 ===== Description =====
-The ''ldap'' driver provides a small subset of ADOdb commands allowing **read-only** access to an LDAP database.
+From ADOdb Versions 5.22.8 and 5.23.0, the LDAP driver can be used in the same way as all the other drivers. Simply replace the SQL statement with a valid AD Query String
-===== Available Methods =====
-The following methods are available for use with the LDAP driver:
-  * [[reference:getassoc|getAssoc()]]
-  * [[reference:selectdb|selectDb()]]
-  * [[dictionary:serverinfo|serverInfo()]]
-  * [[reference:getrowassoc|getRowAssoc()]]
-Calls to other methods when used with this driver may produce unexpected results or program failure.
 ===== Usage =====
+You must use standard [[https://ldap.com/ldap-filters/|LDAP filter terms]] rather than SQL statements when executing a query. Any value provided in the //$bindvars// parameter is ignored,
+------------------------------------------------------------
 <code php>
-$db = newAdoConnection('ldap');
+DEFINE('ADODB_ASSOC_CASE',ADODB_ASSOC_CASE_UPPER);
+$db = ADOnewConnection('ldap');
+$db->setFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC);
+$baseDN   = 'dc=example,dc=com';
+$adServer = 'example.com';
+$user     = 'adodb@example.com';
+$password = 'adodb!';
+$db->connect($adServer,$user,$password,$baseDN);
+/*
+* Find the first 2 records where the given name is adodb
+*/
+$result = $db->selectLimit('(givenname=adodb)',2);
+while ($r = $result->fetchRow())
+{
+    print_r($r);
+}
 </code>
-===== Custom Functionality =====
+Returns the following data. Note that some elements may contain **array** or **binary** data. In this example, the 1st record contains 29 columns, and the second 30.
-If defined prior to connection, the following variables will be passed as input bind variables.

+==== URI Connections ====
+The **//Server//** definition can be set in the form ''ldap://server-name''. You must use this if you want to:
+  - Use an alternate connection port ''ldap:⁄⁄server-name:3389''
+  - Use ldap over SSL - ''ldaps:⁄⁄server-name''
+===== Connection Parameters =====
+The following values may be injected into the connection via the use of [[v5:reference:connection:getrowassoc|setConnectionParameter()]]
+^ OPTION_NAME ^ Type ^
+| ''LDAP_OPT_DEREF'' | integer |
+| ''LDAP_OPT_SIZELIMIT'' | integer |
+| ''LDAP_OPT_TIMELIMIT'' | integer |
+| ''LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION'' | integer |
+| ''LDAP_OPT_ERROR_NUMBER'' | integer |
+| ''LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS'' | boolean |
+| ''LDAP_OPT_RESTART'' | boolean |
+| ''LDAP_OPT_HOST_NAME'' | string |
+| ''LDAP_OPT_ERROR_STRING'' | string |
+| ''LDAP_OPT_MATCHED_DN'' | string |
+| ''LDAP_OPT_SERVER_CONTROLS'' | array |
+| ''LDAP_OPT_CLIENT_CONTROLS'' | array |
+From ADOdb 5.22.8 and 5.23.0, default values set are as follows
+^Parameter^Value^
+|LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION|3|
+|LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS|0|
+These values can be changed with **//setConnectionParameter()//**
+The following usage method is deprecated in PHP8.2 and will not work with PHP 8.3. Use **//setConnectionParameter()//** instead.
-Make sure to set this BEFORE calling Connect()
