Hi,
Just found out about this list today.
I run about 5 Wikis at the office. Quite useful.
What I find annoying is that we have to create a login on each Wiki. Is there a way to consolidate all the logins or having the Wikis use the windows credentials of the users?
My Wikis are running on Windows 2003, IIS 6, PHP 5.0.5 and MySQL 5.0.22.
Thanks! Simon
You can try the Mediawiki LDAP Authentication extension: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LDAP_Authentication

My understanding is that Mediawikis can also share all User account/preference information. So a user on "meta" can also use the same preference info on English wikipedia, German Wikipedia and so on. Did I get that right?

No. Creating an account on English Wikipedia or Meta doesn't create a cross-wiki account. For instance, if you have an account on English Wikipedia, you will have to create a separate account for German Wikipedia.
Though we don't use multiple wikis in our organization, we are using LDAP authentication for our wiki.

Brion Vibber- described a plan to consoladate such wiki accounts. Maybe I misunderstood?

Yes, Brion has a plan. He's committed to this project, which (I hope) is currently in progress. But, I don't think anything concrete is available yet. Here's some information:

There are a bunch of us that are interested in "single sign on". I believe this is in the latest Mediawiki releases. Not sure if it's documented anywhere? Anyone?
Thanks, Sasha
