Thread:Extension talk:LDAP Authentication/ Bug 37110 Can LDAPAuthentication support alias deference? (2)

I have reported a bug (#37110) regarding deref problem in Ldapauthentication:

I have successfully setup LdapAuthentication extension for my mediawiki site. The LDAP authentication works and I may notice that in my ldap.log. Here is my ldap setting in LocalSettings.php:

I then try to use set BaseDN to my alias group, is obviously the LdapAuthentication doesn't support alias deference:

The  doesn't seems to function. I attempt to trace the source LdapAuthentication.php and found in line 230:

There is a parameter  in function ldap_search. It seems that LdapAuthentication doesn't make use of  parameter.

I change  to   and the authentication via alias works without problem. Please enhance LdapAuthentication to support alias dereferencing.

Thank you.
