That's just it, I can't use the MediaWiki login to get the userid/pw. I need to be able to redirect to a page that uses it's own method of input for that data. Reading http://wiki.case.edu/CaseWiki:External_Authentication makes it sound possible, but it reads as though they're covering multiple methods and do a poor job of distinguishing which to-do's are for which method. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
