User talk:Wikinewbie~mediawikiwiki

Cannot get LDAP Auto Authentication to work, any help would be appreciated!
Here's my issue:

I have inherited a wiki from our last systems administrator. (Who left before I arrived) Before he left he had installed mediawiki for our employees to post articles about processes or instructions that have worked for them in the context of their job. The wiki is up and reachable on our intranet, and LDAP Authentication was working. I am trying to get auto authentication to work, so when you log in to our domain, those credentials automatically log you in to the mediawiki site when you go there.

The problem:

In attempting to set up the auto authentication I inadvertently broke the ldap authentication and didn't make a backup of the original localsettings.php file. (I know, I know) I've been on mediawiki's website on and off for several weeks now reading up on wiki's, and I just don't have enough base knowledge to understand what I'm doing wrong. I have posted the LDAP portion of the LocalSettings.php file below:

Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Wikinewbie. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Wikinewbie~mediawikiwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 04:16, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
