Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a complication and cause of premature death among people with diabetes. Unfortunately, many people with diabetes do not understand the risk of cardiovascular disease or what they can do to help prevent it.
Diabetes is a disorder in which the body does not make insulin, does not make enough insulin, or does not properly use the insulin it makes (insulin resistance). Insulin helps the body use the bodies favorite source of energy, sugar. Without insulin, glucose (sugar) from food cannot enter cells. Glucose builds up in the blood and body tissues become starved for energy. Long-term, high blood sugar levels can damage the arteries, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and other tissues.
Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
Adults with diabetes are 2-4 times more likely to have CVD than people without diabetes. In people with diabetes, high blood glucose levels are associated with the development of atherosclerosis. This is a condition in which fatty deposits (plaque) damage the lining of the arteries, causing them to narrow and harden. Atherosclerosis, the main cause of CVD, interferes with blood flow—ultimately leading to several manifestations of CVD including:
- Coronary artery disease and heart attacks
- Cerebrovascular disease and stroke
- Peripheral artery disease and claudication (pain with walking)
Why Is There a Risk?
People with type 2 diabetes often have an increased risk of CVD for the following reasons:
- Their platelets have an added tendency to clump together leading to clotting problems and poor blood flow.
- They have higher rates of high blood pressure and obesity.
- They tend to have unfavorable lipid profiles, particularly increased LDL or "bad" cholesterol; low levels of HDL, or "good" cholesterol; and increased levels of triglycerides.
People with diabetes who smoke double their risk of CVD.
Who Are the High-risk Groups?
Those with the highest risk for diabetes and its CVD complications include:
- People with a family history of diabetes
- Overweight and obese people, especially extra weight around the waist
- Older people
- Special populations
- African Americans
- Hispanic/Latino Americans
- American Indians
- Asian Americans
- Pacific Islanders
Management of Diabetes
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the management of three critical indicators is essential for reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes in people with diabetes:
- Blood glucose is measured with the hemoglobin A1C test. The recommended goal for this test is a reading of less than 7%.
- Blood pressure should be less than 130/80 mmHg.
- LDL cholesterol should be less than 100 mg/dl (2.6 mmol/L).
- Triglycerides should be under 150 mg/dL.
- For men, HDL (good) cholesterol should be above 40 mg/dL; for women, it should be over 50 mg/dL.
Individual goals may vary some. Talk to your doctor about which goals are right for you.
How Do You Lower the Risk?
People with diabetes can lower their risk of CVD with therapeutic lifestyle changes such as smoking cessation, weight management, and regular exercise. Drug therapy is also available to control some risk factors for CVD and prevent or treat the complications of diabetes.
People with diabetes can take the following steps to help reduce their risk of CVD:
- Get involved in treatment decisions with your healthcare team.
- Be actively involved in the management of your disease.
- Set lifestyle goals.
- Become well-educated about diabetes and CVD.
- Eat a healthy diet that's low in saturated fat and cholesterol and low in sodium.
- Eat more fiber.
- Get at least 30-60 minutes of physical activity on most days of the week.
- Diligently control your blood glucose, cholesterol, and blood pressure with and without medications.
- Ask about aspirin therapy for CVD prevention.
- If you smoke, quit. If you need help quitting, talk to your doctor.

My Letter From Kathleen...
I received a nice letter from Kathleen over the week-end about "Medicare and the New Health Care Law – What it Means for You". I couldn't wait to open it and read the contents. This Kathleen by the way is Kathleen Sebelius who just happens to be Secretary of Health & Human Services for the
Village Buzz - June 3rd
Our new Germantown Schools Superintendent, Dr. Susan Borden, has asked for your opinions as to four questions. The survey form is found on the Germantown Schools website. The questions are:
26 Outs & Oops...
There is a real role model in major league sports and his name is Armando Galarraga and he pitches for the Detroit Tigers. He had pitched a perfect game and needed one more out in the ninth inning to seal his place in history…and the umpire blew the call.

Helen Thomas either 'slipped' or said exactly what she thought when she was asked about
Budgets Awash in Red
Budgets in the public sector are in atrocious condition. Our school systems fight to maintain balanced budgets without jeopardizing the quality of their product. Our state will begin its next budget cycle with a $2.3 Billion deficit.
Presidential Language
Our President is getting kicked around a bit by people in both parties. He is accused of having not been 'tough enough' on BP amid the disappointing efforts to stop the oil flowing into the
Bucket Lists
Bucket lists have been discussed during the past few years. I don't recall the term prior to that time, but it refers to that list of "must do" things one might develop in anticipation of life's days winding down.
Where Are the Right-Minded People?
How many times have we seen the news coverage of our soldiers returning to
Hard-Working Congress
We all know, or at least we should know because we've been reminded over and over again, that we have a very hard-working Congress. We know that they sometimes work so hard that they have to pass laws in the middle of the night. Now that is hard-working if I've ever heard about it. At least you and I get to sleep once in awhile. We don't have to go on junkets or attend party after party to raise more money with which to gather votes. We aren't expected to travel overseas to gain knowledge with which to run the country.
Bank Take-Overs
We have changed banks again for the fourth time in not-too-many years. It is not due to lack of good service or competitive offerings. It is due to the seemingly constant shuffle of owners.
Village Buzz - June 14th
What a Shame…
Too Big To Work?
We have heard the phrase, "too big to fail" and for many, many months. That has me wondering if there is another phrase that ought to become just as familiar to us.
Morning After Pill
If there were a morning after pill that Presidents could take following a speech that drew negative comments from both liberal and conservative pundits, President Obama would be picking up the glass of water and the pill this morning. He might even take two of those magic pills just to be sure he ridded himself of the stigma.
Bits and Pieces - June 17th
Economic Disconnect?
There seems to be a disconnect at work so far as our country's economy as well as that of our state and region.
What Have We Become?
There are, unfortunately, occurrences that make one wonder whether or not we are truly a civilized people.
Another Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight?
There apparently is another "gang that can't shoot straight" in
Retention or Resignation?
Gen. McChrystal meets with President Obama this morning and may or may not emerge from that meeting with his command intact.
Disclosure From Washington?
"Disclose Act" is the name of a bill (HR 5175) that the current majority is working diligently to move through the House of Representatives.
'Being Right' With Others...
There are too few among us who give any thought to their relationships on a daily basis. Then, we have an accident such as the one near Oconomowoc last week that claimed three young lives. The loss of a young life in a kayak incident on
The G20 Told Us...
Isn't it interesting that our country has been told off, in an economic sense, by the European Union countries?
Redemption is alive and well within our U.S. Senate. Two recent deaths from within the group of then-currently seated Senators gave us that redemptive window through which to view these people.

