I'm setting up a MediaWiki system, and am trying to get the system to authenticate to eDirectory. The MediaWiki server is running on a Suse Linux Enterprise 11 server (Novell), and authenticating against a Novell Netware 6.5 server. The Linux server is NOT running eDirectory, but needs to authenticate against another server.
I've run a DSTRACE on the Novell server, and don't even see the MW system trying to authenticate. I cannot find the proper settings to turn on debugging tools on the MW system to see what the problem might be.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
* What versions of MediaWiki and the LDAP plugin are you using? * Is LDAP support for PHP available? * Do you have the LDAP plugin enabled at the bottom of LocalSettings.php? * Is the client connecting to the eDirectory server at all? Check netstat, and check your logs for connections. If it is connecting, and immediately disconnecting, you have an SSL/TLS trust issue. * Turn on debugging on the plugin [1]
I'm betting LDAP support isn't available in PHP.
V/r,
