LDAP Newbie, need Resources

[Axman]

I've put together a website for my school using Drupal, which is great, if you're looking for a portal it's simply fantastic. Also, with some exceptions, it runs on IIS phenomenally well with an easy, easy install. In fact, it was easier to set up on IIS than Darwin/Apache (hey, you work with what's at hand), though some modules (only Event, a calendar module hasn't for me) may not work exactly right.

Anyway, that's not the point. I would like to authenticate users for webby junk through the Active Directory but I know very little about LDAP. If anyone here has any favorite references, either web or text, I'd like to hear about them.

I use PHP to do it.