Mountains and Plains Child Welfare Implementation Center (MPCWIC)
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Children's Bureau awarded a cooperative agreement to The University of Texas at Arlington, School of Social Work, Center for Child Welfare to work in collaboration with University of Denver's Butler Institute for Families and the Native American Training Institute, over a five year period to establish the Mountains and Plains Child Welfare Implementation Center (MPCWIC). Our Implementation Center provides services to tribal and state child welfare agencies in federal Regions VI and VIII.
Goals of MPCWIC
The MPCWIC team enters into formal partnerships with States and Tribes in its assigned geographic service area to:
- facilitate sustainable systems change through Implementation projects that will take 2 to 4 years to complete
- provide implementation expertise through intensive long term technical assistance
- execute projects intended to achieve sustainable, systemic practice change
- implement strategies that result in greater safety, permanency, and well-being for children, youth, and families
- facilitate peer to peer learning and networking across State and Tribal child welfare agencies
Theoretical Framework
MPCWIC theoretical framework for providing guidance to States and Tribes is guided by the literature and science on implementation published over the past several years. We believe implementation does not happen all at once but in stages.
Our Approach
Our approach for each implementation project will focus on aligning technical assistance and evaluation with the six stages of implementation:
- Exploration
- Installation
- Initial implementation
- Full implementation
- Innovation
- Sustainability

Milan Fall 2011: Versace, Gianfranco Ferré
Getty Images View Gallery
(MILAN) Versace
Au revoir, corporate Teatro, and bonjour, Via Gesu. Donatella Versace showed her Fall 2011 collection in the courtyard of her brother Gianni's Milan manse, and she provided a fitting homage with an eighties-riffic parade of brights, pleats, minis, strong shoulders, and gold buttons galore. It wasn't as aggressively flashy as we've come to expect from Donatella in recent seasons, but it packed plenty of attitude. Beginning with straightforward black sheaths and jackets, dazzling with those medusa-bearing gold buttons, the looks were flush with the sort of big-pleat, big-pocket add-ons that make Versace, Versace. A scroll motif, presumably abstracted from Medusa, snaked up lean black and white dresses. A sheared mink jacket featured the motif as well while providing the only injection of red in a palette of silver, white, black, navy, plum, Big Bird yellow, and purple. (Yves Klein has his blue, but Donatella has her purple!) Even for evening, the effect is day-ish and modern—until you get a glimpse of those maribou feathers cascading down the backs of gowns. The house has never scrimped in the gown category, and accordingly, the priciest pieces have earned the most devout following. But this collection, with its pleated skirts, python jackets, and fearless boxy jackets, is just as strong during daylight. Power dressing, all the way.
Gianfranco Ferré
Making minimalism pulse-quickening is not always an easy task, but it's one well suited to Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi. Their Fall 2011 effort for Gianfranco Ferré pioneered a blissfully Italian take on this school of thought. When it comes to fabrics, these guys are Milan's answer to Francisco Costa. They lend themselves beautifully to un-tricky silhouettes, like the knee-length skirts, fitted sheaths, and dropped-shoulder jackets that comprised the strongest looks. Calfskin and pony played against satin and organza, with transparency—a Ferré trademark—adding the requisite gravitas.

From the USMS Rule book 101.2.3 breaststroke kick:
"After the start and after each turn, a single butterfly (dolphin) kick,
which must be followed by a breaststroke kick, is permitted during or at the completion of the first arm pull, following which, all movements of the legs shall be simultaneous and in the same horizontal plane without alternating movement."
Interestingly the rule allows for some variation in sequence. For the start and the turn, it does not state when the arm pull takes place.
Question: are the following sequences legal?
a. arm pull, dolphin kick, breaststroke kick
b. dolphin kick, arm pull, breaststroke kick
I agree with Midas that option B might make a DQ call a little more likely (though I disagree with him that judges "have it in" for anybody...I just think it is a hard call to make, and some judges pull the trigger more easily than others). You also might forget to separate your hands before the dolphin kick, or you might have a little "recoil" on the pull-down that is mistaken for a second dolphin kick.
It may well be that that "recoil" is the reason that they began allowing the single dolphin kick in the first place: it was too hard to distinguish it from an true/intentional kick.
I did not - but my simple experiments (with sample size of 1) seems to point to a substantial difference in the distance traveled between the two sequences. I have not measured time to a point but I think the result would be non-intuitive.

The other issue is that doing the dolphin first may extend the time underwater by delaying the initial arm pull. Since I only swim breaststroke during an IM, that's not always desirable for me by that point in a race. The additional oxygen debt may cut down any extra effectiveness of the dolphin first pullout.
But, look: I am as far from a breaststroke expert as it is possible to be. About the only thing I have going for me is that all of it is rather new to me, and I'm game for trying anything. Others may have different (and better) opinions.
Yes I can see the occasional mishap, even I dove in once or twice and almost went into freestyle before remembering it was a breast event. Pushing the rules is one thing, but deliberately breaking them (multiple times) is another.
Just another reason to add to my long laundry list of why I don't swim in meets anymore.
Check out my blog here
"You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."
That is how some people can get DQ'd...they separate the hands to start the pull...then dolphin kick...then put hands almost back together...and start their pull again...some have observed this as a double pull...even though it could be only one...once the hands separate and start the pull they should continue in one motion...that is why the rule says "during or at the end of..." if you stop your pull to dolphin kick...you have completely one cycle of pull and kick...
Which is why I agree with you on this Chris...get rid of the Dolphin kick and the tech suits and let's swim...

Breaststroke - For the swimmer who finds the other strokes too easy!!!!!!
"The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action." -- Bruce Lee
I know of someone of great renown in our sport who swam an entire 50 br LCM and did fly kick the entire way. He was in the middle lane, and there was a bet beforehand whether he would get DQd or not. I bet him a beer he'd get DQd b/c there was no way an official could miss that.
I owed him a beer.
He won. Afterwards he went to the officials and told them what he did, so the guy who got 2nd would get 1st. The officials told him to go away.
It's lame to intentionally cheat in the first place, but even worse when the officials are that bad.
(BTW, I do appreciate the time officials devote to our sport- not the point).
Not a breaststroker, but in the 100 breast, I've gone from 1:15 (Apr '09) to 1:12 (Sept '09) to 1:11 (Apr '10) in the last year. I will confess I hadn't really swum much breaststroke in meets until the last 18 months, but practice times had been pretty stagnant up until that point. One of our coaches (a breaststroker himself) noticed I sucked and after he spent a bit of time tinkering with it, we started seeing some time improvements. Plus, recent infatuations with IM necessitated more work on the BR.
Biggest thing I'd like to share with the group is head position. Since I've always kinda sucked at this, I've tinkered with several head positions over the years, but keeping my head in line with my spine, always looking down really helped my wave-like motion and helped keep my hips up, thus creating less drag and more speed in my stroke.
man up, buttercup!
The other points I focus on in every practice and before a race are keeping my elbows in front of my shoulders at all times,getting my feet up to my rear on the kick recovery,getting my feet turned out so my toes face the side of the pool at the catch,and getting my deltoids pressed tightly against my ears through the kick/glide to maximize streamlining.
Another important tip is to accelerate the pull from catch through the recovery so that it is a continuous movement.I like to say that BR doesn't have a recovery as the recovery is a continuous part of the pull.I see many Masters swimming BR pause at the end of the insweep before the recovery getting them caught in the dreaded"prayer position" which just stops your momentum.

