Hi, I searched through the board but I couldn't find an answer to this, sorry if its been covered already, I'm brand new to this.
I have a group of around 100 people, and I would like to make it so that they are the only ones who can view and edit the wiki, how can I do this? Is there a setting where I can review the email addresses of people that create accounts on the wiki, before they are allowed to view anything except the homepage or edit anything?
Also, a friend of mine downloaded the software and installed it on his computer before putting it on his website. I'm basiclly the one incharge of the wiki (God help us all), is this going to cause me problems as the admin?
Thanks for any help.
Jake

This might be a good subject for the Enterprise list.
I installed the HttpAuthPlugin module and set it to honor existing HTTP auth. Be sure to look at its Talk page for the list of needed patches to make it work.

I'm using Apache's LDAP auth provider to do the actual login using Active Directory credentials.
Apache config looks like this (assuming AD domain is ad.example.lan and a user "apache" exists in AD to search the directory):
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com ServerName wiki.example.com ServerAlias wiki.example.lan DocumentRoot /srv/wiki </VirtualHost>
<Directory /srv/wiki/MediaWiki> AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthType Basic AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off AuthName "EXAMPLEWiki" AuthLDAPURL "ldap://ad.example.lan:389/CN=Users,DC=ad,DC=example,DC=lan?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=*)" NONE AuthLDAPBindDN "CN=apache,CN=Users,DC=ad,DC=example,DC=lan" AuthLDAPBindPassword apache require valid-user </Directory>

The LDAP Authentication plugin is good for this as well, if you want to be a little more granular:
