Topic on Extension talk:LDAP Authentication

I'm currently on MediaWiki 1.32.2 and using the LDAP Authentication extension version REL1_32-e2cab88 - everything works fine.

I have a pretty simple setup - connection to one Active Directory server using ssl, restricting users that are able to login to a certain AD group.

As of 7/3/19 the current stable MediaWiki version is now 1.33.

I tried to upgrade and use the LDAP Authentication extension version REL1_33-d82149e with the same ldap settings that were working on 1.32 and REL1_32-e2cab88, but it does not work.

The version REL1_33-d82149e has some accommodations for the new mediawiki version - the update.php script runs without errors.

But it seems like the extension is completely ignored by mediawiki - users can login using the local user credentials, but the login does not work with login credentials from Active Directory.

The logs are also missing despite using $wgLDAPDebug, $wgDebugLogGroups configuration variables.

My guess is that this is caused by the removal of the $wgAuth variable (as stated in the release notes for mediawiki 1.33).

The newer configuration variables for authentication purposes are now $wgAuthManagerAutoConfig or $wgAuthManagerConfig.

The problem is that i don't know how to configure these variables or if they are supported by the LDAP Authentication extension at all.

The configuration examples are still using the old variable $wgAuth.

Did someone figure out how to configure this extension to work with MediaWiki 1.33 and can help out?

Could you look at the LDAP hub. It says it is in draft, but people have successfully been using those new extensions for a while now.

I can confirm this issue. I've got freshly installed 1.33 mediawiki and LDAP_Authentication extension is not working at all. There is no errors from update.php script and I've tried different configuration options in LocalSettings.php but no success. It looks like this extension is not activated at all. Any advice?

I have exactly the same problem after the update to 1.3.3. Did you find any solution for this? I also didn't found any information on how to switch to this new LDAP hub.

I have added a first full fledged example configuration for LDAP Stack here: LDAP hub/Migration from extension LDAPAuthentication

Hopefully I can add additional examples soon. Please feel free to add your own examples.

Here the same. Would be nice, when it can be fixed.

Same here, the plugin is dead on my 1.3.3 Mediawiki, it even doesn't write debug information to the configured file. Any suggestions to get it to life again?

@UnplanedDowntimer please have a look at LDAP Stack and LDAP hub/Migration from extension LDAPAuthentication. Hopefully this will provide a solution.

Does anyone know if the LdapAuthentication for Versions extension will be adjusted for v1.33+ at all?

Or is the switch to LDAP stack indispensable?

This might be something that @Cindy.cicalese might be able to answer.

Use the solution in Topic:Tfu65b5pncef5p6s to solve. Change the original $wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin(); to:

   $wgAuthManagerAutoConfig['primaryauth'] += [
       LdapPrimaryAuthenticationProvider::class => [
           'class' => LdapPrimaryAuthenticationProvider::class,
           'args' => [[
                  'authoritative' => true, // don't allow local non-LDAP accounts
              ]],
           'sort' => 50, // must be smaller than local pw provider
       ],
   ];
