Extension talk:Shibboleth Authentication

= update for mediawiki 1.11 = (code deleted because not needed anymore) "return true;" added in function SSOLinkAdd

= Ammended patch file for MW 1.11.2 = Thanks(!) for Peter Jacobs for the patch. However it did not work for me out of the box. So I fixed the patch (BringBackAA function really) and am including patch instructions below:

Install Patch

 * 1) Create a file called ShibAuthPlugin.patch in your extensions folder.
 * 2) Copy and paste the code below into it.
 * 3) Make a backup of ShibAuthPlugin.php
 * 4) Patch the extension

cd extensions vi ShibAuthPlugin.patch \\ copy and paste code cp ShibAuthPlugin.php ShibAuthPlugin.php.bak patch ShibAuthPlugin.php ShibAuthPlugin.patch

If you need to reverse the patch, just type patch -R ShibAuthPlugin.php ShibAuthPlugin.patch
