Extension:WSOAuth/uk

The WSOAuth extension (Wikibase Solutions OAuth) provide authentication using an OAuth provider. It provides a layer on top of the PluggableAuth extension to enable authentication via OAuth.

The following OAuth providers are currently available by default:


 * MediaWiki (MediaWiki instance running OAuth)
 * Facebook

WSOAuth makes it easy to add new OAuth providers. You can read more about how to add a new OAuth provider on WSOAuth for Developers.

An example of the for multiple providers is as follows:

Group synchronisation
To configure group synchronisation, you need to add a  array to the   array. This array must contain zero or more sub-arrays that specify how groups are synced. For detailed information, see Extension:PluggableAuth.

The most common use-case is to synchronise all groups, which can be achieved using the  group synchronisation algorithm. The configuration below will achieve similar functionality to older version of WSOAuth (<= 8.0.0).

OAuth providers
Currently, the following OAuth providers are supported:

Upgrading from before 6.0
The database schema had to be changed in order to support multiple authentication providers after version 6.0. If you are running a MediaWiki instance with a version of WSOAuth older than 6.0, you must migrate your existing external users to the new database schema if you want to upgrade.

You can use the maintenance script  located in the extension's   folder to migrate:

The  option in the example above determines which provider to migrate existing users to.
