--- Comment #7 from Bruce Elrick <[email protected]> 2012-09-11 20:53:28 UTC --- Finally, I'll add that just the basic format of the action=login API URL tells me that the API is assuming authentication in the URL which means it is not supporting HTTP Basic authentication which is what Auth_remoteuser, a MediaWiki extension, is designed to support. So I think we have an incompatibility between the API and the extension, both of which are Wikimedia's. Is it possible for the maintainers within both areas to work together? As a use case, I have an Apache web server that does authentication against Active Directory - I use Auth_remoteuser to import data such as the user name and email address from the LDAP information. This is very useful since new MediaWiki accounts are automatically created and populated while the user only has to enter their AD credentials. This includes skipping the email verification step.
