John,
I have something what relies on a detected IP address (gethostbyaddr() =
something), see
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1360
Auto-login / Auto-account-creation by hostname for intranet MediaWikis .
There is no uploaded patch (yet), but it is easy.
Please can you check, if this can be useful for you ?
Tom

To get to where my wiki is, the user has to have

as a unique individual through a kerberized .htaccess method. What I
want is for the wiki to then see the existing "johndoe" user that had
logged in to the .htaccess method and understand that it is the same
user as the wiki's "johndoe".
My current wiki (TikiWiki) has this functionality by simply setting
"Authentication Method" on its "Login" admin pane to "Web
Server". I
had to add the users by hand (with no password), but that's it -- the
user can't even logout as the web server's authentication is still in
effect.
