MachineA is my customer portal website, and is using a mysql database for user login. MachineB is my MediaWiki, and its main website does NOT need any authentication. What I want is to make use of the user account database on MachineA for my MW's authentication on MachineB.
Is the auth plugin used for this kind of scenario?
yes, that is exactly what it is intended for. it can use pretty much any authentication mechanism, on any machine.
