RE: [Mediawiki-l] NTLM authentication for MediaWiki

Thanks Jamie. From quickly looking at it I *think* AuthPlugin is designed to operate through the normal logon process. I'm bypassing that and transparently authenticating against NTLM (for Intranet users - Internet users will be prompted for a domain username and password).

If anyone's planning on using the code below I just found out that it breaks the preferences screen. The way to fix that is to set cookies by adding: //set cookies with this info to make life easier for us in the future global $wgCookieExpiration, $wgCookiePath, $wgCookieDomain, $wgDBname; $exp = time() + $wgCookieExpiration; setcookie( $wgDBname.'UserID', $row['user_id'], $exp, $wgCookiePath, $wgCookieDomain ); setcookie( $wgDBname.'UserName', $row['user_name'], $exp, $wgCookiePath, $wgCookieDomain ); setcookie( $wgDBname.'Token', $row['user_token'], $exp, $wgCookiePath, $wgCookieDomain );

immediately underneath: //set the variables we need to transparently authenticate $sId = $row['user_id']; $_SESSION['wsUserID'] = $row['user_id']; $_SESSION['wsUserName'] = $row['user_name']; $_SESSION['wsToken'] = $row['user_token'];

Check AuthPlugin.php, as that may let you do it.

Based on a post from David Cameron (19 Feb 2005) I've hacked up the following modification to loadFromSession (in User.php) which allows authentication against our NTLM database (based on the variable AUTH_USER passed from IIS).

I'm trying to avoid hacking the code for 1.4 so if you know a way to

achieve

this without modifying User.php (or another core file) then feedback would be most appreciated.
