Version : Mediawiki 1.25.5 ----- PHP 5.5.38(apache2handler) ------ MySQL 5.7.15-log

Problem:

Unable to login using LDAP authentication extension.

Description:

While logging in, on entering username, password and domain from a drop down menu, after clicking on submit button, I am getting an error message--> 'Incorrect password entered. Please try again later' .

The url on which I want to use LDAP authentication is SSL enabled.

Please suggest on what the problem may be?

Check the Apache logs for the error occurring on the server side. For example, Mediawiki might be failing to load the ldap authentication module when you try to log in. This module does not yet seem to comply with the way that modules are called upon in newer versions of Mediawiki (lacks extensions/LdapAuthentication/extension.json) and trying to generate the extension.json file with the maintenance/convertExtensionToRegistration.php script also fails.

How is it failing? Is there an error message?
