Hi,
I am trying to find a way to autologin users who register or login to
Mediawiki to also be registered and logged into another application's
user database in order to save them a second registration. I have
found many extensions that do it the other way round (from another
application automatically into MW), but not this case. Does anyone
have a suggestion on how to go about doing this?
The second application is a php based web app with its own, very
simple security model. It just needs username, password and email
address.
Some use cases:
#1
1. New user fills in registration page in MW
2. a) MW registers user in MW database
2. b) MW registers user in second, external (but local) database
3. User is logged into MW and logged into external application
#2
1. Existing user logs into MW
2. MW automatically logs user into other application
#3
1. User logs out of MW
2. MW logs out user from other application
#4
1. User changes password in MW
2. MW updates password in other database
(there could be a variation of this use case if users use 'forgot
password' and similar)
Thanks,
Andi
