italic;">.</span><br> |
