Add $wgWhitelistEdit = true; to your localsettings.php and that should fix the problem, as it doesn't allow people to create logins.

I've succeeded in getting MediaWiki to authenticate off of vBulletin using an extension of the AuthPlugin.
My problem now is that users still can create MediaWiki accounts. This defeats the whole purpose.
How do I disallow users from creating local MediaWiki accounts? Preferably I'd like to replace the "Retype password...." part of the form with a message telling them where they really need to go to create a password.
Also... I notice that in the AuthPlugin documentation, mention is made of pulling the user's email address from an external source so that MediaWiki can use it. Pulling the email is easy enough, but where do I pass it so that MW can make use of it?
Thanks, Carlton
