Extension talk:HttpAuth

If you're using php as a CGI rather than a apache module, you can get this plugin to work by replacing all instances of PHP_AUTH_USER in the module and the lines added to LocalSettings.php with REMOTE_USER. -Mork the delayer

Is it possible to disable the auto-creation of new accounts? How?

Not working for me...
This extension does not work for me on my Mac Server. Here is some info:

PHP Version 5.1.2 Apache/1.3.33

Don't you have to call this?:

header( 'WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Private"' );

I don't see where it calls that...

Thanks,

John


 * I guess it expects you to do that by .htaccess -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 00:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Why do I get this Warninig? (solved)
Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name]. If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. in /is/htdocs/wp1XXXXXXXX_XXXXXX/www06/UTILISE/wiki/extensions/HttpAuthPlugin.php on line 261

I am using a virual server and can not edit the PHP Setup

allow_call_time_pass_reference needs to be true, and can be set in the PHP-setup, HOST-Europe lets you manipulate this, others may be too.

This is great - what about htgroups?
This plugin works well for me - good work Jeremiah. However I'd like something that can keep mediawiki user groups in sync with apache's htgroup file in a similar manner. Unfortunately for me php's $_SERVER array does not seem to contain the groups a user belongs to. Ideas appreciated.

Disable manual account creation
This is a nice plugin and I would like to be able to disable manual signups for my wiki. Unfortunately $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; does not work any more :(
