Ldap error

Hi,

 This is Sesha. I am using Ldap authentication (Last version	2.0d (2012-11-21)).

 I have created my login id and added to the groups (bureaucrat, administrator) .

 
 Issues: 

 1. As i am ADMIN, i couldn't able to add any users to mediawiki, until they do login with their ldap authentication.

 2. After users have been added, i couldn't able to manage the groups of the users. it shows an error as "You do not have permission to edit user rights on other wikis"

 Can you please let me know the fix as earlier as possible.


THanks
Sesha

For 2 you probably want to change $wgUserrightsInterwikiDelimiter to something else. I doubt you're planning to use the userrights-interwiki feature.

Comment 3 Alex Monk 2013-07-29 10:03:10 UTC
There's a feature we have in MediaWiki core which allows you to set userrights across wikis. Assuming you have only one wiki this is useless to you. (and if you were using it you wouldn't get this error anyway because you'd have the permission assigned)

It determines the target database name by looking at the part of the string after {$wgUserrightsInterwikiDelimiter}. It defaults to '@' so if you somehow managed to make a user with @ in it's name, setting their userrights will be broken unless you change $wgUserrightsInterwikiDelimiter.

I don't see any bugs here. #1 is a known issue that I have no plans on fixing. If you want your users pre-populated, run a script to pull all users and add them via a maintenance script while LdapAuth is disabled, then re-enable it.

Hi Ryan,

 Thanks for your reply. 

 How about issue#2?

Thanks 
Sesha

And also how to restrict the users to login themselves and create account?
Comment 7 Ryan Lane 2013-07-29 22:41:57 UTC
None of these things are bugs. Ask on the wiki's discussion page for ldap auth.
Comment 8 sesha 2013-07-30 05:54:38 UTC

Comment 9 Ryan Lane 2013-07-30 05:59:15 UTC
I do not provide support through bugzilla. As mentioned go to the discussion page on the wiki.
Comment 10 Andre Klapper 2013-07-30 11:01:06 UTC
sesha: As written in comment 7 already:
Ask on the wiki's discussion page for ldap auth.

Bugzilla is not a support channel.
