1. Does MediaWike integrate with AD and/or SiteMinder.
I found a
little information on the WEB site on AD but I wanted to
check and also see if people have done it. Also how
difficult it is to do. I've spoke with several people that
just use the internal logon.
The LDAP Authentication plugin
(
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication) supports
Active Directory (AD).
Depending on how knowledgable you are with AD, it can be easy or very
hard. Follow the configuration examples
(
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication/Configurati
on_Examples), and take a look at some of the user provided documentation
about using SSL with AD
(
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication#Trusting_se
lf-signed_SSL_certificates - look at the links at the end of that
section).
You may want to talk to your AD admin about this before you get started.
