Member Function Documentation

◆ getAuthenticationRequests()

MediaWiki\Auth\AuthenticationProvider::getAuthenticationRequests	(		$action,
		array	$options
	)

Return the applicable list of AuthenticationRequests.

Possible values for $action depend on whether the implementing class is also a PreAuthenticationProvider, PrimaryAuthenticationProvider, or SecondaryAuthenticationProvider.

ACTION_LOGIN: Valid for passing to beginAuthentication. Called on all providers.
ACTION_CREATE: Valid for passing to beginAccountCreation. Called on all providers.
ACTION_LINK: Valid for passing to beginAccountLink. Called on linking primary providers only.
ACTION_CHANGE: Valid for passing to AuthManager::changeAuthenticationData to change credentials. Called on primary and secondary providers.
ACTION_REMOVE: Valid for passing to AuthManager::changeAuthenticationData to remove credentials. Must work without additional user input (i.e. without calling loadFromSubmission). Called on primary and secondary providers.

Parameters

string	$action
array	$options	Options are: username: User name related to the action, or null/unset if anon. ACTION_LOGIN: The currently logged-in user, if any. ACTION_CREATE: The account creator, if non-anonymous. ACTION_LINK: The local user being linked to. ACTION_CHANGE: The user having data changed. ACTION_REMOVE: The user having data removed. If you leave the username property of the returned requests empty, this will automatically be copied there (except for ACTION_CREATE where it wouldn't really make sense).
