I have tried us

Answer 1

I can't recall where I found this one article; however I found out that by default even if you specify the TLS_REQCERT never it is ignored.

What I found out / then forgot about and found out again is you need to do the following (for windows machines)

1. Create the following directory structure on your drive c in the root c:\OpenLDAP\sysconf (create the two folders)
2. Inside the sysconf folder create a text file called "ldap.conf"
3. In the text file you created put the following on the first line and then save "TLS_REQCERT never" (Without the quotes)
4. Restart Apache and it should work now.

Give it a try. and good luck!

Answer 2

You can try changing the following line:

$resource = ldap_connect("ldaps://{redacted}/", 636)

To use your port number directly in the URI instead

$resource = ldap_connect("ldaps://{redacted}:636")

This has been known to work when the other will not.
