[Mediawiki-l] FW: Help Appreciated

Hi

I am trying to implement a mediawiki for our organisation, but have hit a problem that I am unable (so far) to remedy.  Your online documentation has been an absolute god send.

I have an implementation in a Virtual Environment that has no restrictions as far as Firewall or Networking is concerned.  Using your documentation as a baseline for the LDAP Plugin I have managed to get authentication working using LDAP when setting $wgLDAPEncryptionType = array('internalwiki' => 'clear');.  However, when trying to use SSL I hit a problem.

We know that LDAP works on 389 and 636 between the two servers as we have used "LDAP.exe" to connect and bind.

At this point I should provide details on our environment:

DMZ Server


*         Windows 2003 R2 32bit

*         IIS6.0

*         fcgisetup_1.5_rtw_x86.msi

*         mysql-essential-5.1.44-win32.msi

*         php-5.2.12-nts-win32-installer.msi

*         MediaWiki 1.15.2

*         LDAPAuthentication Plugin 1.2b

*         Root Certificate installed and trusted on the Server

Separate Domain Server


*         Windows 2003 R2 Active Directory (Root CA)

My LDAPAuthentication.php file has the following settings:

<?php

require_once("$IP/extensions/LdapAuthentication/LdapAuthentication.php");

$wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin();

$wgLDAPDomainNames = array(' vDomain ');
$wgLDAPServerNames = array('vmdomain' => 'vmad.vDomain.local');
$wgLDAPSearchStrings = array('vmdomain' => 'vmDomain\\USER-NAME');
$wgLDAPEncryptionType = array('vmdomain' => 'ssl');
$wgLDAPGroupUseFullDN = array( "vmdomain"=>true );
$wgLDAPBaseDNs = array( "vmdomain"=>"dc=vmDomain,dc=local" );
$wgLDAPSearchAttributes = array( "vmdomain" => "sAMAccountName");
$wgLDAPGroupObjectclass = array( "vmdomain"=>"group" );
$wgLDAPGroupAttribute = array( "vmdomain"=>"member" );
$wgLDAPGroupNameAttribute = array( "vmdomain"=>"cn" );
$wgLDAPRequiredGroups = array( "vmdomain"=>array("cn=wiki users,ou=application security groups,ou=security,ou=groups,dc=vDomain,dc=local") );


# Enable the "local" option on the login page. Enabled initially so we can use the WikiSysop user. Set to false to remove.
$wgLDAPUseLocal = true;

$wgMinimalPasswordLength = 1;

# Debug options - uncomment to enable detailed debugging
$wgDebugLogGroups["ldap"] = "D:\Logfile\LDAP.log";
$wgLDAPDebug = 6;

?>

These are the results that I get when I try and authenticate.
