MediaWiki as OAuth client: Make MediaWiki use OAuth as a login alternative to local user accounts
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Can I set up a MediaWiki (on Labs, if that helps) using the Wikimedia OAuth system instead of a local login? So,

  • No local user creation
  • Login only through a Wikimedia site and OAuth
  • Maybe declare one account as admin locally (through database hackery) to seed an admin group

Event Timeline

Yeah, this is exactly what OAuthAutentication is meant for. Unfortunately I never finished updating it for AuthManager (gerrit 251930). Not sure what that means in practice; AuthManager has a bunch of B/C logic for pre-1.27 extensions, so it might just work without the patch.

Closing this task as invalid as I don't see anything actionable in this task (but rather a support question?). Please feel free to correct me if I misunderstood. Thanks!
