I have a MediaWiki install (v. 1.15.3) and I'd like to be able to use an in-house single sign-on system that we have to authenticate users and log them into the wiki. I've started down the path of using AuthPlugin for this, but I'm stuck at one point. Right now I've got it working such that when a user goes to the wiki we check our SSO system to see if they are logged in and have the right role (sounds like LDAP right? sadly, it's not). If so, we allow them into the wiki. If not, we take them to our SSO sign-in page, they log in, then get directed to the wiki. If they log in but don't have the right role they are shown an error message. I want this to be the auth flow, rather than using the MW login page, so that's all fine. The problem is that I can't figure out how to get MW to auto-create accounts for these users and log them in when they are sent back to the wiki. They just end up back there as a logged-out anonymous user. I've looked at the following resources but I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/AuthPlugin http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/classAuthPlugin.html http://wiki.case.edu/CaseWiki:External_Authentication I guess I just don't know what functions I'm supposed to implement myself to do account creation and login on the MW side, and I don't know what the best practices are for calling those. Thanks in advance for any insights you can give me :) -- Owen B.
