Extension talk:Auth remoteuser/Archive

If you have errors, please check http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Otheus/Auto_Login_via_REMOTE_USER for potential solution.

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.


 * You're looking for "Single Signon" functionality. If your web server can provide this - then this extension will use the authentication info from the server to log you into the wiki. This extension would be part of your solution... but there may be other options available.
