PHP now defines its own ldap_escape function. This hotfix renames our function to avoid a naming conflict.
Seems php 5.6 has a built in function called ldap_escape, which was breaking the client authentication.
My workaround was to rename the function in the code.
All usage is confined to the source file cns_ldap.php. So I made a backup then edited the file and change all instances of:
ldap_escape
to
cns_ldap_escape
That Sorted out the issue and all is working fine.
Thanks for the files will update
