Thread:Project:Support desk/AuthPlugin extension for external authentication not working. How ?

I inherited an internal wiki that I need/want to hook into a global login web process. I have done this successfully with other wiki software. Discovered AuthPlugin interface, read docs, no that clear on how to. The only coherent example I could find on the web for an external login using AuthPlugin was for Wordpress. So I created a class extending AuthPlugin, required it in LocalSettings.php and instantiated it(new). I know class was read but it does nothing. I see no evidence that my code is being executed for authentication. Below syntax may not be exact, do not have access to code at this moment. require_once("extensions/MyAuth.php"); new MyAuth; What I need is to bypass mediawiki authentication altogether but I need the wiki to identify the user. Any step by step how to's with code and configuration. Perhaps this implementation is not suitable for my needs...

Thanks in advance
