By default LDAPProvider looks for this file in /etc/mediawiki/ldapprovider.json. If LDAProvider is installed, but cannot find it configuration file, it will fail with an error message. LDAPProvider contains a sample configuration file that points to the [Forum Systems](http://www.forumsys.com/) [online ldap test server](http://www.forumsys.com/tutorials/integration-how-to/ldap/online-ldap-test-server/) in the included `ldapprovider.json`. This file and the server (if it is accessible on your network) will allow you to test the extension without affecting production systems or configuring your own LDAP server. The contents of `ldapprovider.json` demonstrates a minimal configuration: ``` { "LDAP Demo": { "connection": { "server": "10.5.5.1", "user": "cn=read-only-admin,dc=example,dc=com", "pass": "password", "basedn": "dc=example,dc=com", "searchstring": "uid=USER-NAME,dc=example,dc=com" } } ``` Other configurations are possible. If you just want to try out the sample configuration, adding the following to your LocalSettings.php should be all that is needed: ``` $LDAPProviderDomainConfigs = "$IP/extensions/LDAPProvider/ldapprovider.json"; ``` #### Alternative configuration via PHP [](#alternative-configuration-via-php) In `LocalSettings.php` add ``` $LDAPProviderDomainConfigProvider = function( $ldapConfig ) { return new \MediaWiki\Extension\LDAPProvider\DomainConfigProvider\InlinePHPArray( [ //Domain name 'LDAP' => [ 'connection' => [ 'server' => '10.5.5.1', 'user' => 'cn=read-only-admin,dc=example,dc=com', 'pass' => 'password', 'basedn' => 'dc=example,dc=com', 'searchstring' => 'uid=USER-NAME,dc=example,dc=com' ] ] ] ); }; ``` ### Testing [](#testing) Tests are provided. These can be run using the following in your MediaWiki's installation directory: $ ./tests/phpunit/phpunit.php extensions/LDAPProvider ### Health Score 54 — FairBetter than 97% of packages Maintenance88 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity22 Limited adoption so far Community24 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity74 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
