Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Daniel Barrett (djbarrett) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Cannot authenticate with LDAPauthentication extension

Initial Comment: pywikipedia cannot authenticate to MediaWiki if the wiki is running the LDAPauthentication extension, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication.

The problem (most likely) is that LDAP authentication requires a domain, and pywikipedia does not provide it.

When in use, LDAPauthentication adds a domain dropdown to the MediaWiki login page, named wpDomain:

<select name="wpDomain" value="invaliddomain" tabindex="3"> <option>domain1</option> <option>domain2</option> <option>domain3</option> </select>

When you run login.py, you get this behavior:

Password for user mybot on mywiki:en: ******* Logging in to mywiki:en as mybot Login failed. Wrong password or CAPTCHA answer?

and the error reported by MediaWiki is:

PHP Notice: Undefined index: invaliddomain in extensions\LdapAuthentication.php on line 170

LDAPauthentication is an important extension and I think pywikipedia should support it, just like you support CAPTCHAs today.

Thank you.
