[Mediawiki-l] LDAP Authentication + Password changing

[Tim Bordemann]

Hi,

I've finally got the LDAP Authentication working on my mw installation.
Nearly everything works fine, even preferences like nickname and email
are retrieved from the ldap-database.
Though, the users are not able to change their passwords unfortunately.
Everytime the try to access the special-site for changing the password,
mw tells them, it is not possible to change it (no form, just an error
message).
Here is my mw/ldap-configuration:

=========================================

require_once( "$IP/extensions/LdapAuthentication/LdapAuthentication.php" );
$wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin();

$wgLDAPDomainNames = array('LDAP');
$wgLDAPServerNames = array('LDAP' => '127.0.0.1');

$wgLDAPUseLocal = false;
$wgLDAPAddLDAPUsers = true;
$wgLDAPUpdateLDAP = true;

$wgLDAPEncryptionType = array('LDAP'=>'clear');

$wgLDAPSearchStrings = array(
    "LDAP" => "uid=USER-NAME,ou=Users,dc=one,dc=two,dc=three,dc=de"
);

$wgLDAWriterDN = array(
      "LDAP"=>"cn=authenticate,dc=one,dc=two,dc=three,dc=de"
        );
$wgLDAPWriterPassword = array(
      "LDAP"=>"abcdefgh"
  );
$wgLDAPWriteLocation = array(
      "LDAP"=>"ou=Users,dc=one,dc=two,dc=three,dc=de"
);
$wgLDAPPreferences = array(

"LDAP"=>array( "email"=>"mail","realname"=>"displayName","nickname"=>"cn"),
);

$wgLDAPSearchAttributes = array(
    "LDAP"=>"uid"
);
$wgLDAPBaseDNs = array(
    "LDAP"=>"dc=one,dc=two,dc=three,dc=de"
);

$wgLDAPUserBaseDNs =
array("LDAP"=>"ou=Users,dc=one,dc=two,dc=three,dc=de");
$wgLDAPDisableAutoCreate = array("LDAP"=>false);

$wgLDAPRetrievePrefs = true; 
$wgMinimalPasswordLength = 8;

$wgDebugLogFile  = '/tmp/wiki.log';
$wgLDAPDebug = 99;
$wgDebugLogGroups["ldap"] = "/tmp/debug.log";

=========================================


Can anyone please tell me what to change to allow users to change their
passwords?

Thanks,
Tim
