LDAP modifying user info and preventing duplicates


Below is my code for a user modifying their own password. This form works flawlessly. Now the problem here is that I want to user to be able to change their email, phone, or even their name. I use an admin account so it has privleges to search up everyone in LDAP and retrieve all information about everyone. Now the problem is I dont want user's inserting duplicates so if a person with email bobizumi@stackoverflow.com already exists in LDAP then the user shouldnt be allowed to enter this email. Same goes for name and email. I am not sure how to do this search for duplicates, I am assuming it uses ldap_search and ldap_get_entries but I am new to programming with LDAP so I am need some programming assistance on how to go about this. If I can see an example or someone can show me an example with perhaps preventing name duplicate and ldap search with admin privleges then I can go on from there and do the rest on my own but I am just really stuck with the code part and not the logic. I can't find too many examples out there on documentation of ldap and its integration and functionality with PHP or any code snippets so I am stuck trying thigns from PHP manual.

PHP:

function changePassword($server,$dn,$user,$oldPassword,$newPassword,$newPasswordCnf){
  global $message;

  error_reporting(0);

  $con=ldap_connect($server);
  ldap_set_option($con, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);

  $findWhat = array ("cn","mail","*");
  $findWhere = $dn;
  $findFilter = "(uid=$user)";

  #bind anon and find user by uid
  $sr = ldap_search($con,$dn,$findFilter,$findWhat);
  $records = ldap_get_entries($con, $sr);
  // echo "<pre>";print_r($records);
  /* error if found more than one user */
  if ($records["count"] != "1") {
    $message[] = "Error E100 - Wrong user.";
    return false; 
  }else {
    $message[] = "Found user <b>".$records[0]["cn"][0]."</b>";
  }

  /* try to bind as that user */
  if (ldap_bind($con, $records[0]["dn"], $oldPassword) === false) {
    $message[] = "Error E104 - Current password is wrong.";
    return false;
  }
  else {    echo"TEST";
  $sr = ldap_search($con,$dn,$findFilter,$findWhat);
  $records = ldap_get_entries($con, $sr);
   echo "<pre>";print_r($records);
   }

  if ($newPassword != $newPasswordCnf ) {
    $message[] = "Error E101 - New passwords do not match! ";
    return false;
  }
  if (strlen($newPassword) < 8 ) {
    $message[] = "Error E102 - Your new password is too short! ";
    return false;
  }
  if (!preg_match("/[0-9]/",$newPassword)) {
    $message[] = "Error E103 - Your password must contain at least one digit. ";
    return false;
  }
  if (!preg_match("/[a-zA-Z]/",$newPassword)) {
    $message[] = "Error E103 - Your password must contain at least one letter. ";
    return false;
  }






  $entry = array();
  $entry["userPassword"] = "{SHA}" . base64_encode( pack( "H*", sha1( $newPassword ) ) );
  if (ldap_modify($con,$records[0]["dn"],$entry) === false){
    $message[] = "E200 - Your password cannot be change, please contact the administrator.";
  }
  else { 
    $message[] = " Your password has been changed. "; 
    //mail($records[0]["mail"][0],"Password change notice : ".$user,"Your password has just been changed."); 
    } 
}  

?>

Solution

  • OpenLDAP has a 'uniqueness' overlay designed for exactly this. You load it via slapd.conf and configure which attributes you require to be unique.
