phpLDAPadmin
phpLDAPadmin is a web based LDAP data management tool for system administrators. It is commonly known and referred by many as "PLA".
PLA is designed to be compliant with LDAP RFCs, enabling it to be used with any LDAP server. If you come across an LDAP server, where PLA exhibits problems, please open an issue with full details of the problem so that we can have it fixed.
For up to date information on PLA, please head to the wiki.
Note
PLA v2 is a complete rewrite of PLA.
PLA v1.2 was written well over 10 years ago for PHP 5, and over time has been patched to work with later versions of PHP. There are logged vulnerabilities with v1.2 that have not been addressed.
Not all PLA v1.2 functionality has been included in v2 (yet) - see below for details
The release of PHP v2 officially deprecates v1.2, which is no longer supported or enhanced/fixed. It is recommended to upgrade to v2.
Demo
If you havent seen PLA in action, you can head here to the demo site.
Running PLA
PLA v2 is now available as a docker container. You can also download the code and install it yourself on your PHP server, or even build your own docker container.
Take a look at the Docker Container page for more details.
If you come across any bugs/issues, it would be helpful if you could reproduce those issues using the docker container (or the demo website). This should help confirm that there isnt a site related issue with the issue you are having.
Open an issue (details below) with enough information for me to be able to recreate the problem. An
LDIFwill be invaluable if it is not handling data correctly.

If there is an LDAP server that you have that you would like to have supported, please open an issue to request it. You might need to provide access, provide a copy or instructions to get an environment for testing. If you have enabled support for an LDAP server not listed above, please provide a pull request for consideration.
Getting Help
The best place to get help with PLA (new and old) is on Stack Overflow.
Found a bug?
If you have found a bug, and can provide detailed instructions so that it can be reproduced, please open an issue and provide those details.
Before opening a ticket, please check to see if it hasnt already been reported, and if it has, please provide any additional information that will help it be fixed.
TIP: Issues opened with:
- details enabling the problem to be reproduced,
- including (if appropriate) an LDIF with the data that exhibits the problem,
- a patch (or a git pull request) to fix the problem
will be looked at first :)
