            <classname>Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap</classname> supports web application authentication
            with <acronym>LDAP</acronym> services. Its features include username and domain name
            canonicalization, multi-domain authentication, and failover capabilities. It has been
            tested to work with
            <ulink

                Active Directory</ulink> and <ulink url="http://www.openldap.org/">OpenLDAP</ulink>,
            but it should also work with other <acronym>LDAP</acronym> service providers.

            To incorporate <classname>Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap</classname> authentication into your
            application quickly, even if you're not using <classname>Zend_Controller</classname>,
            the meat of your code should look something like the following:

        <para>
            Of course, the logging code is optional, but it is highly recommended that you use a
            logger. <classname>Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap</classname> will record just about every bit
            of information anyone could want in <varname>$messages</varname> (more below), which is
            a nice feature in itself for something that has a history of being notoriously difficult
            to debug.
        </para>

        <para>
            The <classname>Zend_Config_Ini</classname> code is used above to load the adapter
            options. It is also optional. A regular array would work equally well. The following is
            an example <filename>application/config/config.ini</filename> file that has options for
            two separate servers. With multiple sets of server options the adapter will try each, in
            order, until the credentials are successfully authenticated. The names of the servers
            (e.g., 'server1' and 'server2') are largely arbitrary. For details regarding the options
            array, see the <emphasis>Server Options</emphasis> section below. Note that
            <classname>Zend_Config_Ini</classname> requires that any values with "equals" characters
            (<emphasis>=</emphasis>) will need to be quoted (like the DNs shown below).

            Note that in this case, even though OpenLDAP has no need for the short NetBIOS style

            The information provided in each set of options above is different mainly because AD
            does not require a username be in DN form when binding (see the
            <property>bindRequiresDn</property> option in the <emphasis>Server Options</emphasis>
            section below), which means we can omit a number of options associated with retrieving
            the DN for a username being authenticated.

            <title>What is a Distinguished Name?</title>
            <para>
                A DN or "distinguished name" is a string that represents the path to an object
                within the <acronym>LDAP</acronym> directory. Each comma-separated component is an
                attribute and value representing a node. The components are evaluated in reverse.
                For example, the user account
                <emphasis>CN=Bob Carter,CN=Users,DC=w,DC=net</emphasis> is located directly
                within the <emphasis>CN=Users,DC=w,DC=net container</emphasis>. This structure is
                best explored with an <acronym>LDAP</acronym> browser like the
                <acronym>ADSI</acronym> Edit <acronym>MMC</acronym> snap-in for Active Directory or
                phpLDAPadmin.

        <para>
            The names of servers (e.g. 'server1' and 'server2' shown above) are largely arbitrary,
            but for the sake of using <classname>Zend_Config</classname>, the identifiers should be
            present (as opposed to being numeric indexes) and should not contain any special
            characters used by the associated file formats (e.g. the '<emphasis>.</emphasis>'
            <acronym>INI</acronym> property separator, '<emphasis>&amp;</emphasis>' for
            <acronym>XML</acronym> entity references, etc).

        <para>
            With multiple sets of server options, the adapter can authenticate users in multiple
            domains and provide failover so that if one server is not available, another will be
            queried.
        </para>

        <note>
            <title>The Gory Details: What Happens in the Authenticate Method?</title>
            <para>
                When the <methodname>authenticate()</methodname> method is called, the adapter
                iterates over each set of server options, sets them on the internal
                <classname>Zend_Ldap</classname> instance, and calls the
                <methodname>Zend_Ldap::bind()</methodname> method with the username and password
                being authenticated. The <classname>Zend_Ldap</classname> class checks to see if
                the username is qualified with a domain (e.g., has a domain component like
                <filename>alice@foo.net</filename> or <filename>FOO\alice</filename>). If a domain
                is present, but does not match either of the server's domain names
                (<filename>foo.net</filename> or <acronym>FOO</acronym>), a special exception is
                thrown and caught by <classname>Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap</classname> that causes that
                server to be ignored and the next set of server options is selected. If a domain
                <emphasis>does</emphasis> match, or if the user did not supply a qualified username,
                <classname>Zend_Ldap</classname> proceeds to try to bind with the supplied
                credentials. if the bind is not successful, <classname>Zend_Ldap</classname> throws
                a <classname>Zend_Ldap_Exception</classname> which is caught by
                <classname>Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap</classname> and the next set of server options is
                tried. If the bind is successful, the iteration stops, and the adapter's
                <methodname>authenticate()</methodname> method returns a successful result. If all
                server options have been tried without success, the authentication fails, and
                <methodname>authenticate()</methodname> returns a failure result with error messages
                from the last iteration.

                            <classname>Zend_Ldap</classname> to automatically retrieve the DN
                            corresponding to the username being authenticated, if it is not already
                            in DN form, and then re-bind with the proper DN. The default value is
                            <constant>FALSE</constant>. Currently only Microsoft Active Directory
                            Server (<acronym>ADS</acronym>) is known <emphasis>not</emphasis> to
                            require usernames to be in DN form when binding, and therefore this
                            option may be <constant>FALSE</constant> with AD (and it should be, as
                            retrieving the DN requires an extra round trip to the server).
                            Otherwise, this option must be set to <constant>TRUE</constant> (e.g.
                            for OpenLDAP). This option also controls the default
                            <property>acountFilterFormat</property> used when searching for
                            accounts. See the <property>accountFilterFormat</property> option.

                            <emphasis>DC=</emphasis> components. For example, if the user's

                            of 3, the identity returned by

                            not required, that the same <property>accountCanonicalForm</property>
                            be used with all server options so that the resulting usernames are
                            always canonicalized to the same form (e.g., if you canonicalize to
                            <filename>EXAMPLE\username</filename> with an AD server but to
                            <filename>username@example.com</filename> with an OpenLDAP server, that
                            may be awkward for the application's high-level logic).

                            necessary for binding. It is also used to determine if the server is an
                            authority for the supplied username (e.g., if
                            <property>accountDomainName</property> is <filename>foo.net</filename>
                            and the user supplies <filename>bob@bar.net</filename>, the server will
                            not be queried, and a failure will result). This option is not
                            required, but if it is not supplied, usernames in principal name form
                            (e.g., <filename>alice@foo.net</filename>) are not supported. It is
                            strongly recommended that you supply this option, as there are many
                            use-cases that require generating the principal name form.

                                default is not common in larger organizations. Ask your AD
                                administrator what the best DN for accounts for your application
                                would be.

                                You almost certainly want this to be 3 for backslash style names
                                (e.g., <filename>FOO\alice</filename>), which are most familiar to
                                Windows users. You should <emphasis>not</emphasis> use the
                                unqualified form 2 (e.g., <emphasis>alice</emphasis>), as this may
                                grant access to your application to users with the same username in
                                other trusted domains (e.g., <filename>BAR\alice</filename> and
                                <filename>FOO\alice</filename> will be treated as the same user).

                    Technically there should be no danger of accidental cross-domain authentication
                    with the current <classname>Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap</classname> implementation,
                    since server domains are explicitly checked, but this may not be true of a
                    future implementation that discovers the domain at runtime, or if an alternative
                    adapter is used (e.g., Kerberos). In general, account name ambiguity is known to
                    be the source of security issues, so always try to use qualified account names.

                                this option is required and should be a short name that corresponds
