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 On 11/11/06, Simon Renshaw <simon(a)benchmarkconsulting.com> wrote:

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

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? Sasha

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. -- Utkarshraj Atmaram http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Utcursch

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

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: Single login specifications: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Single_login_specifications Original (now inactive) proposal: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposal_on_language_integration Original post on mailing list: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/intlwiki-l/2002-December/001259.html -- Utkarshraj Atmaram http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Utcursch
