Yes, it is backwards compatible. Actually, it isn't ready for 1.4 yet since
the authentication hook has been added, and the code hasn't been modified to
use it yet.
Currently, there isn't a patch to add this feature for you since it is
scheduled to be included in 1.4. To add this patch you'll have to splice the
code in yourself. I know its a pain, but thankfully the patch is somewhat
small. Make sure you add the bugfixes, as the patch will not work without
them.

Subject: [Wikitech-l] FW: Meta-Wiki LDAP authentication
Hello all
My name is Patrice Matignon, and I'm interested in MediaWiki LDAP
authentication capabilities for which I was hoping to get more info.
I've read the BugZilla report #814 and the LDAP authentication meta-wiki
page, but I'm still not clear on 2 things:
1) Is this "patch" available already, and if yes, where would that be?
2) The BugZilla refers to the v1.4 baseline, but I was hoping someone
would
know whether it would be backward-compatible with a v1.3.8 instance we
have.
Thanks much for your time, and best regards.
- Patrice Matignon