A great web resource is Wayne McCauley's breaststroke guide:
Philipp A. Djang, Ph.D.

Since we're discussing breaststroke. I have a question about repeat times:
If I want to do a 1:10 in a 100 yard race, what time do I have to swim in repeats? Right now I can't get under 1:30 for 100's on 2:00.
Chris- I hope to God that your pace chart is right! Looking at my goal for my 200 I have been doing it right according to your chart, thankfully. Someone told me I needed to be 2 seconds faster per 50 in w/out and I haven't been able to do it yet!
Time (ha ha) will tell.

Ridley's position in the race-ready road marketplace has become so prominent in the last decade for a good reason. Why? Because Ridley is a 12-month-a-year manufacturer. What does that mean? It means that it makes world-class frames for every season and every discipline, each race-proven at the highest levels of professional cycling. The Helium SL tips the scales at a feathery 900g, but its toughness over the pavé has long made it a favorite of teams like Lotto-Belisol in the savagery of the March and April classics season. And the Noah has proven to be one of the biggest steps forward in road bike aerodynamics that we've ever seen. The Noah's R-Flow technology and unmatched stiffness made it the go-to all-purpose bike for Katusha in 2009 and 2010. It was ridden to both Tour de France stage victories under the legs of Greipel. Ridley takes its R-Flow airfoils to the extreme with the Dean frame—a bike designed with the single-minded purpose of GC victory in a Grand Tour. And no professional cyclocross team has the palmares of Team Fidea. Bart Wellens & co have ridden the carbon fiber X-Night and X-Fire to umpteen Superprestige and World Championship victories.
In its early years, Ridley built the reputation as a company specializing in bikes "tested on the pavé"—and this Made-in-Belgium heritage was something appealing to anyone sensitive to the rich bike culture of Flanders. In the years since, Ridley has graduated to the top echelon of race bike manufacturers. In fact, it's a leader in every conceivable way: Ridley builds light-but-bombproof frames; it builds ultra-aero road and time trial frames; and it's the undisputed leader of cyclocross design. Ridley's bikes, no matter the discipline, deliver a ride quality, a durability, and a beauty befitting its emerging position as Europe's most dynamic manufacturer of pro-caliber bicycles.

Fox Point OKs run-walk organizers' request to use village streets
The Fox Point Village Board on Tuesday approved a request by organizers to use village streets in conjunction with a planned 5K run-walk in support of a child who has a form of leukemia.
Nine-year-old Audrey Parrott, who lives in the area, was recently diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In an effort to fund a portion of the mounting medical expenses, organizers are planning the run-walk at 9:30 a.m. Sunday near Stormonth Elementary School, 7301 N. Longacre Road.
While organizers were given permission to use village streets, the board did not act on a request to waive fees associated with the usage request. The village does not have an ordinance that speaks to an organization asking to use village streets free of charge.
Plans to rebuild 14-mile stretch of I-43 set for hearing
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has proposals to rebuild a 14-mile stretch of I-43 between Glendale and Grafton, which may include adding or removing some highway interchanges.
Two public hearings will take place next week, on Wednesday and Thursday, to discuss options. Actions under consideration include rebuilding the main road, bridges and interchanges between Silver Spring Drive and Highway 60; constructing a new interchange at Highland Road; rebuilding local streets, and changing the partial interchange at County Line Road into a full interchange or perhaps removing the interchange altogether.
The project, which could begin in 2020, would require relocating 12 homes and three businesses, and would affect 27 acres of wetland, five acres of floodplain and 10 acres of farmland.
The hearings also will focus on design and environmental impacts, including the depositing of fill materials into bodies of water, which may require approval from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The public may attend any of two meetings to review displays, ask questions and provide testimony:» Read Full Article
Village might buy American TV store in Brown Deer
The former American TV & Appliance store in Brown Deer, which is being sold to a local investor, could end up being owned by the Village of Brown Deer.
The village has agreed to pay $2.6 million for the 80,000-square-foot building and its 10-acre lot, said Nate Piotrowski, community development director.
The Village Board approved the purchase plan last week.
On Monday, a Dane County Circuit Court judge approved real estate investor John Schlueter's $7.2 million bid to buy the former American TV stores in Pewaukee and Brown Deer, and 19 acres of vacant land in Oak Creek.
Schlueter said his company, Frontline Commercial Real Estate LLC, already has launched discussions with prospective tenants for the buildings.» Read Full Article
Salotto Zarletti opening in Mequon on Monday
Salotto Zarletti, restaurateur-chef Brian Zarletti's Mequon restaurant focusing on the food of southern Italy, debuts Monday for dinner.
It's opening at 1515 W. Mequon Road, in the Shops at East Towne Square.
Southern Italian is a change for Zarletti, who has focused more on central Italy at his flagship restaurant in downtown Milwaukee, Zarletti, at 741 N. Milwaukee St., and at his casual pizza restaurant, Rustico, at 223 N. Water St.
Salotto — lounge, in Italian — has a wood-burning oven from Naples, and part of the menu is devoted to Neapolitan-style pizzas, baked at about 900 degrees and ready in 90 seconds. They'll include one with soppressato, tomato and caciocavallo and pecorino cheeses; pizzas will range from about $9 to $14.» Read Full Article
Urbashich reflects on 17 years on the Mequon-Thiensville School Board
Mequon — Public education has gone through a lot of changes in the last 17 years. In the Mequon-Thiensville School District, Suzette Urbashich has been there to tackle them head on.
The Mequon mother of two still recalls moving to the district in 1986 and taking an early interest in school board happenings. At the time, there were not many board members with young children, and there had never been a board member from her rural west end of the village.
Urbashich's election victory in 1997 changed both of those things, marking the beginning of a long tenure that would witness drastic changes in the realms of politics, demographics and technological advancement.
It wasn't long before Urbashich would realize that these external factors were playing an important role within the school district. The school district's most pressing issue – declining enrollment – can be traced back to zoning decisions made by the Mequon Village Board in the early 2000s.
For better or worse, village officials decided to maintain the rural character by zoning land outside of the sewer district for five-acre lots. When the economic downturn hit, young families were more reluctant to make a large investment in a new lot when they could spend less money in a neighboring district, Urbashich said. Families were also deciding to have fewer children in general.» Read Full Article
Woman arrested after being found with her face in a plate of salad
A Milwaukee woman was arrested for possession of controlled substances and drug paraphernalia after she was found slumped over in her car, her face in a plate of salad, on April 10.
According to the Glendale police report:
A 24-year-old Milwaukee woman was found slumped over in her car in the 5100 block of North Port Washington Road at 12:20 p.m. April 10.
The woman said she was pregnant and had been at a methadone clinic and became tired so she stopped driving. She also admitted smoking crack "earlier" but now "had nothing left."
Police found 3.1 grams of cocaine, 0.6 grams of marijuana, Suboxone pills and glass pipes in the woman's possession.
Resurfacing of 14 miles of I-43 to force lane closures
Crews will begin construction work Wednesday evening on a 14-mile stretch of I-43, causing overnight lane closures until late summer.
The project extends from just south of Silver Spring Road to Highway 32. It includes resurfacing, which will start in May, as well as lengthening the southbound exit ramp at the Mequon Road Interchange.
Lane closures will take place from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
The Wisconsin DOT is currently conducting a comprehensive study of the I-43 corridor, for which there's a proposal for reconstruction.

