Topic on Extension talk:LDAPProvider

Summary by Wikiphpnoob

looks since the office is more making a move towards Azure/Entra for authentication, so will our wiki site. So there may be a chance I will be posing questions in those article topic sections soon. wish me luck

Wikiphpnoob (talkcontribs)

i keep trying to reach out, but i guess SME's are otherwise engaged. so i'll try again.

i completely wiped out my previous build and started over.

I'm on Windows Server 2016 ( i know its not supported), with IIS 10

Installed software

Product Version

MediaWiki 1.39.6

PHP 8.3.4 (cgi-fcgi)

MySQL 8.3.0

ICU 72.1

LDAPAuthorization 2.0.5 (ccd20da) 08:59, 4 March 2024

LDAPGroups 2.0.5 (956a438) 19:08, 4 March 2024

PluggableAuth 7.1.0 (1884a12) 06:36, 4 March 2024

I am able to log in locally. I cannot authenticate over LDAP

I attempt to log in over LDAP using my samaccountname ID - firstname.lastname and get Could not authenticate credentials against domain "ACME.ORG"

LDAPAuthentication2 log shows - 2024-04-02 18:19:06 SERVER acmewiki: Could not bind to LDAP domain with given user: firstname.lastname

PluggableAuth log shows:

2024-04-02 18:19:06 SERVER acmewiki: In execute()

2024-04-02 18:19:06 SERVER acmewiki: Getting PluggableAuth instance

2024-04-02 18:19:06 SERVER acmewiki: Plugin name: LDAPAuthentication2

2024-04-02 18:19:06 SERVER acmewiki: Authentication failure.

2024-04-02 18:19:06 SERVER acmewiki: ERROR: Could not authenticate credentials against domain "ACME.ORG"


I also get [authentication] Login failed in primary authentication by MediaWiki\Extension\PluggableAuth\PrimaryAuthenticationProvider


i can succesfully run showuserinfo.php, ShowUserGroups.php, CheckConnection.php. BUT CheckLogin.php shows FAILED

i can perform a simple bind using LDP.exe using the ldap bind service account and using my samaccountname ID - firstname.lastname

i have been running update.php and resetarting IIS when making changes

here are scrubbed LocalSettings and ldapprovider.json:

also seeing from $wgDebugLogFile some entries...

>checkLDAPLogin/MediaWiki\Auth\AuthManager->setAuthenticationSessionData/MediaWiki\Session\Session->setSecret/MediaWiki\Session\Session->set/MediaWiki\Session\SessionBackend->dirty [LDAPProvider] Setting LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION to 3 [LDAPProvider] Setting LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS to 0 [LDAPProvider] Setting LDAP_OPT_DEREF to 1 [LDAPProvider] MediaWiki\Extension\LDAPProvider\Client::getSearchString: User DN is: 'CN=firstname.lastname,DC=ACME,DC=ORG'


which i believe at a minimum, it shows successful validation of a username using LDAP

What do the debug logs?

Regarding the $wgGroupPermissions: If you want to have per-namespace permissions, please check out Extension:Lockdown

Wikiphpnoob (talkcontribs)

@Osnard

if there are other logs i need to set up, or have done so incorrectly, please help

I have this set up at the bottom of my LocalSettings:

$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;

$wgDebugToolbar = true;

$wgDebugLogGroups['PluggableAuth'] = 'C:/Windows/Temp/PLUG.log';

$wgDebugLogGroups['LDAP'] = 'C:/Windows/Temp/ldap1.log';

$wgDebugLogGroups['MediaWiki\\Extension\\LDAPProvider\\Client'] = 'C:/Windows/Temp/ldapprovider.log';

$wgDebugLogGroups['LDAPGroups'] = 'C:/Windows/Temp/LDAPGroups.log';

$wgDebugLogGroups['LDAPUserInfo'] = 'C:/Windows/Temp/LDAPUser.log';

$wgDebugLogGroups['LDAPAuthentication2'] = 'C:/Windows/Temp/LDAPAuthentication2.log';

$wgDebugLogGroups['LDAPAuthorization'] = 'C:/Windows/Temp/LDAP.log';

$wgDebugLogFile = 'C:/Windows/Temp/Debug.log';


only Debug, LDAPAuthentication2 and PLUG log files are collecting logs

LDAPAuthentication2:

Are there no log messages (e.g. in C:/Windows/Temp/ldap1.log) that look like this?

ldap_bind( ...
# returns ...
Wikiphpnoob (talkcontribs)

no, there is no ldap1 log file created

Osnard (talkcontribs)

What about C:/Windows/Temp/ldapprovider.log? Is such a log message in any of the other logs you have wired?

Wikiphpnoob (talkcontribs)

negative
