Not at all. https ensures that only the trusted group
can be using
the
wiki. This is why we trust them to stay logged in to
the wiki. The
whole
point would be moot if apache would inform MW as to my
user and group
from
the https login, so I would never have to do 2 logins:
one for https
and
another for mediawiki. This is the problem I would
really like to see
solved. But in the meantime my workaround question stands. (And
"remember me" doesn't log me in; it just rememebers my name in the
login
screen.)
When you say https, do you mean web server authentication? Using https
does nothing other than ensure that the traffic in between you and the
server is encrypted (it does NOT perform authentication). If you mean
web server authentication, please specify, because I believe this is
causing quite a bit of confusion.
