Not updating Groups in the MW Database
by Felix Feinhals 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

Hi, we use the LDAP extension to sync LDAP groups with the MW Database, so that other extensions like accesscontrol can use these groups. But its not working anymore and i dont know what to do about it. Here is our current configuration and debug logs of a test user logging in: $wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin(); $wgLDAPDebug = 3; $wgDebugLogGroups["ldap"] = "/tmp/test-wiki/ldap.debug.log"; $wgLDAPDomainNames = array( "domain" ); $wgLDAPServerNames = array( "domain"=>"server.com" ); $wgLDAPUseLocal = false; $wgLDAPEncryptionType = array( "domain"=>"ssl" ); $wgLDAPSearchStrings = array( "domain"=>"domain\\USER-NAME" ); $wgLDAPProxyAgent = array( "domain"=>"cn=searchonly,cn=Users,dc=server,dc=domain,dc=com" ); $wgLDAPProxyAgentPassword = array( "domain"=>"xxx" ); $wgLDAPSearchAttribudomains = array( "domain"=>"sAMAccountName" ); $wgLDAPBaseDNs = array( "domain"=>"dc=server,dc=domain,dc=com" ); $wgLDAPMailPassword = false; $wgLDAPPreferences = array ( "domain"=>array( "email"=>"mail","realname"=>"displayName","nickname"=>"cn","language"=>" preferredLanguage") ); $wgLDAPDisableAutoCreate = array( "domain"=>false ); $wgMinimalPasswordLength = 1; $wgLDAPGroupUseFullDN = array( "domain"=>true ); $wgLDAPGroupBaseDNs = array( "domain"=>"ou=Groups,ou=department,dc=server,dc=domain,dc=com" ); $wgLDAPLowerCaseUsername = array( "domain"=>true ); $wgLDAPGroupUseRetrievedUsername = array( "domain"=>false ); $wgLDAPGroupObjectclass = array( "domain"=>"group" ); $wgLDAPGroupAttribudomain = array( "domain"=>"member" ); $wgLDAPGroupNameAttribudomain = array( "domain"=>"cn" ); $wgLDAPUseLDAPGroups = array( "domain"=>true ); $wgLDAPGroupLowerCaseUsername = array( "domain"=>true ); 2009-10-28 09:47:26 wikidb_test: Entering validDomain 2009-10-28 09:47:26 wikidb_test: User is not using a valid domain. 2009-10-28 09:47:26 wikidb_test: Setting domain as: invaliddomain 2009-10-28 09:47:26 wikidb_test: Entering allowPasswordChange 2009-10-28 09:47:26 wikidb_test: Entering modifyUITemplate 2009-10-28 09:47:29 wikidb_test: Entering validDomain 2009-10-28 09:47:29 wikidb_test: User is not using a valid domain. 2009-10-28 09:47:29 wikidb_test: Setting domain as: invaliddomain 2009-10-28 09:47:29 wikidb_test: Entering allowPasswordChange 2009-10-28 09:47:29 wikidb_test: Entering modifyUITemplate 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: Entering validDomain 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: User is using a valid domain. 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: Setting domain as: domain 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: Entering getCanonicalName 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: Username isn't empty. 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: Munged username: Testneu 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: Entering authenticate 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: Entering Connect 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: Using SSL 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: Using servers: ldaps://server.com 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: Connected successfully 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: Lowercasing the username: Testneu 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: Entering getSearchString 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: Doing a straight bind 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: userdn is: domain\testneu 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: 2009-10-28 09:47:34 wikidb_test: Binding as the user 2009-10-28 09:47:39 wikidb_test: Bound successfully 2009-10-28 09:47:39 wikidb_test: Entering getUserDN 2009-10-28 09:47:39 wikidb_test: Created a regular filter: (sAMAccountName=testneu) 2009-10-28 09:47:39 wikidb_test: Entering getBaseDN 2009-10-28 09:47:39 wikidb_test: basedn is not set for this type of entry, trying to get the default basedn. 2009-10-28 09:47:39 wikidb_test: Entering getBaseDN 2009-10-28 09:47:39 wikidb_test: basedn is dc=server,dc=domain,dc=com 2009-10-28 09:47:39 wikidb_test: Using base: dc=server,dc=domain,dc=com 2009-10-28 09:47:39 wikidb_test: Fetched username is not a string (check your hook code...).

