whole version of this tutorial does not explain either. why ldap password is needed? may be it is not required? for what it can be used?
Topic on Talk:Gerrit/Tutorial/tl;dr
@Qdinar Where does some page (which one) talk about an "LDAP password" (!) at all? Please be more specific. Also note that the terms "LDAP account", "account on wikitech.wikimedia.org", "account on gerrit.wikimedia.org" are more or less the same thing in this context.
the page this discussion is for. quote: "Also add your public key to LDAP using any of: the wikitech NovaKey page * toolsadmin interface". thank you for saying that gerrit account is same with wikitech account. i thought that i am not registered there. and, i have found my mistake. it is not ldap password, but ldap key. is not it the same key which i added in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/settings/ ? i will check by myself. i see that https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/profile/settings/ssh-keys/ is empty. and https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:NovaKey is also empty. and btw i have found out that https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/auth/login/ says "ldap username" and "password".
@AKlapper (WMF), can you say (do you know?), why ldap key, or keys for pages https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/profile/settings/ssh-keys/ and https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:NovaKey are needed? are they all same?
