Topic on Extension talk:Lockdown

-- Originally posted by 79.104.211.130 --

I should apologize because the only reason my problem appeared resolved after I installed REL1_27 was that I had Lockdown extension commented out in LocalSettings.

So, today I tested it again and preview did not work. Namely, request to /w/api.php with this POST data:

action:parse

format:json

formatversion:2

title:<Title here>

text:<Content here>

pst:

prop:text|modules|jsconfigvars

preview:true

disableeditsection:true

uselang:ru

fails with the following response: {"error":{"code":"readapidenied","info":"You need read permission to use this module","docref":"See http://doc.ifcg.ru/w/api.php for API usage"}}

Non-default part of my LocalSettings follows:

Hope this will help.

Same problem here.

I use REL-1.27 (0d8aa13) with a private wiki (access only for logged in users).

On API access I get the message "readapidenied".

The problem is, that checkExecutePermissions() in ApiMain.php has $user->isAllowed( 'read' ) unset, which results in the above error.

But I have no idea, what I have to do to get this set here.

Cannot this be overcome by assigning the bot to a usergroup which is allowed to edit? If not an issue report should be created at Phabricator and linked back and forth to this thread.

I guess this is now tracked with task T148582.

I replaced the ApiParse.php file with the newest code from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/master/includes/api/ApiParse.php

And it does not work too.

Thanks for doing a field test. The issue reports are linked. To make developers aware which do not necessarily see these threads here ... ;)

Saying to that using Lockdown causes 'writeapidenied' You're not allowed to edit this wiki through the API error. So in MW 1.27 VisualEditor extension can`t save page edition.

As a matter of fact the MultimediaViewer extension also exits with readapidenied for MW 1.27.1

This is still an issue with latest code on REL1_27. Thus I have adjusted task T148582 accordingly. Let's hope for a quick fix.

There seems to be progress on this front. A backport of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/303369/ will hopefully fix the issues on REL1_27 once and for all. Keeping fingers crossed.

Great, now that T148582 will be resolved by doing a backport to MediaWiki core with change 325566 all we have to do is wait for the MW 1.27.2 release.

I have having this same problem and I am using 1.27.2 and the latest REL1_27

I only get this for the second action the api tries to perform so effectively bulk uploads do not work. Moreover I am the only clown here actually making people aware on Phabricator so that's probably why nothing gets moving.

Hi, I came across this issue and decided to upgrade to 1.27.3. We still seem to be encountering the issue with MsUpload. Without lockdown, logged in users can upload files fine using MsUpload. Once Lockdown is enabled, I receive the "permission denied" error, regardless of role. Is there a setting I am missing or is this still an ongoing bug? Thanks!

It is indeed an ongoing bug with nobody dealing with it. MsUpload can according to my testing only upload one file at a time, which indeed makes it pretty much useless.

Hi, any news about this issue? Is there any chance to solve it if I upgrade to 1.28?

Thanks,

Lorenzo

If it is broken with 1.27 it will also be broken with 1.28 and later. Apart from that any news. It seems to be not important since hardly anybody joins the conversion on task T148582.

Ok, thanks for the information. Is there anhything to do to press to solve the issue? On wikiapiary this extension results to be used by 504 wikis...they don't seem few to me!

Bye,

Lorenzo

Perhaps it is just a matter of telling on phabricator that you have the same issue. Also noting the usage my be an argument to bring forward, too. That's 504 wikis not even counting private wikis. From my experience the ratio is 50% to 50%.

If I am the only one voicing concerns and requests ...

If $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;

For Anonymous users access for api denied. It makes problem for MultimediaViewer extension for this users.

To solve this problem you can use (in LocalSettings.php):

$wgMediaViewerUseThumbnailGuessing = true;

(maybe $wgMediaViewerIsInBeta = true; needed.)
