Thread:Extension talk:LDAP Authentication/Not setting up a ldap connection

Hi,

We want to authenticate our mediawiki to our central ldap server. When we configure the ldap extension logging in to de mediawiki fails. When enabling debug logging we see the following logging:

2014-01-08 15:36:03 xxxx xxxx_: 2.0c Using non-standard port: 636 2014-01-08 15:36:03 xxxx xxxx_: 2.0c Using servers: ldaps://xxxx:636 2014-01-08 15:36:03 xxxx xxxx_: 2.0c PHP's LDAP connect method returned null, this likely implies a misconfiguration of the plugin.

When we start an tcpdump we see that the extension does not set-up an connection to our LDAP server. What is going wrong?

Regards.
