The Bakery Everything CakePHP

This article presents a simple LDAP datasource which can be used with the cake framework (both 1.1.x and 1.2.x). With this datasource, a cake web application should be able to interact with a LDAP 'database' (such as openldap or Microsoft Active Directory) just as if it was a Sql-like database.

This tutorial shows through a simple example how to perform a search query on a model using a ldap datasource.
