The new Invisionboard allow external member database authentication. I am trying to link it to my wiki member database. I was able to authenticate against Drupals (blogger) database and another Invisionboard using this code. However, it is not working for mediawiki database.

I hope to use this method to bridge several sites into 1 community of members. Can someone help me with the database queries on the mediawiki side? See link below for the authentication code. My guess is that the member names and passwords are encrypted differently on mediawiki.

MediaWiki Passwords are stored in the database using wfEncryptPassword (GlobalFunctions.php) wich return:

md5( $userid.'-'.md5($password) );

where userid is the database identifier user_id.
