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.
