Mediawiki 1.9.3 would not automatically create users until I changed setPassword and allowPasswordChange to return true.

$_SERVER['REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER']
Seemed to work under 1.12pre, once I added near the top of Auth_remoteuser.php: if (!isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'])) $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] = $_SERVER['REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER']; Jlerner 00:55, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Auto login locally?
Hi, I want to implement a Wiki internally at the company I work for and an auto-login function would be very welcome. We're using WinXP machines on DNS and would like a way to automatically pass across winodws credentials of users retrieving any details needed from AD. Is this possible and if so how would I go about doing it? Bear in mind that it is not public facing so convenience can come before security here.
