FW: Help Appreciated
by Ian Diston 12 May '10

12 May '10

Hi I am trying to implement a mediawiki for our organisation, but have hit a problem that I am unable (so far) to remedy. Your online documentation has been an absolute god send. I have an implementation in a Virtual Environment that has no restrictions as far as Firewall or Networking is concerned. Using your documentation as a baseline for the LDAP Plugin I have managed to get authentication working using LDAP when setting $wgLDAPEncryptionType = array('internalwiki' => 'clear');. However, when trying to use SSL I hit a problem. We know that LDAP works on 389 and 636 between the two servers as we have used "LDAP.exe" to connect and bind. At this point I should provide details on our environment: DMZ Server * Windows 2003 R2 32bit * IIS6.0 * fcgisetup_1.5_rtw_x86.msi * mysql-essential-5.1.44-win32.msi * php-5.2.12-nts-win32-installer.msi * MediaWiki 1.15.2 * LDAPAuthentication Plugin 1.2b * Root Certificate installed and trusted on the Server Separate Domain Server * Windows 2003 R2 Active Directory (Root CA) My LDAPAuthentication.php file has the following settings: <?php require_once("$IP/extensions/LdapAuthentication/LdapAuthentication.php"); $wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin(); $wgLDAPDomainNames = array(' vDomain '); $wgLDAPServerNames = array('vmdomain' => 'vmad.vDomain.local'); $wgLDAPSearchStrings = array('vmdomain' => 'vmDomain\\USER-NAME'); $wgLDAPEncryptionType = array('vmdomain' => 'ssl'); $wgLDAPGroupUseFullDN = array( "vmdomain"=>true ); $wgLDAPBaseDNs = array( "vmdomain"=>"dc=vmDomain,dc=local" ); $wgLDAPSearchAttributes = array( "vmdomain" => "sAMAccountName"); $wgLDAPGroupObjectclass = array( "vmdomain"=>"group" ); $wgLDAPGroupAttribute = array( "vmdomain"=>"member" ); $wgLDAPGroupNameAttribute = array( "vmdomain"=>"cn" ); $wgLDAPRequiredGroups = array( "vmdomain"=>array("cn=wiki users,ou=application security groups,ou=security,ou=groups,dc=vDomain,dc=local") ); # Enable the "local" option on the login page. Enabled initially so we can use the WikiSysop user. Set to false to remove. $wgLDAPUseLocal = true; $wgMinimalPasswordLength = 1; # Debug options - uncomment to enable detailed debugging $wgDebugLogGroups["ldap"] = "D:\Logfile\LDAP.log"; $wgLDAPDebug = 6; ?> These are the results that I get when I try and authenticate.

state of developing tests for MW
by dan nessett 12 May '10

12 May '10

Would someone be willing to comment on what activity currently exists on creating tests for the MW software? I notice the "t" directory no longer exists and the "tests" directory had been moved to maintenance. Furthermore, there appears to be more tests in the "tests" directory than there was 9-12 months ago. Is that an indication that someone is working on test development? Thanks, Dan Nessett

Can I customize my mediawiki to restrict account-creation to people with our school's email address?
by Andrew Gradman 12 May '10

12 May '10

Hello Mediawiki list, I posted this question *in more detail at the Wikipedia Reference Desk*<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Computing#Can_I_custo…>, and the answerer suggested I forward it here. If this is not the right place to ask this question, please let me know where to go next? Here is what I posted at the reference desk: *I'm on the student senate at my school, and we want to customize our > mediawiki install so it only lets someone create an account (i.e. edit) if > their email address ends in @[school_name].edu. We also want to force their > username to be the [first].[last]@ from their email address. Later, we might > expand this to more schools, so we would want the flexibility to add other > @[school_name].edu's to have the ability to create accounts.* > > *Question 1: Is that possible?* > *Question 2: Howso? Thanks! * > Thanks! Andrew

Wikia
by Bobby S 12 May '10

12 May '10

Perhaps this isn't the forum for this, but I wanted to pose it to you all anyway to spark some debate and discussion. I understand this may not be popular with some... Why isn't Wikimedia or some other non-profit organization creating the "library" as Jimmy Wales likes to describe Wikia? Aren't the sites on Wikia knowledge and information just like Wikimedia's sites?...while you could argue that Wikimedia's sites are more easily classified as educational, the sites on Wikia do have information that educates on specific topics. Why then should we let a commercial company control the "library" instead of a non-profit? I understand some will argue that the fact that Wikia is copyleft means they are the good guy in the fight, but I would argue that they have no skin in the game to make their content easily accessible for other purposes and make their content easily digested without a bevy of ads in order to pay for the servers. Wondering what your thoughts are on this topic. Bobby

Readable Recent Changes
by Adam Meyer 11 May '10

11 May '10

I have a really hard time reading recent changes easily. It is just very chaotic. I wanted to make it more readable, and was sad to see that a lot of what was needed to just apply some css to make it readable was missing. I was wondering if there is an extension to do this. Right now, I had to make some minor changes to changesList.php to do this. This is what I wanted as a final result http://wiki.bildr.org/index.php/Special:RecentChanges But it would be nice if I didnt have to edit changesList.php to do so.

11 May '10

Hello listmates, Just wodnering if it is possible to set a Wiki in such a way that some selected pages (like the login page, for instance) could only be accessed via the secure interface (HTTPS)? Thanks, Boris.
