@sysadmins:

I confirm that there is a problem with top bar of the sympa page (iirc the login link was in the top bar)

Also reported here: https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/sysadmin-discuss/2015-10/msg00044.html

According to neoclust it could be that Sympa can't reach LDAP.

    Revert lint fix on sympa auth.conf to get back login fields (mga#17009)
    
    sympa does not seem to parse auth.conf properly if there is no extra
    newline at the end of file.
    
    Matching code in /usr/share/sympa/lib/Conf.pm:
            }elsif (/^\s*(ldap|cas|user_table|generic_sso)\s*$/io) {
                $current_paragraph->{'auth_type'} = lc($1);
    
    perlre man page says the following about the /o modifier in regexps:
    o  - pretend to optimize your code, but actually introduce bugs

Comment 5 Olivier Blin 2015-11-07 02:12:03 CET 
Fixed by adding back an extra newline in the auth.conf file.

Maybe a side-effect of perl's /o modifier for regexps, which is documented as introducing bugs...
