I can't get it to create a new account for the local database not coming in from LDAP but from the www, any user trying to login but must create an account.

We both local accounts in MediaWiki and domain authenticated accounts. The way this works is people have to choose the appropriate authentication scheme in a drop-down. I'm sure the UI could be redesigned though to first check one and then the other so people didn't have to choose. Absolutely. We both local accounts in MediaWiki and domain authenticated accounts.

Can some users be authenticated via the domain - SSL/LDAP/Active Directory and some able to access the wiki, make an account, from the web?

I was curious as to whether SSL was essential, and found this post that suggests it is (http://www.librarywebchic.net/wordpress/2006/04/20/wikiperiments/).

Configuring the mod_ldap module in the Apache server and converting all access to SSL made this integration painless, once I figured out how to build Apache to use OpenLDAP and Secure LDAP. For MediaWiki, the Mediawiki LDAP Extension worked flawlessly. The key problem with Mediawiki is that there is no mechanism built in to ensure that logins are performed via SSL. A quick rewrite rule in the Apache server took care of this for me. A complete explanation of this process can be found at Library Web Chic.

I got my wiki site authenticating users from LDAP, but I want to restrict them to SSL. Apache is already configured, but I wasn't sure how to configure MediaWiki. I'll take a look at your apache configuration and port it to my installation. Thanks for the information on LDAP and SSL.

However, it has not been easy to use for the librarians. Formating text, such as making headers, lists, and links, requires the use of some special syntax. It's not entirely simple or intuitive. I might as well just teach them html! I'd like to hear how that goes for you. (Perhaps there is a WYSIWYG plugin or something that I haven't come across.) We’re trying to use MediaWiki as well.
