Mathieu answered another post about authentication system, stating that we ought to use PAM for PHP, if we need additional authentication support. That sounds pretty good :)
Problem is: the simple PAM library we use does not involve sending "Location:" HTTP headers: it assumes the user can provide the credentials directly. That is, it doesn't assume it has to use a system similar to Savane's "brother site" double-authentication method, where the user is redirected to a website where ther user already registered cookies, website that will redirect him to the original website. Maybe the other PAM PHP bindings (the complete and complex one), in addition to an OpenID PAM module, would permit to achieve OpenID support while staying in a common authentication scheme. Or maybe we'd have to add an independant authentication method just for OpenID. -- Sylvain On Sat, Dec 03, 2005 at 07:14:53PM -0500, Alexander (Sasha) Wait wrote: > > Like most of wikipedians, MediaWiki is one of my favorites because user > > base, media/LaTeX/SVG support, etc. > > I installed (manually, no packages) MediaWiki on a Debian GNU/Linux box > > a long time ago and it is running very well. > > The good news: From 16 Sep 2005, a package is available at unstable > > http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/mediawiki > > I am also a happy mediawiki user.
