intranet to run on php and use active directory user credentials

hi all,

havent really delved into intranets before, but im guessing the set up is pretty much the same, i put my web files in a directory and point the users to the server address?

how can i set up the servers intranet to run on php and how would i get user names from active directory into the intranet with different levels of access?

so user logs on to domain, intranet is home page, the website knows who they are and what pages there allowed to view on the intranet

Thanks
Alex

I feel like the Zend Framework (http://framework.zend.com/) would suit you perfectly.

It will take a bit to learn it however using their authentication (Zend_Auth) and LDAP (Zend_Ldap and Zend_Auth_Ldap) modules you will be able to achieve Active Directory persistent authentication.

I've attached a basic Login processing class (that I use with flex) and the LDAP config file to show what sort of settings you need to use.

The Zend Reference guide provides some solid information on getting started with using Zend Framework. It may seem like overkill but you are not forced to use the entire thing, only the parts that you need.
