LDAP = Database = Oracle
Lots of companies use LDAP authentication and as such a lot of people want to integrate the wiki logon with LDAP data. This sounds like exactly what you want just with an Oracle database. I have never done this before so I can't really offer any more advice apart from saying the answer is in the archives.

Hi, I have quick question. Sorry to keep bugging you.
I am not that great with this LDAP connection and what it really does. How does this apply to the question that I've asked?
My initial thought was that, correct me if I am wrong, I need to make connection to Oracle database somewhere. Then get the user information and set it as user session/cookie using functions that is built in Media Wiki somwhere, which I have to find where that is...
Am I approaching it wrong?
Thanks.

I am searching into it right now, but it seems like it is so hard to find for each year's archive. Is there any other way to get some idea? Or if you were in my situation, what would be your call?

as a guide for making an Oracle "connector".

Oh.. OK.. Thanks. I will look into it. I didn't even know there was an archive. So hard to find where things are... such a newbie... ha.. Have a nice day.

I imagine this will be similar to LDAP integration; you should
search
the mailing list archives for that as there have been numerous

about it.

Hi everyone,
I am new to this mailing list. Please bare with my explanation
and
if
any one can give me a suggestion or direction, it would be really appreciated.
Here is a problem that I am encountered with.
Currently, I am builing a media wiki in my company's intranet site
with
version 1.53.
What I have to do is that I need to use user information from
Oracle
at
login.
All other data, such as user's post, reply, and other user
interacted
materials will be stored in MySql.
How should I proceed this? I have no clue where to start.
All the db handle codes are depended to each other strictly for
MySql
and it seems like there is no way that I can adjust the code to implement
the
Oracle db interaction.
Does anyone has any idea?
Thank you for your time.
Regards, Young