Re: [Mediawiki-l] mediawiki inside an intranet
by CVB 09 Nov '09

> But they say that mediawiki user right management > is not enough powerful for us. And the are right to say that. "MediaWiki is not designed to be a CMS, or to protect sensitive data. To the contrary, it was designed to be as open as possible. Thus it does not inherently support full featured, air-tight protection of private content. But with the massive increase of MediaWiki use in corporate intranets and the many CMS-like features emerging, demand for tighter security is emerging." (Quote from "Security issues with authorization extensions") http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Security_issues_with_authorization_extensions What happens if security is not tight enough? Is security important in your intranet? Regards Claus

Add Copyright Info to PDF Books
by Ross Xu 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hi there, I am using the Collection Extension for my MediaWiki 1.15.1 to download PDFs or create books in PDF. I really want to add my copyright info to the PDFs, but I can't find any way to do it. Do I need to do something with LocalSettings.php, or to create some kind of template? Thanks in advance.

mediawiki inside an intranet
by Raffaele Recalcati 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

I'm trying to convince my company to use mediawiki for internal use. But they say that mediawiki user right management is not enough powerful for us. We need several levels and several groups of users rights to protect from read or read/write important documents. All has to be integrated with LDAP. Any suggestions? Any big company that uses in its intranet the mediawiki for this goal? Also we need a very powerful rich editor that allow to write block diagrams ... Thanks. -- www.opensurf.it

Search Results in Wrong Order
by Ross Xu 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Greetings, I like the EzMwLucene search engine for my MediaWiki 1.15.1. But the search results are listed in wrong order. If a serach result has full text match, it should be listed at the top, but it's put on the third position. The ones listed above it have higher value of relevance, but the words are just partially matched. How could I adjust the relevance, or change the way of list order? Any idea is appreciated.

Checked the requirements using phpinfo http://www.opensurf.it/_phpinfo.php ------------------ PHP Version 5.2.6 instead of recommended 5.1 PCRE: ok SPL: ok Loaded all mediawiki 1.15.1 in /w/ dir using gftp Set, by gftp, config dir to chmod 777 I have this result http://www.opensurf.it/w The /tmp dir is not in a correct place, because my user on the server has not write permisison on the server. I think $IP is the absolute path on the server, but someone told me is written automatically. I need an help because I really like to install on my server the mediawiki, but I'm blocked. Thx

Getting an error 500
by Marco 27 08 Nov '09

08 Nov '09

Hello, I've a problem on my wiki. When I try to create or modify a page, it get an error 500. The strange is that it happens only in the page of namespaces User, Project, 100, 102, 104 (but not in ns0, 101, 103, 105, 150, 151). I tried to follow the page [1]: I put error_reporting( E_ALL ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 ); at the top of my LocalSettings.php, and it shows a problem with $wgImportSources. So I deleted it from LocalSettings, but it got the error 500 again, without further information about the error. Then I tried to increase memory limit through LocalSettings.php to 16, 32 and 64M, putting ini_set( 'memory_limit', '32M' ); but nothing changed. What could I do? Thank you in advance. Regards.

Change Logo works only partially
by Frank.Neps＠gmail.com 07 Nov '09

07 Nov '09

Hello altogether, I tried to change the logo of a mediawiki installation on an Ubuntu Server. In the file LocalSettings.php I added the line $wgLogo = "images/mylogo.png" Then I copied the file with the above name into the directory images. The logo is displayed, when I click on "edit" to modify a page. But it is not displayed any more, when I switch back to regular view. Could I please get a hint, what goes wrong here? Any idea? What information do you need? Thank you in advance and best regards, Frank

How to Enable JavaScript for MediaWiki
by Ross Xu 07 Nov '09

07 Nov '09

Greetings, I am using MediaWiki 1.15.1 for my wiki site. I'd like to know if JavaScript is enabled by default. If not, how to enable it? The reason I am asking this is ... If I create my monobook.js at wikipedia and add "{{subst:navpop}}", it automatically converts after Save. But for my wiki site, it doesn't. And none of my js for my wiki seems working. BTW, my wiki site is a virtual web server from my ISP. Is this a problem? Any idea is greatly appreciated, Ross __________________________________________________________________ The new Internet Explorer® 8 - Faster, safer, easier. Optimized for Yahoo!
