ThreadText: # Using ADLDAP plugin in Craft 2.6 - can't bind to LDAP
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-11-09)
  
  I'm working with the ADLDAP plugin in order to provide frontend authentication against my organizations Active Directory. The problem is that I continually receive the message "Can't bind to LDAP server!" after attempting to log in.
  
  I tested the LDAP connection first on Windows Server 2016, by using the built in LDP.exe utility, and that test proved successful.
  Next, I constructed a pure PHP page, and the LDAP binding was successful.  
  Here is that code:
  
  ```php
  <?php
  
  // using ldap bind
  $ldaprdn  = '*****';     // ldap rdn or dn
  $ldappass = '*****';  // associated password
  
  // connect to ldap server
  $ldapconn = ldap_connect("***.***.***.***")
      or die("Could not connect to LDAP server.");
  
  if ($ldapconn) {
  
      // binding to ldap server
      $ldapbind = ldap_bind($ldapconn, $ldaprdn, $ldappass);
  
      // verify binding
      if ($ldapbind) {
          echo "LDAP bind successful...";
      } else {

  In more testing, I was able to eliminate the "Can't bind to LDAP server!" error message from Craft by removing both: Account Suffix and Admin Account Suffix settings from the ADLDAP parameter control panel.  
  In my particular setup, I left all parameters empty in the 'optional' section of the parameter control panel, with the exception of the port ('389') and 'Follow Referrals.'
