Topic on Manual talk:Active Directory Integration

You may ask why, but having problem with VisualEditor in latest 1.35 MediaWiki, since it does not like Private mediawiki sites. You have to log on to view site "$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;". (Ref: Topic:Vuonx6s9lxsy1xew)

With such sites you can not edit pages (like I am doing now). Currently the only real workaround is to test IP address in LocalSetting.php but no help if you want to access site from many clients. This is why I am asking if there is something I can add in LocalSettings.php which test if Username/password is valid, so then I can set $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = true;"

Thanks

See what server environment variables are set, find one that is set to the current logged in user and test for that.
