Greetings,
I have an existing MySQL database for my customer portal website which includes
customers' account info (usernames, and passwords).
Now, I am configuring my MediaWiki on another machine in the same LAN for customers. How
could I make use of the existing customer portal MySQL database for my MW user
authentication?
It seems the extension "Auth viaMySQL" could do a similar job, but it's for
the same website (same machine), requires special login/logout script files for the
website, and does NOT tell where/how to connect the existing database.
What's the trick to use this extension for a MW on a different machine? Or, is there
another way to do user authentication over MySQL?
Thanks in advance,
Ross
