One of the show stoppers, at least as near as I can

our use of SiteMinder for user auth. I'm wondering how difficult
it would be to get MediaWiki to play with it.
I don't know the details of it, but there is an "AuthPlugin" facility
in MediaWiki for exactly this kind of task; I know that one successful
implementation uses an LDAP server to do the user authentication.
See
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Authentication and the pages linked
from there, and includes/AuthPlugin.php in the source for more
details.
