Extension:LDAP Authentication/Configuration Options

The following are options that are usable in "LocalSettings.php":

(These are examples of the extension options, this is not a working example however)

'''Options will not work if put at the beginning of LocalSettings.php. Please place them at the end of LocalSettings.php'''

Enabling the plugin
First, download the snapshot; specifically, always download the trunk version. Follow the directions from the Extension Distributor for where to extract the snapshot.

Specifying the debug file
This is required in version 1.2b+:

Group options
Using LDAP groups in any way requires $wgLDAPBaseDNs to be set!

The following settings pertain to both synchronizing groups, and group based login restriction.

Search based login restriction configuration options
This must be used with a proxy search.

Auto authentication options
It is highly recommended to see the Smartcard Configuration Examples, and Kerberos Configuration Examples pages before messing with these options.

If you use Smartcard and/or Kerberos authentication, it would be foolish not to use HTTPS and SSL/TLS
