Thought its probably worth explaining what I think Version 1 of phpadadmin would look and be able to do. 

Things it needs to be able to do:

• Allow any user to edit their own Active Directory attributes.  [In Current Release]
  • Allow an administrator to determine which attributes can be edited [In Current Release]
  • Allow an administrator to dictate a range of choices for a field¹ [In Current Release]
• Allow the users access to all that directory information by providing a powerful search
  • Allow the administrator to determine which fields can be used to search on
  • and which fields can be returned in the search.
  • Users contacts details export to vCard format
  • Allow phone number to be formatted in a way that can be picked up by various SIP softphones i.e. phone://<number> etc. Read more…

Not a lot of new functionality added here mainly changing the back end to function better, and allowing you to set your ad password without first having to have you ad password set :S.

The environment checker now tests :

• If Seamless authentication is enabled correctly in IIS manager
• If it can connect to the mysql db if php extension is in place
• and if it can get any info out of AD using your current user. Read more…

Quick update on progress since I started to rewrite phpadadmin again,  All the config pages are now complete, and am now pulling the adldap config directly out of the DB.  

• Added a couple of nice new features like being able to force the site to https if such is your want. 
• Added the encryption functions in for the Self Service password resets.  
• Done some work on the look of the whole thing ( see screen shot below).

<farnsworth>”Good news everyone”</farnsworth> I have started to code phpadadmin again, on the back of the experience i have gained from the last couple of php projects I have been doing. This time its going to be better than ever before ( Naturally).  This time I have started with the background config and working up, so to speak. The attribute conifguration is now finished and has a web UI and mysql backend. This makes it alot easier to make changes. Also I have just got ajax forms validation working w00t! So you have assign each attribute whether its a required field and a number of others, or none at all such is your want. Read more…

I have had an unusually high number of Emails / Comment regarding phpadadmin recently.  Which has been quite refreshing to think people are still using it (or trying to).   Conincidentnally the domain phpadadmin.com is about to lapse which, I’m going to let happen. I’m going to start phpadadmin up again and this time utilise the adLDAP project instead of my own AD class. Read more…
