LDAP hub/Migration from extension LDAPAuthentication
< LDAP hub
This page holds example configurations of the original Extension:LdapAuthentication and how these need to be rewritten for LDAP Stack.
Full fledged configuration
[edit]Example 1
[edit]- Allow network based authentication (aka "implicit", e.g. by using Apache's
mod_auth_kerbmodule for Kerberos authentication) - Allow form based authentications with local user accounts
- Allow form based authentications with remote LDAP user accounts
- Restrict login to certain LDAP user groups
- Syncronize user info
- No syncronization of user groups
Given $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] = 'someuser@company.local'

Example 3 - MediaWiki on CentOS w/ActiveDirectory
[edit]New MediaWiki Server: Mediawiki 1.35 + LDAP Stack
Legacy MediaWiki Server: MediaWiki 1.26.0 + LDAP Auth
LDAP Server: Microsoft Active Directory Server(s) domain.
MediaWiki Server: VMware VM, CentOS 8.2004, SELinux, Firewalld, TLS, MariaDB 10.3, Apache 2.4.37 Virtual Hosts, Remi php 7.3
MediaWiki v1.26.0 was the legacy system we upgraded to v1.35.0. We used forms based auth and originally did not require users to login to view pages, only to edit. In the new system that has changed as now they must login to view or edit. We are still using forms based auth and not any Network or Apache/HTTP/s based user auth. We do use TLS for transport encyrption to/from the Apache Virtual Host/site, all backend services are localhosted.
The TLS setup can catch folks (on linux at least) so I suggest looking into update-ca-trust and follow that. Afaik openssl and the system do not really share trust info per/se and use differnet source folders and such.
I did not post any of the data, database, or OS upgrade info here. Basically I setup an entirely new VM with all new software and just did a database backup and restore, which went ok but there were some issues I had to roll around and figure out. I copied over all the files from the images folder naturally so all the uploads would be there too.
v1.26.0 LdapAuthentication LocalSettings.php
[edit]Relevant LocalSettings.php parts :
- Note: all actual domain names CostaRica.Net and server names are fictional. Any name conflicts in the real world are purely coincidental and accidental.
# Note: all actual domain names and server names are fictional. Any name conflicts in the real world are purely coincidental and unintentional.

v1.35.0 Helpful Scripts and Tools
[edit]Along with the mediawiki php scripts to run and test AD Auth and getting groupinfo which are key tests. I created a few of my own outside of the mediawiki realm to help make sure my system itself could do things as needed using required server sub-systems.
These tools are meant to help the Systems Engineer, Sysadmin, or Administrator troubleshoot during setup of MediaWiki LDAPStack and Auth. Using it against Active Directory was my primary use case but they are basically directory indifferent.
You will need to setup your OpenSSL and more importantly your Linux OS TLS setup and add the AD Servers CA to the Trust Anchors in the system.

