There are a bunch of these web server authentication plugins that all mostly suck. Web server authentication would be fairly easy to add to core, with a minimal amount of change. The auto-auth code does nearly everything required of web server authentication, except the things that extensions *really* shouldn't be doing, like adding users to the database, and checking sessions.
Would anyone object if I add this support to core? > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tolliver > Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2010 7:59 AM > To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list > Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] New 1.15.3 install > > Hello Platonides, > > Performed the following: > > - Created Auth_remoteuser.php from the code at > (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AutomaticREMOTE_USER#Code) > - Ensured the permissions where correct on the new extension > - Replaced Auth_remoteuser.php > - Run php update.php --aconf ../AdminSettings.php > > Received the error again: > PHP Notice: Undefined index: REMOTE_USER in > /appl/web/devwiki/public_www/mediawiki-1.15.3/extensions/Auth_ > remoteuser.php > on line 195 > > Line 195 of Auth_remoteuser.php > if ( strlen($_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']) ) > > Thanks again. > > Platonides wrote: > > Tolliver wrote: > > > >> Hello Platonides, > >> > >> I ran update.php again, and I got and error that I hadn't > previously > >> noticed: > >> PHP Notice: Undefined index: PHP_AUTH_USER in > >> > /appl/web/devwiki/public_www/mediawiki-1.15.3/extensions/Auth_ > remoteuser.php > >> on line 92 > >> > >> This is line 92 of Auth_remoteuser.php: > >> - line 92 = if ( strlen($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) ) { > >> > >> You suggested that I Update my AutomaticREMOTE_USER > extension, but I > >> didn't have that extension for 1.11.0. > >> > >> Thank you. > >> > > > > Auth_remoteuser.php doesn't seem to be the last version. > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > MediaWiki-l mailing list > > [email protected] > > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > MediaWiki-l mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l >
