Whenever I try to login, it displays a message, "Incorrect password entered. Please try again.".

I am using PHP 5.5.38 and upgraded to Mediawiki 1.28.0 version.

Mediawiki isn't compatible with MediaWiki 1.28 at present. The main problem is AuthManager.

Please let us know if this issue with compatibility will be resolved

I'm interested as well. Trying to upgrade from 1.23 and this one's a blocker. Happy to test anything you can come up with.

That means if I am upgraded to Mediawiki 1.28, I can't use LDAP authentication i.e. I cant login my application which uses mediawiki 1.28. Is my understanding correct on this?

I am running Debian and using official Debian packages repo. After upgrade from Debian Jessie to Stretch, surprisingly, the package mediawiki-extensions-base has disappeared from Stretch, so its Jessie version has just been removed, including the Ldap extension.

That made MW corrupted of course. Current Debian package delivers 1.27.3 version of mediawiki in Debian Stretch, and apparently everyone who upgraded has to manually hack the .php files to

- no more include the removed extensions (to fix warning)

- manually download removed extensions like this Ldap one, and hack LocalSettings.php to load them

... currently I am stuck with Ldap extension, experiencing same problem as in the title of this topic. After the hacks, I ran the udpate.php eventually, even restarted apache, but still, when looking into mediawiki's SQL db ("wiki"), the table "ldap_domains" is empty. Only local accounts work.

What is the point with "AuthManager problem", is it what this commit talks about?
