I am currently running a XAMPP webserver and MySQL database on Windows 10 and have successfully installed MediaWiki? How do I set up CentralAuth on Windows (all the instructions are for Linux)?

I've just done a quick read through the CentralAuth doc and it looks pretty OS agnostic. In general "/" in Unix land translates to "C:\" in Windows land (not really true but good enough for now). The bits that describe running "$ mysql" should also work in Windows by running mysql from a cmd prompt. I think that if you are running "XAMP" then you are actually using MariaDB and not MySQL (both are named after Monty's daughters and both of them will work here)

Thanks. I'll try and figure it out
