Hi at all,
whenever I try to re-request a password MediaWiki tells me that I have
to wait another 24 hours until I can do this.
My understanding is that $wgPasswordAttemptThrottle [0] is there to help
be control this behaviour. No matter what I set to this parameter, even
"false" I am still being asked to wait for 24 hours.
I am using redis for caching. My theory is that you need memcached for
this to work and if memcached is not present MediaWiki enforces a day,
no matter what. Is this about right or is there something else at play?
Bonus question: Is there a another way to change this 24 hours period?
Probably not but hope dies last. :)
Thanks for your time.
Cheers, Karsten

Hi,
There's a new episode of the MediaWiki podcast "Between the Brackets": this
one is an interview with Yotam HaCohen, who runs Israel's foremost (and
maybe only) MediaWiki-based consulting company, OpenFox. You can listen to
the episode here:

Hello everyone,
MediaWiki Stakeholders have been working on a new LDAP stack to connect MediaWiki with LDAP based user directories. We have made considerable progress over the last months and the stack has been tested successfully in various contexts. The new stack is meant to replace the existing Extension:Ldap_Authentication which is no longer maintained. It integrates with AuthManager and is built in a modular and extensible way. There is also a documentation on MediaWiki.org [1] for how to use the new stack and how to migrate from the old extension.
In order to harden the stack against a range of use cases, we appreciate your testing and feedback. You can also contribute to the code directly, of course.
Best,
Markus
