Topic on Talk:LDAP hub

Hi,

I recently installed Bluespice Free 3.1 and tried to get LDAP Authentication working against an Active Directory.

So far I am able to log in using the account I created at installation, but with the password from AD (Account names are the same).

However, when I try to login with another account, the login form says (in German):

"Auto-creation of a local account failed:

Automatic account creation is not allowed"

Here is my config (relevant parts)

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['autocreateaccount'] = true;

wfLoadExtension( 'PluggableAuth' );

wfLoadExtension( 'LDAPProvider' );

wfLoadExtension( 'LDAPAuthentication2' );

wfLoadExtension( 'LDAPAuthorization' );

$LDAPProviderCacheTime = "1";

$LDAPProviderDomainConfigProvider = function() {

       $config = [

               'mydomain.com' => [

                       'connection' => [

                               "server" => "dc.mydomain.com",

                               "user" => "binduser@mydomain.com",

                               "pass" => "password",

                               "options" => [

                                       "LDAP_OPT_DEREF" => 1

                               ],  

                               "basedn" => "DC=mydomain,DC=com",

                               "enctype" => "clear",

                               "port" => "389",

                               "groupbasedn" => "DC=mydomain,DC=com",

                               "userbasedn" => "DC=mydomain,DC=com",

                               "searchattribute" => "samaccountname",

                               "grouprequest" => "MediaWiki\\Extension\\LDAPProvider\\UserGroupsRequest\\GroupMember::factory",

                               "searchstring" => "USER-NAME@mydomain.com",

                               "usernameattribute" => "samaccountname",

                               "realnameattribute" => "cn",

                               "emailattribute" => "mail"

                       ],

                       "authorization" => [

                               "rules" => [

                                       "groups" => [

                                               "required" => [ "CN=requiredgroup,OU=3,OU=2,OU=1,DC=mydomain,DC=com" ]

                                       ]

                               ]

                       ]

               ]

       ];

       return new \MediaWiki\Extension\LDAPProvider\DomainConfigProvider\InlinePHPArray( $config );

};

$wgDebugLogFile = "/var/www/bluespice/debug-{$wgDBname}.log";

$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['(all)']['autocreateaccount'] = true;

$wgDebugLogGroups['PluggableAuth'] =

$wgDebugLogGroups['LDAP'] =

$wgDebugLogGroups['MediaWiki\\Extension\\LDAPProvider\\Client'] =

$wgDebugLogGroups['LDAPGroups'] =

$wgDebugLogGroups['LDAPUserInfo'] =

$wgDebugLogGroups['LDAPAuthorization'] = '/tmp/LDAP.log';

I would like to emphasize that $wgGroupPermissions['*']['autocreateaccount'] = true; is set and thus auto-account creation to group (all) should be set. However, when checking the "Special:ListGroupRights" page on my wiki, it says group (all) has no rights whatsoever. Is this a peculiarity of BlueSpice?

Also, I can't really seem to get the debug logs for the extensions working somehow (despite setting valid file paths in the wgDebugLogGroups variables, so a pointer on how to set them up to deliver necessary information to debug this would be awesome.

Thanks for reading and your help!

This is probably due to the BlueSpice "role-permission-system". You might need to add

$GLOBALS['bsgPermissionConfig']['autocreateaccount'] = [ 'type' => 'global', "roles" => [ 'autocreateaccount' ] ];
$GLOBALS['bsgGroupRoles']['*']['autocreateaccount'] = true;

to your LocalSettings.php file.

That was exactly it :)

Thank you very much!
