[Mediawiki-l] Mediawiki 1.5 and LDAP Authentication

[Jeff Mandel]

I found what I needed to make the LDAP auth happen here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LDAP_Authentication
and here:
http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=814
I'm basically using the examples given.
I don't think LdapAuthentication.php comes with 1.5, you need to get it 
from one of those links.

Make sure the openldap acls let you do an anonymous search, unless 
you're planning to use a proxy agent.
To check your ldap connection from the machine running your wiki, you 
might try this first without tls, etc., just to make sure you're not 
having an acl issue.
 From the command line, even in OSX:
ldapsearch -x -h <ldaphost> -b dc=my-domain,dc=com uid=lbatti