Auth remoteuser (Kerberos auth) with LDAPProvider features
[edit]The example includes a few extensions from LDAPStack, additional packages that you will need to make it works and some extra code that is not included in the documentation (many thanks to Osnard for his support).
Mediawiki 1.33.0 on Ubuntu 16.04. Apache2, PHP7.0, MySQL 5.7, Kerberos authentication.
LDAPProvider 1.0.1, LDAPGroups 1.0.1, LDAPUserInfo 1.0.0
Packages and apache2 mods: kerberos_packages, mod_krb5, php7.0-ldap in my case.
krb5.conf:
[libdefaults]
default_realm = MY.DOMAIN
[realms]
MY.DOMAIN =
{
kdc = server.my.domain:port
kdc = anotherserver.my.domain:port
admin_server = server.my.domain
default_domain = my.domain
}
[domain_realm]
ad-domain.local = MY.DOMAIN
.ad-domain.local = MY.DOMAIN
[login]
krb4_convert = true
krb4_get_tickets = false
apache2.conf:
...
AccessFileName .htaccess
...
.htaccess:
AuthType Kerberos
AuthName "Kerberos Login"
KrbMethodK5Passwd off #Set this to on if you want to allow wiki logons from outside of your domain (manual input).
Krb5Keytab /path/to/krb5_http.keytab
Require user SomeUser@MY.DOMAIN AnotherUser@MY.DOMAIN
LocalSettings.php:
wfLoadExtensions( [
'Auth_remoteuser',
'LDAPProvider',
'LDAPUserInfo',
'LDAPGroups'
] );
$wgAuthRemoteuserUserNameReplaceFilter = [
'@MY.DOMAIN$' => ''
];
$LDAPProviderDomainConfigProvider = function() {
$config = [
'my.domain' => [
'connection' => [
"server" => "server.my.domain",
"user" => "CN=ldapuser,OU=ADOU,DC=my,DC=domain",
"pass" => 'password',
"options" => [
"LDAP_OPT_DEREF" => 1
],
"grouprequest" => "MediaWiki\\Extension\\LDAPProvider\\UserGroupsRequest\\UserMemberOf::factory",
"basedn" => "dc=my,dc=domain",
"groupbasedn" => "dc=my,dc=domain",
"userbasedn" => "dc=my,dc=domain",
"searchattribute" => "samaccountname",
"searchstring" => "",
"usernameattribute" => "samaccountname",
"realnameattribute" => "cn"
],
'userinfo' => [
"attributes-map" => [

"mechanism" => "mappedgroups",
"mapping" => [
"sysop" => "CN=ADGroup,OU=ADOU,dc=my,dc=domain",
"customgroup" => "CN=AnotherADGroup,OU=ADOU,dc=my,dc=domain"
]
]
]
];
return new \MediaWiki\Extension\LDAPProvider\DomainConfigProvider\InlinePHPArray( $config );
}
Line 22 is needed for the LDAPGroup extension to work properly, when the "mappedgroups" mechanism is used.
Add $this->domain = 'my.domain'; return true; (third line) to mediawiki/extensions/LDAPProvider/src/Hook/UserLoadAfterLoadFromSession.php to make the LDAPUserInfo work:
...
protected function findDomainForUser() {
$this->domain = 'my.domain'; return true;
$userDomainStore = new UserDomainStore(
...
After the settings above the following command line scripts should work:
php extensions/LDAPProvider/maintenance/ShowUserInfo.php --domain my.domain --username SomeUser
php extensions/LDAPProvider/maintenance/ShowUserGroups.php --domain my.domain --username SomeUser
To enable the debug log you can use (LocalSettings.php):
$wgDebugLogGroups['LDAPUserInfo'] = "/tmp/LDAPUserInfo.log";
$wgDebugLogGroups['LDAPGroups'] = "/tmp/LDAPGroups.log";
Very Simple Auth remoteuser Setup
[edit]The example is a very simple setup (that I may evolve at a later date, but is working now).
Mediawiki 1.31.5 on a late 2012 Mac Mini Server running Yosemite (10.10.5) using Server Internal Apache Version 2.4.16, PHP 7.2.21, MySQL 5.6.22
LDAP Hub Extension(s): Auth_remoteuser REL1_33 (I confirm only this one extension)
apache2.conf:
...
AccessFileName .htaccess
...
At the root of my web server file system I have an .htaccess file which connects to my Yosemite Server Open Directory Service as follows:
.htaccess:
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthType Basic
AuthName "OpenDirectory"
AuthBasicAuthoritative off
AuthLDAPURL ldap://<server>.local/cn=users,dc=<machine>,dc=lan?uid
AuthLDAPGroupAttribute memberUID
Require valid-user
LocalSettings.php:
# LDAP Authentication
wfLoadExtension( 'Auth_remoteuser' );
One a user authenticates through Apache's .htaccess/OpenDirectory (OD) and gains access to the server, Auth_remoteuser automatically uses the OD username/credentials as the Mediawiki login/username without any prompting or user interaction.
I plan to test/implement user groups so my setup may change substantially at a later date.
