The LdapAuth extension allows for an instance to be configured to authenticate against one or many LDAP servers and domains. The extension is built for MediaWiki v1.27 or greater, as it utilizes the new extension and authentication framework.

Installation

  • Download and place the file(s) in a directory called LdapAuth in your extensions/ folder.
  • Only when installing from Git, run Composer to install PHP dependencies, by issuing composer install --no-dev in the extension directory. (See task T173141 for potential complications.)
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    wfLoadExtension( 'LdapAuth' );
    $wgLdapAuthDomainNames = 'EXAMPLE';
    $wgLdapAuthServers = 'SERVER_1, SERVER_2';
    $wgLdapAuthBindDN = 'bind_dn@EXAMPLE';
    $wgLdapAuthBindPass = 'MyPassword';
