Topic on Extension talk:LDAPAuthorization/Archive 1

@Cindy.cicalese, What do we need to set for $wgPluggableAuth_Class for the Extension:PluggableAuth?

You need to set it to the name of the authentication plugin that you are using with PluggableAuth (e.g. OpenIDConnect, SimpleSAMLphp, or PluggableSSO). Note that LDAP Authorization is an authorization plugin to PluggableAuth, not an authentication plugin. PluggableAuth requires exactly one authentication plugin and zero or more authorization plugins.

Cindy.cicalese, got it. I expected that this extension is the replacement of LDAP Authentication. But it is obviously not. As i understand there is currently no way to use LDAP for authentication on a MW 1.28 or is there?

Not currently, but there is a group that began work at the recent Hackathon to reimplement LDAP Authentication, most likely on top of PluggableAuth.

Hi is there any news on the LDAP Authentication with MW 1.29? Thanks

Yes, @Osnard is actively working on this.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll get in touch with him.

Hello,

any news about reimplement LDAP Authentication? I see some information on the @Osnard page, but nothing about a new working way use a LDAP autnehtication method. Thanks!

I've been working with @Osnard on the LDAP extensions and have gotten them to the point where they work for authentication and group management.

I've published a cookbook for this that I would love to get feedback on.
