Hi,
I am running a rendering service for converting wiki articles to
downloadable formates
https://mediawiki2latex.wmflabs.org/
I can log into the machine via ssh. But I cannot access the horizon
administration web interface anymore. After some research I found out
that is because of my last name Hünniger which contains the Umlaut ü. It
has been suggested that I create a new account call "Dirk Huenniger" and
transfer the administration rights for the mediawiki2latex project on
horizon to this new account. Is this a good idea? And if so what are the
steps I need to take in order to reach that? Currently I do not really
need to horizon web interface, but the current situation is a thread for
the long term stability of the mediawik2latex web service.
The Cloud Services team believes that this bug has been fixed since
2019-12-23 [0]. This authentication problem was caused by a buggy LDAP
library integration in OpenStack. We "fixed" the problem for the
Wikitech wiki by removing legacy OpenStack integration there. The
problem was fixed more correctly for Horizon by backporting a newer
python-ldap library which does not have the same unicode handling
issues.
If you are still unable to authenticate to Horizon, please do open a
new Phabricator task giving as many details as you can about the issue
and we will try to find a solution.
