Package: mediawiki-extensions-ldapauth Version: 3.7 Severity: grave Tags: newcomer Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, It appears that due to a change in how ldap_connect works in php5-ldap >= 5.6.11 this extension for mediawiki fails to authenticate against ldap servers. Discussion on the bug and possible solution is on the mediawiki wiki https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Sl9i17el9a1g9tv1 For the record, the proposed fix in the discussion of changing rtrim to trim in the file extensions/LdapAuthentication/LdapAuthentication.php worked for me, but i cannot be 100% sure it is secure and "the proper thing to do" This renders this package unusable in stable, testing and unstable, as the sole purpouse of the package is to provide ldap auth. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages mediawiki-extensions-ldapauth depends on: ii mediawiki-extensions-base 3.7 ii php5-ldap 5.6.13+dfsg-0+deb8u1 mediawiki-extensions-ldapauth recommends no packages. mediawiki-extensions-ldapauth suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
