How to crate/delete users in Active Directory using php?

hi,

there are various commandline utils that you can do this with. You didnt mention what version of ad you are running on so this may not be correct, but check out

ds add --> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731279%28WS.10%29.aspx

Thanks, the link looks interresting.

But I`m running the AD on a Windows 2003-server. And I want to connect with php running on apache on linux.

So I`m looking for a tool that run commands on a linux-box, that connect to AD and do stuff.

Some other tip?

or you could look at linking linux and ad together.

have a read of the following :

To do what you want, use an LDAP connection:

See this link for a examples and troubleshooting:

I made some php scripts to create and delete users in AD.
All the info I needed was available on php.net.
Check this site for more info: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.ldap.php

The commands you will mostly be interested in are:
ldap_add to create an AD object
ldap_mod_add to add the user to AD groups
ldap_delete to delete an AD object.

ldap_rename and ldap_modify can also be very useful.

Good luck.

Managed to do what I wanted with telnet, expect sripts, and PHP.

php, is calling an expectscript with a set of arguments that is pushed to the windows-server via telnet(unsecure, and unencrypted).

Used asadd, and dsrm, thats part of windows command line tool, to modify AD.

IMPORTANT:
Do not use this solution in any unsecure enviorment.!!
It is a much better solution som implement ldap-support.
