This extension is obsolete!
It has been replaced by LDAPAuthentication2.

The LDAP Authentication extension is used on Wikitech as a dependency of the OpenStackManager extension. It was originally written for AuthPlugin and was never properly updated to use AuthManager. Third-party wikis wanting authentication via LDAP should use LDAPAuthentication2 or other LDAP extensions as explained at LDAP hub instead.

This extension is being used on one or more Wikimedia projects. This probably means that the extension is stable and works well enough to be used by such high-traffic websites. Look for this extension's name in Wikimedia's CommonSettings.php and InitialiseSettings.php configuration files to see where it's installed. A full list of the extensions installed on a particular wiki can be seen on the wiki's Special:Version page.

This extension is included in the following wiki farms/hosts and/or packages:

This is not an authoritative list. Some wiki farms/hosts and/or packages may contain this extension even if they are not listed here. Always check with your wiki farms/hosts or bundle to confirm.
