My mediawiki (1.6.10) is setup with custom LDAP
modules to
allow our company's domain controller to validate user login
password authentication. This is very nice because the wiki
is for internal use only and my users don't have the hassle
of having to register with the wiki. They can just log on and
use it. Unfortunately, the wiki does not know their Real
Names and email address (which I can fetch very easily)
My question is:
If I (as the wikidb/site admin) know all the real names and
email address of my company's users, how can I update their
wiki user profiles directly? -- saving them the hassle.
The LDAP Authentication plugin does all of this. If you still wish to
roll your own, you can use that as an example.
