Hellos all thanks to the help of ackbarr yesterday I was able to finally find the hack for LDAP auth, but I have ran into an issue since I am not familar with LDAP or PHP I thought maybe one of you could help me out. The issue is that once LDAP is choosen as the auth method I can't get in I think this is due to the way my LDAP is setup, but I am not sure how to fix the ldap.php file to make the auth work. I have sent samples of my slpad.conf, ldap user dump, and the ldap.php file for you all to review and maybe you can point me in the right direction.

Once again thank you to all that take the time to help a confused man out!

Thanks
