[edit] MediaWiki 1.9.4
To get this extension to work with MediaQiki 1.9.4 I made a couple of horrid hacks because of this error:
Internal error
<password-change-forbidden>
Backtrace:
#0 /var/www/default/mediawiki-1.9.4/includes/User.php(1332): User::setPassword()
#1 /var/www/default/mediawiki-1.9.4/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(311): User->setPassword('')
#2 /var/www/default/mediawiki-1.9.4/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(352): LoginForm->initUser(Object(User))

#7 /var/www/default/mediawiki-1.9.4/index.php(4): require_once('/var/www/defaul...')
#8 {main}
The horrid hacks:
Line 111 of ./extensions/Auth_remoteuser.php change the false from:
function allowPasswordChange() { return false; }
to:
function allowPasswordChange() { return true; }
Same for line 124:
function setPassword($user, $password) { return false; }
to:
function setPassword($user, $password) { return true; }
