I am running Rocky Linux release 9.4 and have installed the following extensions:

cd /var/www/html/mediawiki/extensions

git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/LDAPAuthentication2

git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/LDAPProvider

git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/LDAPAuthorization

git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Auth_remoteuser

Added the following code at the bottom of the LocalSettings.php file:

wfLoadExtensions( [

        'PluggableAuth',

        'Auth_remoteuser',

        'LDAPProvider',

        'LDAPAuthentication2',

        'LDAPAuthorization',

        'LDAPUserInfo'

] );

created ../ldapprovider.json

{

        "LDAP": {

                "connection": {

                        "server": "auth1.b.com",

                        "port": "636",

                        "enctype": "ssl",

                        "user": "cn=read-only-admin,dc=b,dc=com",

                        "pass": "KvNCxxxx94QIiyZ",

                        "options": {

                                "LDAP_OPT_DEREF": 1

                        },

                        "basedn": "dc=b,dc=com",

                        "groupbasedn": "ou=group,dc=b,dc=com",

                        "userbasedn": "ou=people,dc=b,dc=com",

                        "searchattribute": "uid",

                        "searchstring": "uid=USER-NAME,ou=people,dc=b,dc=com",

                        "usernameattribute": "uid",

                        "realnameattribute": "cn",

                        "emailattribute": "mail"

                }

        }

}

I can login locally but LDAP doesn't work. I can login from the OS level e.g. su - ldapuser1 on this machine so I know there is an active connection.

If I run the maintenance scripts I get an error e.g.

php maintenance/run.php ./extensions/LDAPProvider/maintenance/ShowUserGroups.php --conf /var/www/html/mediawiki

Most likely some incompatibility with MediaWiki 1.42. The LDAP extensions are mainly developed against the LTS branch which currently is 1.39.

Are there any additional configs? Like for $LDAPProviderDomainConfigs or $LDAPProviderDomainConfigProvider?

Maybe try using a PHP inline config with $LDAPProviderDomainConfigProvider as shown here: Extension:LDAPProvider#Dynamic_PHP_array

I used $LDAPProviderDomainConfigs = "$IP/../ldapprovider.json"; and created this file as per the example. I also tried with the LDAPProviderDomainConfigProvider but neither works.

I think I will try to rebuild using 1.39
