Win2k8 - IIS7
NTLM Auth extension with Honza's SpecialUserLogin.php fix - Extension_talk:Windows_NTLM_LDAP_Auto_Auth
MediaWiki 1.16.2
PHP 5.2.17 (isapi)
MySQL 5.5.9

I am getting a 500 response, and have run out of ideas for troubleshooting. The problem only shows up when I enable my config for LDAP authentication, but my ldap_debug.log file show authentication completing successfully

$wgShowExceptionDetails = true; is set in LocalSettings.php

I created a new account with DOMAINNAME\username (while my ldap stuff was disabled), and then recreated it, and now it just continuously redirects me to the login page (which is not used / does nothing while my ldap extension is on)

Again, if I authenticate (windows auth - NTLM) as any account which I have not explicity defined, I get http 500 response.

So it appears that there are 2 problems:

• Account auto creation with the NTLM extension is not working
• Something isn't being recognized during login, and it keeps redirecting me to the login page

Solved:

finally found where I can turn on PHP errors in the php.ini file, and was able to quickly find a small typo, that was causing the 500 error.

it would be nice to give info of exactly what you did to solve the issue. thanks.
