[Mediawiki-l] Authenticating users by NT login?

[johan.boye at latecoere.fr]

Hello guys,

 I used another authentification way : mod_auth_kerb on the Apache side + Mediawiki with SSO plugin (HttpAuthPlugin.php)
 It makes an automatic authentification for all users.

 If you need any other information, do not hesitate to contact me.

    Best regards,

	Johan
