The Bakery Everything CakePHP

Many organizations today utilize LDAP to store client and employee information. This tutorial will show you how to harness that data (as use in a CakePHP model) in your applications.

John Anderson wrote an article about building a model around LDAP. This snippit is an extension, implementing a much more full-featured LDAP model

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.

When I first started, I realized that CakePHP didn't have an LDAP data source officially supported yet. I did find two articles about some good attempts. One by euphrate, unfortunately this one was only for reading from ldap. The second one was by Gservat, this one was a bit more complete, but was not really working for me.
