Hi all,
I asked this question a few months back and I am hoping someone has come across a way to do it.
Basically, my wiki will sit at the URL wiki.domain.com. My users come to www.domain.com http://www.domain.com/ and log in, and I store a persisten cookie for domain.com that contains their domain username.
Since this is true, is there a way to have it so that when a user clicks on the link to the wiki from www.domain.com http://www.domain.com/ , mediawiki will check the cookie, extract the username and authenticate the user to the wiki using that same username? (creating appropriate tables in the mediawiki db, etc). Note: the wiki is on a separate machine from the main domain, so I can't use REMOTE_USER variable.
Thanks for any insight and feedback.
