Hi Stefan,
why not just using https ?
Cheers, Jimmy

Hello everybody,
I am using Mediawiki 1.67 with Apache and PHP5 and my question is about an encrypted user authentication. I want to make sure that user name and password cannot be seen when e.g. wiki users use public wireless LAN hotspots.
I found
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Otheus/Auto_Login_via_REMOTE_USER
but it seems to be rather complicated. Is the article above still up to date or has Mediawiki 1.7 this feature which I have simply to enable via LocalSettings.php? What do you think is the easiest way to get the authentication encrypted?
Many thanks, Stefan Mueller
