[Mediawiki-l] Problem with LDAP Authentication plugin

[Jack Eapen C]

Hi,

I'm using LDAP authentication plugin with MW 193. If a username does not exist in the MW user table, when that user logs in, he/she can't. The error displayed is 

"There was either an external authentication database error or you are not allowed to update your external account"

So I have to add all the users existing in the AD to MW table as well. But this is not practical as new users are added to AD quite often. 

Here's my settings for ldapauthentication plugin:

/*LDAP authentication
*/
require_once( "$IP/extensions/LdapAuthentication.php" );
$wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin();
$wgLDAPUseLocal = true;
$wgLDAPEncryptionType = array( "suntecsbs.com"=>"ssl" );
$wgLDAPDebug = 0;
$wgLDAPDomainNames = array("suntecsbs.com");
$wgLDAPServerNames = array("suntecsbs.com"=>"sbssvad20.suntecsbs.com");
$wgLDAPSearchStrings = array("suntecsbs.com"=>"SUNTECSBS\\USER-NAME");
$wgLDAPSearchAttributes = array("suntecsbs.com"=>"sAMAccountName");
$wgLDAPBaseDNs = array("suntecsbs.com"=>"OU=SunTec Business Solutions,DC=suntecsbs,DC=com");

Any suggestions, plz?
