Topic on Project:Support desk

I have mediawiki 1.34.2 on fedora 32 with apache 2.4.43, mysql 8.0.21 and php 7.4.8. I installed ldapprovider, pluggableauth and ldapauthentication2; autocreate account set to true and have a json file with my ldap config (domain controller, base dn, etc. and hope it's correct).

When I try to login using a domain account, I get this...

[XzK0s3@C7oXFuPP8oKdn6QAAAIc] /index.php?title=Special:PluggableAuthLogin Error from line 244 of /var/www/html/extensions/LDAPProvider/src/PlatformFunctionWrapper.php: Call to undefined function ldap_connect()

I went over the pluggableauth configuration section and didn't see the need to add any options there as the defaults are fine. Could this be a php incompatibility since the latest version (5.7) is dated 2018?

You need to enable the ldap extension of php, probably by installing it from your package manager, or enabling it in php.ini

https://www.php.net/manual/ldap.installation.php

ok fixed that part. now when trying to use a domain account it says "could not authenticate credentials against domain"

There are some (successfully resolved) discussions regarding this issue already:

• Extension talk:LDAPProvider
• Extension talk:LDAPAuthentication2
• Talk:LDAP hub

Maybe they are a good starting point?

Also please make sure you have read LDAP_hub/Migration_from_extension_LDAPAuthentication and Manual:Active_Directory_Integration. Please also provide debugging information.

ok...will look at the extension page and AD integration section of the manual (didn't know they existed). i see there are more extensions required than listed on the ldapauthentication2 page so that could be a factor also
