Thread:Extension talk:LDAP Authentication/ Urgent ldap authentication not working

Hi,

I'm using Mediawiki 1.19 and I'm trying to install LDAP but it seems not to be working(when user types his credentials it just goes in the welcome page but it didn;t display the user's name at the top right portion of the screen, in short it wasn't successful.) I've followed http://ryandlane.com/blog/2009/03/23/using-the-ldap-authentication-plugin-for-mediawiki-the-basics-part-1/ but It's still not working. The only working userID is the sysops userID which I created before installing LDAP.

Please help, this is what I've typed in localsettings.php


 * 1) require_once( "$IP/extensions/LdapAuthentication/LdapAuthentication.php" );
 * 2) $wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin;
 * 3) $wgLDAPDomainNames = array( "testAD" );
 * 4) $wgLDAPServerNames = array( "testAD" => "**.*.***.** **.*.***.* **.*.**.* **.*.***.***" );
 * 5) $wgLDAPSearchStrings = array( "testAd" => "testAD\\USER-NAME" );
 * 6) $wgLDAPEncryptionType = array( "testAD" => "clear" );
 * 7) $wgLDAPUseLocal = false;
 * 8) $wgMinimalPasswordLength = 1;

Appreciate your help.
