Hello,

I've been trying to have my user remotely sign-in through my laravel/react site, but I've been reaching a dead-end.

After reading this post from 2017 : https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/single-sign-on-mechanism-for-laravel-and-mediawiki?page=0

I've followed the step for method 2 from: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login

I've request a login token with the api with a "GET" call of "/api.php?action=query&format=json&meta=tokens&type=login"

and received for example: 

"97b2edb716fa7b13f2955c79e7f8f0205ceda2c6+\\"

Then I "POST" the result with the formData provided: (I am 100% sure those credentials are valid as I can use them to login)

  1. action:
    clientlogin
  2. username:
    TestUser
  3. password: ********
  4. loginrequests:
  5. loginmessageformat:
    wikitext
  6. loginreturnurl:
    http://localhost:3000/
  7. logintoken:
    f90d08a1b279a521d24a4f629b678bb35ceda63d+\
  8. format:
    json

The response that I get back is:

{{{"*": "Unrecognized parameters: username, password."}},{"status": "FAIL","message": "The supplied credentials could not be authenticated.","messagecode": "authmanager-authn-no-primary"}}

What am I missing to correctly remote login a user?

Any help would be appreciated.

Daniel
