yes, that is exactly what it is intended for. it can use pretty much any authentication mechanism, on any machine.
Sorry, I still don't get it, acctually am more confusing. On the auth plugin page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/AuthPlugin, it tells two kinds of plugins -- one is "Existing authentication plugins", and the other is "Creating new authentication plugins". The first one directs to Category:User identity extensions, which includes all different kind of extensions (and the Auth viaMySQL extension). The second one asks people to "write your own plugin", which is obviously not what I could do because I am not good at PHP coding. So, which one matches my need most? Thanks, Ross
