Installation

edit

Execute within MediaWiki root or add mediawiki/ldap-sync-all to the composer.json file of your projectː

composer require mediawiki/ldap-sync-all dev-REL1_31

Activation

edit

Add the following line to your LocalSettings.phpː

wfLoadExtension( 'LDAPSyncAll' );

Usage

edit

The extension provides a maintenance script that you can simply run from your console PHP maintenance/SyncLDAPUsers.php. In addition, there is a RunJobsTriggerHandler that runs once a day.

Configuration

edit

You need to add the following line in your LocalSettings.php. Don't forget to change "Admin" to the username who has admin permissions. This user disables accounts that are not in LDAP.

$GLOBALS['LDAPSyncAllBlockExecutorUsername'] = 'Admin';

You can specify usernames and usergroups that you want to exclude from disabling, for example:

$GLOBALS['LDAPSyncAllExcludedUsernames'] = [ 'Bob', 'Emily' ];

$GLOBALS['LDAPSyncAllExcludedGroups'] = [ 'bot', 'editor' ];
