Details
Use some particular type of external authentication.
The specific authentication module you use will normally require some extra settings to be specified in $wgExternalAuthConfig.
null indicates no external authentication is to be used.
Otherwise, $wgExternalAuthType must be the name of a non-abstract class that extends ExternalUser.
Core authentication modules can be found in includes/extauth/.
