Hi Cindy,

I want to share my configuration to use OpenID Connect with a Gitlab (self-hosted).

Gitlab

• Login to Gitlab Admin Area
• Applications -> New Application
  • Name: MediaWiki
  • Redirect URI: <<https wiki server>>/wiki/Special:PluggableAuthLogin
  • Trusted: yes
  • Confidential: yes
  • Scopes: openid, profile, email
• Submit
• Copy Application ID and Secret to LocalSettings.php

MediaWiki Configuration

In LocalSettings.php

# Extension:OpenID Connect
wfLoadExtension( 'PluggableAuth' );
# set to false to deactivate local logins
$wgPluggableAuth_EnableLocalLogin = true; #= false;

wfLoadExtension( 'OpenIDConnect' );
$wgOpenIDConnect_Config['<<https gitlab server>>'] = [
    'clientID' => '...', # Insert Gitlab Application ID here!
    'clientsecret' => '...', # Insert Gitlab Secret here!
    # docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/openid_connect_provider.html
    # Alternative 'nickname'
    # Alternative 'name'
    'preferred_username' => 'nickname'
];
$wgPluggableAuth_ButtonLabelMessage = 'Login with your Gitlab Account';

Thank you very much for contributing this! Please feel free to update Extension:OpenID Connect with these instructions!

Cindy