Shorewood High School's athletic upgrades have taxpayers seeing red
When an effort launched seven years ago to renovate the football field and outdoor athletic facility at Shorewood High School, the deal was pitched as a win-win.
Parents and students would get fan-friendly, updated playing fields that also could generate revenue by being rented, and the improvements would be financed through private donations, so the district could keep its finances focused on academics.
When private money dried up and the renovation project went over budget, the work continued anyway, leaving taxpayers with the bill, Shorewood School District officials have confirmed.
A new financial review showed that taxpayers shouldered about $800,000 of the total $4.1 million in construction costs.
Separately, Shorewood has turned up another financial oddity: a surplus of about $200,000 in a fund for student fees, which should have only had between $30,000 and $40,000 in it.» Read Full Article
New car dealership proposed in Glendale
Glendale — Three homes and a service station could be demolished to make room for a new Infiniti auto dealership on Green Bay Avenue, just south of the David Hobbs Honda dealership.
International Autos is asking Glendale officials to rezone the lots stretching between 6030 and 6050 Green Bay Avenue to accommodate North Shore Infiniti, which would relocate from its current location about a mile south at 1515 W. Silver Spring Drive.
Under the proposal, a David Hobbs Honda service station and three houses owned by David Hobbs Honda would be demolished to make room for an Infiniti dealership on the two-acre lot.
The old Infiniti dealership would be used as a used car lot by Jack Safro's Lexus North Shore, according to Tom Dexter of International Autos.
International Infiniti is prepared to spend $1.5 million to construct the shell building spanning 17,000 square feet on the first floor and 2,000 square feet on a partial second floor. The dealership plans to spend $400,000 on site improvements, including landscaping to shield the 127 parking stalls from the roadway.» Read Full Article
Bay girls win 10 events to repeat as North Shore indoor track champs
As one of the few seniors on the immensely talented and successful Whitefish Bay girls track team, Sara Coffey realizes what a good thing she's a part of right now.
Because the Blue Dukes built off their titles in their own Lois Wolf Invitational and the WTFA State Indoor last week by claiming an impressive 10 events and repeating as North Shore Conference indoor champions at Milwaukee Lutheran Thursday night.
"It's been really fun," said Coffey, who won both the 1,600 and 3,200-meter races. "We've all been working very hard since the end of the cross country season (last fall). It's so fun to see all this hard work pay off.
"We all ran like crazy last week and we did even better this week."
The Blue Dukes scored 144 points for their title in the eight-team field as a game Homestead team won two events and took second with 115. Germantown was fourth with 59 and Nicolet sixth with 34.» Read Full Article
Fox Point to replace footbridge after years of debate
After years of heated public meetings, the Fox Point Village Board has decided to build a new footbridge on Bridge Lane.
Trustees on Tuesday night accepted the lowest project bid of $876,496, with the understanding that Footbridge Friends, a non-profit group tasked with raising 50 percent of the funds, will contribute $515,000 to the effort.
The board approved the construction bid and contribution guidelines on a 6-1 vote, with Trustee William Werner casting the only vote in opposition
The contribution from Footbridge Friends would make good on a promise from two years ago, when the group offered to pay for half of the bridge construction costs. The group's contribution would also reimburse the village for the $30,000 loan it received from the village to help them launch their fundraising effort.
Footbridge Friends President Barbara Schwartz said the group has $201,313 on hand right now, but expects to have another $50,000 by late spring and another $100,000 by the end of the year. She said she has firm pledges that total $515,000.» Read Full Article
Modern restaurant will anchor Mequon Town Center
A two-story restaurant building with a bold, contemporary design will be built on the northwest corner of Cedarburg and Mequon roads, serving as an iconic landmark building for the Mequon Town Center.
The restaurant building will be one of five buildings in the Town Center development, which will also feature Colectivo Coffee Roasters, a new American Legion post, 40 luxury apartments and a variety of other commercial tenants.
The Mequon Plan Commission approved the building plans for the restaurant building, as well as the other building on the south end of the lot, at its meeting Monday, April 7.
Open for Christmas
Construction will begin on the east and north buildings immediately, and construction on the other three buildings should begin within 90 days, said Blair Williams of Wired Properties. Williams said the restaurant building should begin serving around Christmastime.» Read Full Article
Mequon, Weickardt reach deal on River Club subdivision
Mequon — After a nearly three-year struggle to reach a deal, city officials and River Club of Mequon owner Tom Weickardt have agreed to terms on a more modest subdivision development near the club and along the Milwaukee River.
The Common Council on Tuesday unanimously approved an ordinance that opens the door for a five-home subdivision on 10 acres of the 42-acre lot, and also approved other measures to satisfy neighbors' concerns and keep the riverfront accessible.
Under one resolution approved by the council, the city, Weickardt and neighbors will try to draft easements that cement the neighbors' ability to easily access all parts of the Ville Du Parc area. Another resolution authorizes the city to come to terms on a purchase price for the remaining 148 acres of riverfront land.
Weickardt has fought with the city and neighbors over the subdivision proposal since he bought the River Club in 2011, most recently at a March meeting of the Planning Commission that ended up with a 4-4 gridlock and no recommendation for the council's meeting Tuesday.
Coming forward late last week, the new five-home subdivision plan is a significant reduction to the 19-home plan Weickardt has insisted on since 2011, and was billed by his supporters and city officials alike as a difficult, yet worthy, compromise.» Read Full Article
Bay and Homestead tie for North Shore boys track title
It was a match-up of Whitefish Bay's firepower versus Homestead's depth as the two teams wound up in a dead heat tie in the North Shore Conference Indoor track meet at Cedarburg Tuesday night.
The two teams finished with 111 points apiece as Grafton was third (64-1/2), Germantown fourth (63-1/2) and Nicolet eighth with 28.
Bay was led by Rhashad Gray who won both the high jump (6-2) and the 200-meter dash (23.93 seconds).
Other firsts for the Blue Dukes included George Papajohn in the 800 (2:05.31), the four-lap relay (1:16.79), Ben Wallace in the pole vault (12-6) and Adam Strehlow in the 55 hurdles (8.05). Strehlow's teammate Colin Downing made it one-two in the hurdles when he took second in the 55-meter race in 8.34.
For Homestead, it was a matter of getting second places, as the Highlanders amassed seven runner-up slots en route to tieing for the title.» Read Full Article
Shorewood Metro Market work could start by September
new Metro Market proposed for Shorewood could begin by September, with the two-story, 80,000-square-foot store opening one year later.Demolition work tied to a
That's according to a project time line provided by developer Michael Weiss at Monday's Shorewood Community Development Authority board meeting.
His firm, General Capital Group, wants to build the Metro Market; a four-story, 350-space parking structure, and a six-story apartment building, with around 90 units, its own parking structure and 15,000 square feet of street-level commercial space.
The buildings would be on Oakland Ave., between E. Kenmore Place and E. Olive St., and replace the 30,000-square-foot Pick 'n Save supermarket; the former Walgreens and Harry W. Schwartz Bookshop, and parking lots totaling around 200 spaces.
The Pick 'n Save--which, like Metro Market, is operated by Roundy's Inc.--would close in April 2015 so demolition work could clear it for the apartments and part of the parking structure, Weiss said.» Read Full Article
Nines in Mequon switches from small plates to steaks under a new format
Small plates are out and steaks are in at Nines, the restaurant at the River Club in Mequon, which recently tweaked its name and changed its menu.
It's now called Nines American Bistro, and more traditional full-size entrées have replaced the small-plates format. The new dishes include an 8-ounce filet mignon ($39), 14-ounce dry-aged Angus New York strip steak ($52), miso-glazed tuna with black rice ($32) and a half roast chicken ($19).
The dining room's decor has changed — darker walls and sconces added, tablecloths replacing the placemats — and there's a new chef: Scott Klenke. The emphasis on wine (photo above) remains the same.
Nines is at 12400 N. Ville du Parc Drive. You can see the full menu online.

