LDAP access for group 'nda' for Tobias Schumann (WMDE)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I would like to request access to the LDAP group nda to get access to pivot. I'm working in WMDE's fundraising team and want to access banner impression data.

I already created a wikitech account (that is linked to my mediawiki.org account and to this phabricator account), but I still need to sign the nda.

WikiTech/LDAP user name: Tobias Schumann (WMDE)

Thanks for your help!

Tobias's NDA is fully signed and on file with legal. Thank you!

Hi @Tobias_Schumann_WMDE

re: WikiTech/LDAP user name: Tobias Schumann (WMDE)

I don't think this can be the Wikitech user name, i can't find any matching Wikitech user in Mediawiki nor with the command-line LDAP tools.

I'll try to search by email, or if you can double check what it shows when you are logged in on wikitech.wikimedia.org.

Thanks

Yea, i can't find the string "schumann" (from email address) anywhere in LDAP.

Note how it says "LDAP User unknown" on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Tobias_Schumann_WMDE/ and it's linked to Mediawiki.

Wikitech wiki isn't a SUL wiki, it uses the LDAP as backend.

Can you double-check you can login on wikitech and if not register on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org and pick a user name there?

Hi @Dzahn

I checked again and I could login. Maybe it's because with and without "_". I logged in with "Tobias Schumann WMDE" but according to my user page the user name actually is "Tobias_Schumann_WMDE" (see: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Tobias_Schumann_(WMDE)).

The unknown LDAP user on my Phabricator profile is kind of strange. According to my seetings on https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/ the LDAP account is linked to my phabricator account.

Kind reagrds

Hi @Peachey88 thanks for the hint! It wasn't, but now I created the link. I thought the linkage in LADP is enough. Thanks again.

@Dzahn The Wikitech account is now referred to on my Phabricator account.

I'm sorry, i still can't find any "Tobias" besides 2 other users in the entire LDAP. I see you linked the user but it also says "was created automatically " on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/Tobias_Schumann_(WMDE) . I'm not sure but this seems to be the case when a SUL user is used to login on wikitech rather than creating a new wikitech user. hmm...

@Andrew helped me and was able to find your user name is "tschumann". That is the "uid" that i needed to add to the group. It looks like this:

cn: Tobias Schumann (WMDE)
sn: Tobias Schumann (WMDE)
uid: tschumann

You have been added to the group now. Things should work.

@Dzahn Sorry to open that again. I do not succeed to log in into Pivot. Could it be that this has something to do with the unclarities around my nickname?

"tschumann", "Tobias_Schumann_(WMDE)" nor "Tobias Schumann (WMDE)" worked, though. Do you have an idea?

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2018-04-26T15:18:37Z] <mutante> added LDAP user tschumann to "nda" group (T192549)

@Tobias_Schumann_WMDE

Please try again now. The issue was you had been added to the "wmde" group but not the "nda" group. My bad because we had several requests from other WMDE users that were about the "wmde" group only.

@Dzahn: When adding a user to cn=nda or cn=wmf which doesn't have production shell access, they need to be added to the ldap_only_users table in modules/admin/data/data.yaml, reopening the ticket.
