Aspiring Contractor Questions

1st Aspiring Contractor

Contractor
Can you provide a test user for login so that I can replicate the issue?
Natalia
Here is a test entry in order to access the Wiki at: https://pravka.bskol.com
  • login Umang
  • password ciMyPR88
Contractor
Can you provide me OpenLDAP server access so that I can check the logs and troubleshoot?
Natalia
As for the 2nd request, the problem is not with LDAP, but that MediaWiki cannot create a local record. There is no need to do anything at all with our LDAP server). Everything works fine in other applications. In addition, we have an old version of the Wiki, we would like to update it.
Contractor
What is your approx budget for this project? For update current OpenLDAP login system or replace it with a new one, with end to end testing?
Natalia
It is better to ask Igor about the budget. For me, the less, the better. But you can also ask the contractor, since he offers his services. What is his work budget?
Contractor
It seems you are using a custom code for LDAP authentication, unfortunately, I cannot help with this.
Natalia
We use a special plugin that does not work in the new version of MediaWiki. To configure the LDAP, you can use what you are used to. Which plugin do you use?



2nd Aspiring Contractor(G.S)

Kevin
Have you had a look at what this project entails through the following link? https://wiki.cnmcyber.com/en/CNM_MediaWiki?
Contractor
Hi, yes I tried to visit the site but it's giving DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error so can you please check?
Kevin
Try this link. From my end it works perfectly https://wiki.cnmcyber.com/en/CNM_MediaWiki
Contactor
That's strange. On my Wifi it's showing NXDOMAIN error but when opening the site using Opera VPN it's working fine. Ok, so I looked at the page and can work on fixing the "Auto-creation of local account failed" error linked to LDAP and on issues highlighted in the File repository subsection.
Also, if you want me to install extensions I can do so as mentioned in the Security section, and fix the file upload permission as mentioned in the Upload security section. So please let me know if you have any question.
Natalia
Yes, we have version 1.31.1. But we would like to configure LDAP login on the latest version. Can you do it?
Contractor
Yes, I can do that on the latest version. Is it on the same domain "wiki.cnmcyber.com" or some other?
Natalia
It doesn't matter. Any other domain name can be used for experiments. How much time will it take to do this job.
Contractor
It can take around 5-6 hours to resolve the issue because I first need to find out the reason behind it and then apply fixes accordingly.
Kevin
Hello, I hope you are well. Apart from MediaWiki, we have other projects we need assistance with. Are you available for a brief meeting later in the day?

5th Aspiring Contractor

Kevin
Hello!

I'd like to invite you to take a look at the job I've posted. Please submit a proposal if you're available and interested.

Contractor
Hi Kevin, Thanks for inviting me for the opportunity!!

I would like to fix the issue you are facing with your MediaWiki website. I would request you to share complete details for better understanding. Thanks,

Kevin
Thank you for your quick response.

Are you familiar with PHP, LDAP and MediaWiki?

Contractor
Hi Kevin,

Yes I have experience in PHP and MediaWiki. I did not use LDAP before because I have managed this kind of things by using separate user accounts, but I have idea about it as LDAP is a protocol used for accessing and managing directory information. In the context of MediaWiki, LDAP integration allows users to authenticate and access the wiki using their LDAP credentials, such as usernames and passwords, instead of creating separate user accounts within the wiki system. Normally I have done more work on extensions which we can do with configuration of LocalSettings.php file and apply them

Kevin
Thank you for your response. I would like to set up a meeting with our IT expert, our customer and I for further discussions.

When is the best time for you?

Contractor

Kevin