A simulation is not enough, you have to interpret the results correctly. He probably did something like I did.
That is true. I wonder where his simulation went wrong.
35% is much too high just by inspection.
We'll have to see what he did.
I think his answer is way too high.
Ok. So, that answer is final? Then, we have to see how Agnishom did it.
Yes I know, I am still cleaning it up in my notes and I cleaned the post.
Your code still isn't correct. Leaving from three is #[[3]]=1 not Last[#]3!
The same answer I had originally by accident.
Well, there you have it. What is the new result?
Hmmmm, hard to argue with that one. By golly I think you are right. I did not look at it that way.
That means that P(entered at 1|left at 3)=P(entered at 1 and left at 3)/P(left at 3).
Yes, that is the definition.
And, do you agree that P(A|B)=P(A and B)/P(B)?
Yes, that looks good.

Push-Up Bras are designed to lift your breasts and enhance your cleavage. This type of underwire bra is surely one of the sexiest styles available. Many push-up bras have graduated push-up padding in each cup to increase the size of your breasts; the graduated padding creates a much more natural look. Other styles feature small pockets inside each cup that hold removable padded foam inserts (aka chicken cutlets). Last but not least, some push-ups featured liquid filled pads, which offer a very natural look and feel. Sometimes the padding within these bras will enhance your breasts so much that they will appear to be a full cup size larger. Certain t-shirt bras, strapless bras, convertible bras and balconette plunge bras can also be classified as push-ups; these styles feature the typical push-up padding. Usually push-ups are designed to be pretty with floral lace and embroideries. However they can be constructed of stretch nylons and microfibers, which are excellent if you seek a seamless style with lots of lift. Brands like Wacoal, Freya, Elomi, Felina, DKNY, Calvin Klein, Freya, Barely There, Maidenform, Bali and Wonderbra are just a few brands that offer push-up bras for the A cup to GG cup gal. Whether you need a push-up bra for 5 minute wear or a classic, functional push-up bra for underneath your favorite v-neck tee, Bare Necessities has a phenomenal assortment for you.

Mexican fast-food chain serves up authentic citrus-marinated chicken and a variety of burritos and pollo bowls. – In Short
This restaurant's first roadside chicken stand opened up in Guasave, Mexico in 1975. A family-inspired recipe of chicken marinated in herbs, spices and citrus juices was an overnight success and the Mexican chain opened its first American location in Los Angeles in 1980. Ever since, customers have been devouring the house specialty--zesty flame-grilled chicken served with tortillas and fresh salsa. Other menu options include pollo bowls (rice and chicken), salads and quesadillas.

ldap_bind — Bind to LDAP directory
[, string
$bind_rdn =
[, string
$bind_password =

Binds to the LDAP directory with specified RDN and password.
An LDAP link identifier, returned by ldap_connect().
bind_rdn and
are not specified, an anonymous bind is attempted.
TRUE em caso de sucesso ou
FALSE em caso de falha.
Exemplo #1 Using LDAP Bind

// binding to ldap server
$ldapbind = ldap_bind($ldapconn, $ldaprdn, $ldappass);
// verify binding
if ($ldapbind) {
echo "LDAP bind successful...";

Interesting point,
if you can't bind to active directory with the error "49: Invalid Credentials", you can get the extended error output from the ldap_get_option function, using the option: LDAP_OPT_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE. Unfortunately php hasn't defined this by default, but it's value is 0x0032.
This is useful if a user must change their password at first login (Data: 773), or if their account has expired on the network (Data: 532).
define(LDAP_OPT_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE, 0x0032)
$handle = ldap_connect('ldap://active.directory.server/');
$bind = ldap_bind($handle, 'user', 'expiredpass');
if ($bind) {
if (ldap_get_option($handle, LDAP_OPT_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE, $extended_error)) {
echo "Error Binding to LDAP: $extended_error";
} else {
echo "Error Binding to LDAP: No additional information is available.";
Or something to that effect..
It took me a while to work this one out, so i figured i'd share my results..
After a lot of trail and error i've found the way to authenticate to apple's Opendirectory (snow leopard server) and thought it maybe useful to share.
// using ldap bind
$ldaprdn = 'uid=USERNAME,cn=users,dc=HOSTNAME,dc=DOMAIN,dc=com'; // ldap rdn or dn
$ldappass = 'PASSWORD'; // associated password
// connect to ldap server
$ldapconn = ldap_connect("HOSTNAME.DOMAIN.com")
or die("Could not connect to LDAP server.");
// Set some ldap options for talking to
ldap_set_option($ldapconn, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
ldap_set_option($ldapconn, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, 0);
if ($ldapconn) {
// binding to ldap server
$ldapbind = @ldap_bind($ldapconn, $ldaprdn, $ldappass);
// verify binding
if ($ldapbind) {
echo "LDAP bind successful...\n";
} else {
echo "LDAP bind failed...\n";
As "john dot lewis at waldenweb dot com" correctly writes (and this is important to note and SHOULD be incorporated into the documentation as a warning - trying to bind with specific username and empty password will return TRUE.
If you're using SSL (e.g. ldaps) and ldap_bind is throwing 'Unable to bind to server:' errors, check that the hostname used in the ldap_connect matches the 'CN' in the SSL certificate on the LDAP server. For example:
// 'ldap01' should match the CN in your LDAP server's SSL cert, otherwise the subsequent ldap_bind() will throw a bind error
You can check your LDAP server's SSL cert using Openssl utility (Linux) - look for the 'Subject' line:
$ openssl x509 -in /etc/pki/tls/certs/ldap01.crt -text -noout
Subject: C=XY, ST=My State, L=My City, O=My Org, firstname.lastname@example.com
I recently applied some updates to my system (now Centos 5.7 and PHP 5.3.6) and started having this issue with PHP scripts that had been fine previously where I was simply using the IP address of the server. Replacing the IP address with the hostname fixed my issue.
I couldn't get ldap_bind to work on an ldaps connection until I followed some instructions about creating an ldap.conf file. I don't see these instructions anywhere on the php site. Maybe they're on the OpenLDAP site, but I thought it would be useful to have here as well. Credit goes to a dude known as 'LRM', and I found my solution here: http://lists.horde.org/archives/sork/Week-of-Mon-20040503/001578.html

