Detailed Description

Authentication plugin interface.

Instantiate a subclass of AuthPlugin and set $wgAuth to it to authenticate against some external tool.

The default behavior is not to do anything, and use the local user database for all authentication. A subclass can require that all accounts authenticate externally, or use it only as a fallback; also you can transparently create internal wiki accounts the first time someone logs in who can be authenticated externally.

Deprecated:
since 1.27

AuthPlugin::addUser (   $user,
  $password,
  $email = '',
  $realname = '' 
)

Add a user to the external authentication database.

Return true if successful.

Parameters
User$userOnly the name should be assumed valid at this point
string$password
string$email
string$realname
Returns
bool

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AuthManagerAuthPlugin.

Definition at line 252 of file AuthPlugin.php.

◆ allowPasswordChange()

AuthPlugin::allowPasswordChange ( )

Can users change their passwords?

Returns
bool

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AuthManagerAuthPlugin.

Definition at line 178 of file AuthPlugin.php.

◆ allowPropChange()

AuthPlugin::allowPropChange (   $prop = '')

Allow a property change? Properties are the same as preferences and use the same keys.

'Realname' 'Emailaddress' and 'Nickname' all reference this.

Parameters
string$prop
Returns
bool

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AuthManagerAuthPlugin.

Definition at line 161 of file AuthPlugin.php.

◆ allowSetLocalPassword()

AuthPlugin::allowSetLocalPassword ( )

Should MediaWiki store passwords in its local database?

Returns
bool

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AuthManagerAuthPlugin.

Definition at line 187 of file AuthPlugin.php.

◆ authenticate()

AuthPlugin::authenticate (   $username,
  $password 
)

Check if a username+password pair is a valid login.

The name will be normalized to MediaWiki's requirements, so you might need to munge it (for instance, for lowercase initial letters).

Parameters
string$usernameUsername.
string$passwordUser password.
Returns
bool

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AuthManagerAuthPlugin.

Definition at line 68 of file AuthPlugin.php.

◆ autoCreate()

AuthPlugin::autoCreate ( )

Return true if the wiki should create a new local account automatically when asked to login a user who doesn't exist locally but does in the external auth database.

If you don't automatically create accounts, you must still create accounts in some way. It's not possible to authenticate without a local account.

This is just a question, and shouldn't perform any actions.

Returns
bool

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AuthManagerAuthPlugin.

Definition at line 148 of file AuthPlugin.php.

◆ canCreateAccounts()
