Hey

There is a new permission available that governs the right to create accounts when logging in with an external user account. It's called "autocreateaccount" [0]. You have to add to your config something like: $wgGroupPermissions['*']['autocreateaccount'] = true;

Or maybe this is enough: $wgGroupPermissions['user']['autocreateaccount'] = true;

Dezember 2016 16:41 An: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list mediawiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org Betreff: [MediaWiki-l] MediaWiki 1.28.0 Extension LDAPAuthentication does not work

I try to login and create my account I get an error. Auto-creation of a local account failed: Automatic account creation is not allowed. Using the admin account I get the same error.

Has anyone figured out how to get this to work in MediaWiki 1.28.0?

Thanks, Phil
