(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)
ldap_start_tls — Startet TLS
Diese Funktion ist bis jetzt nicht dokumentiert. Es steht nur die Liste der Argumente zur Verfügung.
Note that, on Windows, due to a bug in the php_ldap extension for php 5.3.2, the location of the ldap.conf may change.
In this case, PHP expects the ldap.conf file to be in the root filesystem where the Webserver Document root is installed (for instance C:\ldap.conf).
This seems to be fixed in PHP 5.3.3RC1
See the following bug reference:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48866
ldaps:// (on port 636) is NOT the same as using STARTTLS on port 389.
The second method upgrades the security of a plain connection to an encrypted channel, which is strongly recommended for plain binding (DN/password).
Note : if you are using OpenLdap client > v2 and PHP > 4.0.4, you don't have to use that function. You just have to specify it using
<?php
ldap_connect("ldaps://yourhostname", 636);
?>
If you use both ldaps:// uri and ldap_start_tls function, you'll get a warning saying that a TLS/SSL session is already open.
Tested in Linux, ubuntu 9.10, PHP/5.2.10-2 and Apache/2.2.1.2
INTEGRATING ACTIVE DIRECTORY WITH PHP-LDAP AND TLS IN LINUX
=============================================================
I'm not an expert, but it works.
1)I have installed ubuntu 9.10 desktop
2)Packages:
apt-get install apache2
apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
apt-get install libldap-2.4-2
apt-get install ldap-utils
apt-get install libsasl2-modules-ldap
apt-get install openssl
apt-get install libsasl2-2
apt-get install libkrb5-3
apt-get install php5-ldap
apt-get install php5-sasl
apt-get install php5-auth-pam
3)Put the PEM certificate.
cd /etc/ldap
mkdir certs
copy /myhome/mycert.pem /etc/ldap/certs/mycert.pem
NOTE:webcert.crt rename to mycert.pem. It's the same
4)Edit the file /etc/ldap/ldap.conf and Add:
TLS_REQCERT never
TLS_CACERT /etc/ldap/certs/mycert.pem
5)Create file /var/www/ldaptlstest.php:
<?php
$ldap="ldap.myDomain.com";
$usr="user@myDomain.com";
$pwd="mypassword";
$ds=ldap_connect($ldap);
$ldapbind=false;
if(ldap_set_option($ds, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3))
if(ldap_set_option($ds, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, 0))
if(ldap_start_tls($ds))
$ldapbind = @ldap_bind($ds, $usr, $pwd);
ldap_close($ds);
if(!$ldapbind)
echo "ERROR";
else
echo "OK";
?>
6)Restart the server: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
7)Open Firefox and write: http://localhost/ldaptlstest.php
;)
INTEGRATING ACTIVE DIRECTORY WITH PHP-LDAP AND TLS
==================================================
My configuration:
Apache/2.2.14 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.8k PHP/5.2.11
NOTE 1: At the momment, the versión 5.3.1 fail with tls
NOTE 2: This example works on windows, but in linux is similar
1) Download the Certificate X.509 (PEM format) from a web browser, I used Firefox. I put the name webcert.crt
2) Create the folder c:\openldap\sysconf
3) Copy the file webcert.crt to c:\openldap\sysconf
4) With notepad you must create the file c:\openldap\sysconf\ldap.conf file. The file contents:
TLS_REQCERT never
TLS_CACERT c:\openldap\sysconf\webcert.crt
5) The code:
<?php
$ldap="ldap.myDomain.com";
$usr="user@myDomain.com";
$pwd="mypassword";
$ds=ldap_connect($ldap);
$ldapbind=false;
if(ldap_set_option($ds, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3))
if(ldap_set_option($ds, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, 0))
if(ldap_start_tls($ds))
$ldapbind = @ldap_bind($ds, $usr, $pwd);
ldap_close($ds);
if(!$ldapbind)
echo "ERROR";
else
echo "OK";
?>
I seemingly take forever to make use of ldap_start_tls work.
Especially lacking in document, I was frustrate and almost gave up until I saw this link in the php forum.
I thought it is worth for put the link in here.
http://marc.info/?l=php-windows&m=116127873321748&w=2
it is really work, and it saves me.
If your version was linked against the OpenLDAP libraries, you may want to look at the ldap.conf file for more information about specifying SSL/TLS behavior. Apparently, the settings in ldap.conf make a different in the way SSL/TLS is handled by PHP.
More on TLS start.
It seems that either you ldap_connect to ldaps://, port 636 or you ldap_tls_start.
In my case, using ldaps on port 636 (to be sure I enforce TLS) the connection will go like:
$LDAP_SERVER="ldaps://ldap.../";
$LDAP_PORT=636;
$ds = ldap_connect($LDAP_SERVER,$LDAP_PORT);
if ($ds) {
if (!ldap_set_option($ds, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3)) {
fatal_error("Failed to set LDAP Protocol version to 3, TLS not supported.");
}
/*** NO NEED ***
* if (!ldap_start_tls($ds)) {
* exit;
* }
***/
// now we need to bind anonymously to the ldap server
$bth = ldap_bind($ds);
//make your query
Please note there is a difference between ldaps and start-TLS for ldap. start-TLS uses port 389, while ldaps uses port 636. ldaps has been deprecated in favour of start-TLS for ldap. Both encrypted (start-TLS ldap) and unencrypted ldap (ldap) run on port 389 concurrently.
Errors encountered are generally due to misunderstanding how to implement TLS-encrypted ldap.
Note that (in my very limited experience) you cannot use the ldaps protocol with tls, or ldap_start_tls() will report "ldap_start_tls(): Unable to start TLS: Operations error", and ldap_error() will return error code 1.
I found that I had to call ldap_connect() with ldap:// rather than ldaps:// for ldap_start_tls() to succeed. Hope this helps someone!
It should be mentioned, that TLS connections for LDAP *REQUIRE* you to use LDAP Protocol version 3. By default, PHP uses Protocol 2.
Therefore, if you do not know this, you may be puzzled as to why you get "TLS not supported" error.
To get around this, just use ldap_set_option to make the LDAP connection use Protocol 3 (if supported).
For example:
$ds = ldap_connect($LDAP_SERVER,$LDAP_PORT);
if ($ds) {
if (!ldap_set_option($ds, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3)) {
fatal_error("Failed to set LDAP Protocol version to 3, TLS not supported.");
}
if (!ldap_start_tls($ds)) {
fatal_error("Ldap_start_tls failed");
}
// now we need to bind anonymously to the ldap server
$bth = ldap_bind($ds);
//make your query
}
