            Bug ID: 56660
           Summary: Use autocreate permission to create new users
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: OpenID
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

Currently, OpenID extension check and use standard 'createaccount' permission
to create mediawiki users for new users coming from OpenID authenticate.

This works OK unless I want to restrict anonymous account creation only to
OpenID users and do not let anonymous users to create a new user via standard
New user form. I had to set $wgOpenIDLoginOnly to true to achieve what I want,
but it is suboptimal because existing non-openid users are not able to
authenticate without OpenID.

This could be solved by using AuthPlugin capabilities
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/AuthPlugin) and creating new users with
'autocreate' permission so that I can configure mediawiki to only allow auth
plugins like OpenID to create new users and forbid creating new users by
anonymous users.
