To my knowledge, there is no way to "map" the accounts (I could be wrong). Though I did this same move (To LDAP) a few years back and I'll tell you what I did:
Setup the LDAP, get that working for your admin user. Then add Extension:RenameUser [1] . Then rename all your users from their old account names, to what it will be in LDAP (before they get to login). If you've got a lot of users, this will suck, but you only have to do it once. -Jon [1] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Renameuser On Fri, Sep 3, 2010 at 13:31, Tech Geek <[email protected]> wrote: > We have been using mediawiki 1.12 in our organization for over a year now. > Users create their account and starting using wiki.
