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.
