On remote windows I am executing some commands in php, I need to validate windows credentials before actually execute commands. If credentials are invalid system should display error message without attempting to execute command.

Currently I am validating credentials like this

$check=shell_exec("wmic /NODE:\"$ip\" /USER:\"$id\" /password:\"$passwords\" os get caption,CSDVersion 2>&1  ");

if(strpos($check, 'denied') != false){return "Invalid_credentials";}

It is fulfilling my needs but I need a better way. Kindly help.

Note: I can't use ldap because it is not implemented.

In case of validating against an Active Directory you could use LDAP. – Daan Apr 03 '17 at 18:18
If the current method is fulfilling needs, how would you quantify "better"? – castis Apr 03 '17 at 18:18

PHP LDAP would be the best solution. Also you can try with Pear::Auth package but it's currently unmaintainded – F.Igor Apr 03 '17 at 18:22
Generally speaking, there are no good ways of doing things when it comes to dealing with proprietary OS or Closed source tools. – Dimi Apr 03 '17 at 18:26
@Dimi yes that is the issue with proprietary OS, in Linux I am simply achieving it via ssh2_auth_password. – Salman Raza Apr 03 '17 at 18:30
LDAP is not implemented. – Salman Raza Apr 03 '17 at 18:36
