Testwiki

NURDs Inventory
Owner	The wikipage input value is empty (e.g. <code>SomeProperty::, [[]]</code>) and therefore it cannot be used as a name or as part of a query condition.
Status
Tool
Tool category

{{{Name}}}Property "Tool Name" (as page type) with input value "{{{Name}}}" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process. Property "Tool Image" (as page type) with input value "File:{{{Picture}}}" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process. {{{Picture}}} User:FwD {{{Location}}}Property "Tool Location" (as page type) with input value "{{{Location}}}" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.

On this VM I'll create a duplicate of the actual Wiki to test how hooking it up to the LDAP will turn out.

• Files copied from the real wiki (/root/filestmp)
• Files put in /var/www/
• Database dumped from the real wiki
• Database put in /root/backup.sql
• Database and files in place, wiki working (http://testwiki.nurdspace.lan/)
• Ldap plugin installed and working
• Current problem: the mediawiki login system converts the first character of the username you feed it to uppercase, possibly due to restrictions on usernames. See /tmp/debug.log for this error (when logging in as 'fwd'):

• Possible solutions:
  • Use the read-user for the lookups and enable $wgLDAPLowerCaseUsername
  • Try $wgLDAPLowercaseUsernameScheme (requires all lowercase users in LDAP, which is currently not the case)
• Turns out $wgLDAPLowerCaseUsername does more than advertised, it converts input usernames completely to lowercase. However, now the skin starts bugging:

• and it still won't log in with a correct userdn:
