Step1:
First download
the LDAP extension from MediaWikiExtension
and follow the instructions given on the same page.
Step2.
For running
the command “ php maintenance/update.php” it’s a little trick, because sometime
it happens that PHP is not configured in path variable to run on command prompt, so for
this follow this article.
Step3
Configure the
LDAP settings in your localsettings.php, that’s a little hack, first follow the
instructions mentioned in this article,
actually this is the same author's blog which wrote the plugin, so it’s very
informative.
Step4
If you got the error of “Unable
to start TLS: Server is unavailable” then use the following code:
$wgLDAPEncryptionType =
array("group"=>"clear");
Where “group” will be replaced by the same string
used in the ldap settings in localsettings.php file. Usually it’s a domain name
in LDAP string for instance:
group.root.gp
Step 5
Enjoy the LDAP login!!!