1. create C:\OpenLDAP\sysconf\ldap.conf (Yes, it MUST be this path because it's hard-coded in the dll)
2. put this line at the top:
TLS_REQCERT never
3. Save, stop/start apache.
The reason is, I think, because it doesn't understand the certificate, so this directive tells it to not bother checking it. I guess that could be unsafe in some cases, but in my case I'm confident with the server I'm connecting to.
My connection code was as follows (nothing new here, I don't think):
$con = @ldap_connect('ldaps://the.ldap.server', 636);
ldap_set_option($con, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
ldap_set_option($con, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, 0);
var_dump(@ldap_bind($con, 'firstname.lastname@example.com', 'password'));
Good luck! LDAPS can be a real bitch.
When using LDAP with SSL and a LDAP server which uses a self-signed SSL certificate normally no connection will be established. Therefor you have to allow such connections explicitly.
With Linux (e.g. Debian, Ubuntu) you have to add "TLS_REQCERT never" to your /etc/ldap/ldap.conf. On other distributions this config file may be located somewhere else.
Getting an error "Can't contact LDAP server"
Solved by adding:
TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/cacerts
TLS_CACERT /etc/openldap/ssl/cacert.pem
A number of examples and implementations of authentication schemes which use LDAP simple binds to authenticate users fail to properly sanitize user-submitted data. This can allow for an anonymous user to authenticate to a web-based application as an existing user. Provided below is a brief description and example of how this vulnerability can arise. For more detailed information please visit the links at the bottom of this posting.
The bind operation of LDAP, as described in RFC 4513, provides a method which allows for authentication of users. For the Simple Authentication Method a user may use the anonymous authentication mechanism, the unauthenticated authentication mechanism, or the name/password authentication mechanism. The unauthenticated authentication mechanism is used when a client who desires to establish an anonymous authorization state passes a non-zero length distinguished name and a zero length password. Most LDAP servers either can be configured to allow this mechanism or allow it by default. Web-based applications which perform the simple bind operation with the client's credentials are at risk when an anonymous authorization state is established. This can occur when the web-based application passes a distinguished name and a zero length password to the LDAP server.
This is commonly encountered when no password is provided from the client to the web-based application. This situation is described in some of the postings found below. For this situation, the recommendations found in other postings is sufficient to prevent authentication bypass.
However, no prior postings at php.net describe a situation in which a client may pass a distinguished username and a password of non-zero length to the web-based application which results in an anonymous authorization state. Below is an example of this situation.
if (empty($dn) or empty($pass)) { exit(); } //check for empty strings
//if (preg_match('/[^a-zA-Z]/',$dn) or preg_match('/[^a-zA-Z0-9\x20!@#$%^&*()]/',$pass)) { exit(); } //check for expected values (whitelisting)
//if (preg_match('/\x00/',$dn) or preg_match('/\x00/',$pass)) { exit(); } //check for null byte (blacklisting)
$ldapconn=ldap_connect("192.0.2.2") or die("Could not connect to LDAP server.");
if ($ldapconn) {
ldap_set_option($ldapconn, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
$ldapbind=ldap_bind($ldapconn, $dn, $pass);
if ($ldapbind) {
} else {
had to do a bunch of research on this, but it does work, once config'd correctly.
using Apache/2.2.3 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8b
PHP PHP Version 5.1.5-dev
ldap_bind was getting "81 Can't contact LDAP server" which was really annoying, since the connection worked fine without "ldaps"
$ldapconnect = @ldap_connect( $connection_string );
well, actually the bind was really the one failing...
$bind = ldap_bind($ldapconnect, $client, $this->objSecurityLogin->Password);
many attempts to determine until i smartened up and turned on the trace level:
ldap_set_option(NULL, LDAP_OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL, 7);
which must go before the connect!
found that on windows, you can't specifiy a quote in the ldap.conf:
i had:
TLS_REQCERT never
TLS_CACERT "C:\\Documents\\Tools\\Apache2\\conf\\ssl\\ad.pem"
which throws the error..
TLS: could not load verify locations (file:`"C:\Documents\Tools\Apache2\conf\ssl\ad.pem"',dir:`').
TLS: error:0200107B:system library:fopen:Unknown error .\crypto\bio\bss_file.c:122
TLS: error:2006D002:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:system lib .\crypto\bio\bss_file.c:127
TLS: error:0B084002:x509 certificate routines:X509_load_cert_crl_file:system lib .\crypto\x509\by_file.c:274
changed to:
TLS_REQCERT never
TLS_CACERT C:\\Documents\\Tools\\Apache2\\conf\\ssl\\ad.pem
which cleans it up as:
TLS trace: SSL_connect:before/connect initialization
TLS trace: SSL_connect:SSLv2/v3 write client hello A
TLS trace: SSL_connect:SSLv3 read server hello A
TLS certificate verification: depth: 1, err: 0, subject: /DC=xxx/DC=yyy/CN=zzzz, issuer: /DC=abab/DC=yyy/CN=zzzz
TLS certificate verification: depth: 0, err: 0, subject: ......
so the moral to the story is even though PHP wants quotes in some windows config parms, it won't work if its in ldap.conf!
You should NOT attempt to bind with a made up password. However small the chance, the chance remains that your code produces a valid password. The correct behaviour is to test for an empty password, and if your application will only service authenticated users, not perform any more LDAP operations on behalf of the user - this also happens to be more efficient.
It's nessesary to add:
ldap_set_option($ds, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3)
for ldap_bind returned true, while you try to bind for openldap (at least version 2.4.21)
I had a problem doing a ldap_bind over SSL against Active Directory. The server kept telling me: 'Unable to bind to server:'. To solve this (OS: CentOS 6) make sure that /etc/openldap/ldap.conf has this line:
TLS_REQCERT allow
LDAP control support is missing from this implementation. Response controls might be part of the response(s) to the BIND request and must be handled in code.
If you are still having trouble after following all the instructions on the Web to get LDAPS to work, here's what worked for me:
I was trying to do LDAPS connection (our LDAP server was using port 40636) by running following command:
This didn't work for days till I changed it to the following format:
Hope it'll help some out there.
I'm using OpenLDAP on linux and found out the right bind sequence the hard way... so I'm sharing it with you:
(wkaiser solution is ok if everything works fine, but for development I would suggest using ldap_error command like this)
$ldapconfig['host'] = '10.10.10.10';
$ldapconfig['port'] = NULL;
$ldapconfig['basedn'] = 'dc=company,dc=com';
