We are currently using a single sign on system which sets the HTTP_AUTH variable via an Apache plugin. I have a requirement to tie this into the MediaWiki tool. Plus I need to have auto login, since the users all must be authenticated before accessing the wiki tool.
After trying unsuccessfully to use the AuthPlugin.php piece, I came up with a hack which appears to work. The hack is replacing the IP address piece with the username.
The change is in the includes/Setup.php file, by changing the _SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] to _SERVER['HTTP_AUTH']
Any reason why this won't work? My test bed everything seems cool. Also is there a way to do an auto login so this shows up when they first hit the initial page?
Thanks,
