There is some good information at http://wiki.case.edu/CaseWiki:External_Authentication that might be helpful to check out which we used to help build the same.

Hello and apologies in advance if this has been covered indepth elsewhere...

I have implemented a wiki site for work using the normal builtin authentication. My company, however, offers a domain wide single sign-on platform. To participate, an application checks for the existence of a particular cookie. If it exists and is still valid, authentication is allowed using the user details in that cookie.

However, if it does not exist, has expired, or is otherwise invalid, the application is supposed to redirect the user to a central site to authenticate themselves. Upon successful authentication, the cookie is created/updated and the user is redirected back to the application.

I glanced through AuthPlugin.php, and I can see how to tie in the actual checking of the cookie, but I can not clearly see the best way to handle redirects to the external site. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