$ds=ldap_connect($ldapconfig['host'], $ldapconfig['port']);
if ($bind=ldap_bind($ds, $dn, $password)) {
echo("Login correct");
} else {
echo("Unable to bind to server.
");
echo("msg:'".ldap_error($ds)."'
");#check if the message isn't: Can't contact LDAP server :)
#if it say something about a cn or user then you are trying with the wrong $dn pattern i found this by looking at OpenLDAP source code :)
#we can figure out the right pattern by searching the user tree
#remember to turn on the anonymous search on the ldap server
if ($bind=ldap_bind($ds)) {
$filter = "(cn=*)";
if (!($search=@ldap_search($ds, $ldapconfig['basedn'], $filter))) {
echo("Unable to search ldap server
");
echo("msg:'".ldap_error($ds)."'
");#check the message again
} else {
$number_returned = ldap_count_entries($ds,$search);
$info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $search);
echo "The number of entries returned is ". $number_returned."
";
for ($i=0; $i<$info["count"]; $i++) {
var_dump($info[$i]);#look for your user account in this pile of junk and apply the whole pattern where you build $dn to match exactly the ldap tree entry
} else {
echo("Unable to bind anonymously
");
as you can see most of the examples use "cn=username" and OpenLDAP uses "uid=username" but who knows what will be used in the future builds, this code will help you check it out (I hope :)
I tried using putenv() to point LDAP to the certificate path etc.
This did not work for me. It has to be in the Apache configuration or LDAP configuration:
Put these values in ldap.conf:
TLS_CACERT /path/to/certificate
TLS_REQCERT never
The path varies on UNIX systems.
On Windows it is C:\openldap\sysconf\ldap.conf
Add these values to httpd.conf:
LDAPTrustedGlobalCert <encryption method> /path/to/certificate
LDAPVerifyServerCert Off
The encryption method I was using was 'CA_BASE64'. Check the encryption method with your LDAP/AD sysadmin.
Just a quick and easy function to authenticate against an AD domain controller:
function ad_auth( $server, $username, $password ){
$ldap = @ldap_connect( $server );
if ( @ldap_bind( $ldap, $username, $password ) ){
ldap_unbind( $ldap );
return 1;
return 0;
Active Directory doesn't accept anonymous requests anymore.
With Windows Server 2003, only authenticated users may initiate an LDAP request against Windows Server 2003-based domain controllers. You can override this new default behavior by changing the seventh character of the dsHeuristics attribute on the DN path as follows:
CN=Directory Service,CN=Windows NT,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,Root domain in forest
from: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326690
Hi All, I just thought people should realize that the bug, or whatever change that was implemented with slapd and Openldap for the version V3 protocol has either not been repaired, or isn;t believed to be a bug or whatever...but still requires an implicit setting to V3 for use of the ldap_bind function. I am using Apache 2 and PHP 5.1 with LDAP 2. The default is set to deny V2 protocol, and even reconfiguring the slapd config file will not fix the problem.
You must still use the ldap_set_option function.
$ldapHost = "ldap://server";
$ldapPort = "port";
$ldapUser ="cn=name,dc=domain";
$ldapPswd ="password";
$ldapLink =ldap_connect($ldapHost, $ldapPort)
or die("Can't establish LDAP connection");
if (ldap_set_option($ldapLink,LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION,3))
echo "Using LDAP v3";
echo "Failed to set version to protocol 3";
or die("Can't bind to server.");
Thanks to Ken on below for showing the way. There was a slight code error in what he chose as his link_id, but thats all. This code above worked nice and shinny, and demonstrates we are still working with 2004 problems. I wish they would update this in the code above.
It seems that Active Directory stores information in UTF8 format.
I needed to utf8_encode() the username and password otherwise the bind failed when a user has accented characters in his password...
The OpenLDAP libraries will return error 53 (Server unwilling to perform) when trying to re-bind to a non-anonymous account if you accidentally leave the password field blank. If you want to authenticate against a different field than the dn, you have to bind to the server twice. Your code may look like the following:
function ldapLogin($uname, $pass, $base_dn, $fname, $server, $port){
$ldc=@ldap_connect($server, $port);
if (!$ldc) return ERROR_CODE;
$lbind=@ldap_bind($ldc, $bn, $pw);
if (!$lbind) return ERROR_CODE;
$ureturn=@ldap_search($ldc, $base_dn, "($fname=$uname)", array('dn', 'givenName', 'sn', 'mail'));
$uent=@ldap_first_entry($ldc, $ureturn);
if (!$uent) return ERROR_CODE;
$bn=@ldap_get_dn($ldc, $uent);
//This line should use $pass rather than $password
$lbind=@ldap_bind($ldc, $bn, $password);
// Now you can find the error
echo ldap_error($ltc);
if ($lbind) return true; else return false;
Hope this helps someone else running in to the same error.
Example of connecting and searching AD
$con = ldap_connect('ad.domain.com');
ldap_set_option($con, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
ldap_set_option($con, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, 0);
ldap_bind($con, 'email@example.com', 'clear password');
ldap_search($con, 'DC=domain,DC=com', '(uniqueMember=user)');
Note that you have to specify the protocol version prior to making a call to ldap_bind, when the server is expecting LDAP protocol version 3. If you do not, you will receive a warning and fail to bind, such as:
ldap_bind(): Unable to bind to server: Protocol error
In order to avoid this, make this call:
ldap_set_option($ds, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
Where $ds is the result returned by ldap_connect(...);
I ran into an issue trying to bind as "cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com". I took the example kenn posted where he set LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION to "3" for the connection. Once I set this, I was able to bind with my manager id.
It doesn't make much sense to let die() the script in case of an error, otherwise to ask if there were no errors before proceeding the script, as the official examples do.
ldap_bind(...) or die(...);
or even better (die() is quick but dirty)
if (!ldap_bind(...)) {
} else {
This code sample shows how to connect and bind to eDirectory in PHP using LDAP for Netware.
$ds=ldap_connect($server); // assuming the LDAP server is on this host
if ($ds) {
// bind with appropriate dn to give update access
$r=ldap_bind($ds, $admin, $passwd);
if(!$r) die("ldap_bind failed
");
echo "ldap_bind success";
} else {
echo "Unable to connect to LDAP server";
When using Active Directory 2003 (possibly also 2000) you can't search anonymously so you have to bind with a (known) user and password. Or else you will get an Search operations error. I also can confirm that an empty password bind succeeds! So test for an empty password first!
Some excellent information is found here:
This may be a security issue but after tinkering for hours with the below ldap auth function (edi01 at gmx dot at), I discovered that the ldap_bind function will return true if you enter a valid username AND a NULL value!
so if that function were to receive something like $username = 'someuser' and $password = '', it would return true. As long as it isn't a null value the function will work as expected. Might as well check if it is null or empty then.
I was trying this all day and final noticed that when you use bind and authenticate. The user name needs to be as follows for it to work. I am using PHP V 4.03 so this might be different now but here is what I used and the auth worked.
$ldaphost = "ldap.what.at.greatnet.com";
$ldapport = 389;
$ds = ldap_connect($ldaphost, $ldapport)
or die("Could not connect to $ldaphost");
if ($ds)
$username = "email@example.com";
$upasswd = "pass";
$ldapbind = ldap_bind($ds, $username, $upasswd);
if ($ldapbind)
{print "Congratulations! $username is authenticated.";}
{print "Nice try, kid. Better luck next time!";}
complete ldap authentication script:
function checkldapuser($username,$password,$ldap_server){
if($connect=@ldap_connect($ldap_server)){ // if connected to ldap server
if (ldap_set_option($connect, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3)) {
echo "version 3
\n";
} else {
echo "version 2
\n";
echo "verification on '$ldap_server': ";
// bind to ldap connection
if(($bind=@ldap_bind($connect)) == false){
print "bind:__FAILED__
\n";
return false;
// search for user
if (($res_id = ldap_search( $connect,
"uid=$username")) == false) {
print "failure: search in LDAP-tree failed
";
return false;
if (ldap_count_entries($connect, $res_id) != 1) {
print "failure: username $username found more than once
\n";
return false;
if (( $entry_id = ldap_first_entry($connect, $res_id))== false) {
print "failur: entry of searchresult couln't be fetched
\n";
return false;
if (( $user_dn = ldap_get_dn($connect, $entry_id)) == false) {
print "failure: user-dn coulnd't be fetched
\n";
return false;
/* Authentifizierung des User */
if (($link_id = ldap_bind($connect, $user_dn, $password)) == false) {
print "failure: username, password didn't match: $user_dn
\n";
return false;
return true;
} else { // no conection to ldap server
echo "no connection to '$ldap_server'
\n";
echo "failed: ".ldap_error($connect)."
\n";
}//end function checkldapuser
Here a sample for using this function:
if (checkldapuser('myuser', 'secretpassword', 'ldap://link.to.ldap')) {
echo "ACCESS GRANTED\n";
} else {
echo "ACCESS DENIED\n";
I am assuming that ldap_bind does a simple bind and that for other
types of bind, ldap_sasl_bind should be used.
Also, while the allow bind v2 solution will work with slapd, you really should
use ldap v3 if at all possible because of the security improvements and
better protocol definition. LDAP v2 is largely deprecated at this point.
Hopefully the PHP default LDAP version will move to v3 soon.
As noted before with the password, I have found that if either of the valuse for user or password are blank, or as in my case a typo resulted in a blank user as it was an undefined variable, the ldap_bind() will just perform an anonymous bind and return true!
Shouldn't this detect the presence of the additional values and return an error? At least if the user or password is passed. If they are both blank I'm not sure what it should do.
If you do not want to bind as unixadmin or *manager (i. e., for authentication on web applications), the following code could be useful:
$ldaphost = "ldap.yourdomain.com";
/*for a SSL secured ldap_connect()
$ldaphost = "ldap.yourdomain.com"; */
$ldapport = 389;
$ds = ldap_connect($ldaphost, $ldapport)
or die("Could not connect to $ldaphost");
if ($ds) {
$username = "some_user";
$upasswd = "secret";
$binddn = "uid=$username,ou=people,dc=yourdomain,dc=com";
$ldapbind = ldap_bind($ds, $binddn, $upasswd);
if ($ldapbind) {
print "Congratulations! $some_user is authenticated.";}
else {
print "Nice try, kid. Better luck next time!";}}
I want to point out that the line that reads
"$ldaprdn = 'uname';"
is a bit confusing. You need to ensure that you use the entire rootdn. for instance. your code should look more like this...
// using ldap bind *** NOTE the uname *****
$ldaprdn = 'cn=root,dc=testserver,dc=com'; // ldap rdn or dn
$ldappass = 'secret'; // associated password
// connect to ldap server
$ldapconn = ldap_connect("ldap.testserver.com")
or die("Could not connect to LDAP server.");
if (ldap_set_option($ds, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3)) {
echo "Using LDAPv3";
} else {
echo "Failed to set protocol version to 3";
if ($ldapconn) {
// binding to ldap server
$ldapbind = ldap_bind($ldapconn, $ldaprdn, $ldappass);
// verify binding
if ($ldapbind) {
echo "LDAP bind successful...";
} else {
echo "LDAP bind failed...";
OpenLdap 2.1.x libraries support both LDAPv2 and LDAPv3. The problem lies with the slapd, the ldap server bundled with OpenLDAP. It's default supported version is LDAPv3. One can set the "allow bind_v2" in the slapd.conf file, with this configured, the PHP ldap_set_option() is not required.
I ran into a problem where I was getting a protocol error when I tried to bind. I was able to connect fine and ldap commands worked fine from the command line.
The problem turned out to be that openldap (v 2.1.5) was starting up in version 3 ldap mode, and php (4.2.3) expected it to be in version 2 mode.
To fix this use the ldap_set_option command to change the version that php expects.
One useful item when trying to bind to Novell's NDS LDAP servers.
If you are using NDS 8 and attempt to bind it will work with a partail context.
As an example if you full context is cn=user.ou=sales.ou=division.o=company
and you use as your authentication context cn=user.o=company it will work.
But you will be required to supply the full context to authenticate to an eDirectory based LDAP setup. Such as Netware 6 or eDirectory 8.5 or greater.
Also when using the wildcard * symbol in your object class. If you are not careful it is possible to dump the entire contents of your NDS tree into an array.
An example to help you authenticate against M$ Exchange, rather than use anonymous mode...
you will need to create an NT domain member (I've called it ldapquery) and give it search permission in the LDAP protocol settings in Exchange.
$ds=ldap_connect ("<exchange server>");
$r=@ldap_bind($ds,"cn=ldapquery, o=<your organisation>, c=<your country>, ","<the password for ldapquery account>");
we've tested this on Exchange 5.5SP3.

The Philosophy Department at the University of St. Thomas believes that exposure to the tradition of philosophy is essential to a liberal education, an education appropriate for a person free from the demands of constant labor and free to pursue activities that have provided humans in all ages and cultures with deep and lasting satisfaction.
The department offers two courses that are part of the University's core of required courses. The first introduces students to basic tools of logic and to philosophical perspectives on human nature and personhood; the second introduces them to philosophical principles that underlie moral responsibility and to ways in which these principles apply to problems of the contemporary world.
