The way we do it on our Mantis bugtracker is to use the
LDAP server
for all logins. Something like that for MediaWiki would do the job

Yes, we use the LDAPAuthentication extension for MediaWiki. But usernames on the login
page still must be "foo" rather than "foo(a)companyname.com".com". Hence the
JavaScript to remove @.*.
