Thank you for your hint and advice.
We are currently on MediaWiki 1.26,
considering migration to 1.27 LTS and struggling a little bit with our
SimpleSAMLAuth implemantation and the changes in session management of
MediaWiki 1.27+. But this is another projekt. ;)
Very helpful to know that there is a supported alternative which I will
definitely look into.

You don't mention which version of MediaWiki you're using, but if you
plan on upgrading to a supported version (1.27+) then you should really
consider switching to SimpleSAMLphp and PluggableAuth[1].
The author, Cindy Cicalese[2] is the product manager for the MediaWiki
Platform team at WMF and, in my experience, has been extremely helpful.
