Detailed Description

A secondary provider mostly acts when the submitted authentication data has already been associated to a MediaWiki user account.

For login, a secondary provider performs additional authentication steps after a PrimaryAuthenticationProvider has identified which MediaWiki user is trying to log in. For example, it might implement a password reset, request the second factor for two-factor auth, or prevent the login if the account is blocked.

For account creation, a secondary provider performs optional extra steps after a PrimaryAuthenticationProvider has created the user; for example, it can collect further user information such as a biography.

(For account linking, secondary providers are not involved.)

This interface also provides methods for changing authentication data such as a second-factor token, and callbacks that are invoked after login / account creation succeeded or failed.

Member Function Documentation

◆ autoCreatedAccount()

MediaWiki\Auth\SecondaryAuthenticationProvider::autoCreatedAccount (   $user,
  $source 
)

Post-auto-creation callback.

Parameters
User$userUser being created (has been added to the database now). This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
string$sourceThe source of the auto-creation passed to AuthManager::autoCreateUser().

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractSecondaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ beginSecondaryAccountCreation()

MediaWiki\Auth\SecondaryAuthenticationProvider::beginSecondaryAccountCreation (   $user,
  $creator,
array  $reqs 
)

Start an account creation flow.

Note
There is no guarantee this will be called in a successful account creation process as the user can just abandon the process at any time after the primary provider has issued a PASS and still have a valid account. Be prepared to handle any database inconsistencies that result from this or continueSecondaryAccountCreation() not being called.
Parameters
User$userUser being created (has been added to the database). This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
User$creatorUser doing the creation. This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
AuthenticationRequest[]$reqs
Returns
AuthenticationResponse Expected responses:
  • PASS: The user creation is ok. Additional secondary providers may run.
  • ABSTAIN: Additional secondary providers may run.
  • UI: Additional AuthenticationRequests are needed to complete the process.
  • REDIRECT: Redirection to a third party is needed to complete the process.

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\CheckBlocksSecondaryAuthenticationProvider, MediaWiki\Auth\ConfirmLinkSecondaryAuthenticationProvider, MediaWiki\Auth\EmailNotificationSecondaryAuthenticationProvider, and MediaWiki\Auth\ResetPasswordSecondaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ beginSecondaryAuthentication()

MediaWiki\Auth\SecondaryAuthenticationProvider::beginSecondaryAuthentication (   $user,
array  $reqs 
)

Start an authentication flow.

Note that this may be called for a user even if beginSecondaryAccountCreation() was never called. The module should take the opportunity to do any necessary setup in that case.

Parameters
User$userUser being authenticated. This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
AuthenticationRequest[]$reqs
Returns
AuthenticationResponse Expected responses:
  • PASS: The user is authenticated. Additional secondary providers may run.
  • FAIL: The user is not authenticated. Fail the authentication process.
  • ABSTAIN: Additional secondary providers may run.
  • UI: Additional AuthenticationRequests are needed to complete the process.
  • REDIRECT: Redirection to a third party is needed to complete the process.

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\CheckBlocksSecondaryAuthenticationProvider, MediaWiki\Auth\ConfirmLinkSecondaryAuthenticationProvider, MediaWiki\Auth\EmailNotificationSecondaryAuthenticationProvider, and MediaWiki\Auth\ResetPasswordSecondaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ continueSecondaryAccountCreation()

MediaWiki\Auth\SecondaryAuthenticationProvider::continueSecondaryAccountCreation (   $user,
  $creator,
array  $reqs 
)

Continue an authentication flow.

Parameters
User$userUser being created (has been added to the database). This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
User$creatorUser doing the creation. This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
AuthenticationRequest[]$reqs
Returns
AuthenticationResponse Expected responses:
  • PASS: The user creation is ok. Additional secondary providers may run.
  • ABSTAIN: Additional secondary providers may run.
  • UI: Additional AuthenticationRequests are needed to complete the process.
  • REDIRECT: Redirection to a third party is needed to complete the process.

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractSecondaryAuthenticationProvider, MediaWiki\Auth\ConfirmLinkSecondaryAuthenticationProvider, and MediaWiki\Auth\ResetPasswordSecondaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ continueSecondaryAuthentication()

MediaWiki\Auth\SecondaryAuthenticationProvider::continueSecondaryAuthentication (   $user,
array  $reqs 
)

Continue an authentication flow.

Parameters
User$userUser being authenticated. This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
AuthenticationRequest[]$reqs
Returns
AuthenticationResponse Expected responses:
  • PASS: The user is authenticated. Additional secondary providers may run.
  • FAIL: The user is not authenticated. Fail the authentication process.
  • ABSTAIN: Additional secondary providers may run.
  • UI: Additional AuthenticationRequests are needed to complete the process.
  • REDIRECT: Redirection to a third party is needed to complete the process.

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractSecondaryAuthenticationProvider, MediaWiki\Auth\ConfirmLinkSecondaryAuthenticationProvider, and MediaWiki\Auth\ResetPasswordSecondaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ postAccountCreation()

MediaWiki\Auth\SecondaryAuthenticationProvider::postAccountCreation (   $user,
  $creator,
AuthenticationResponse  $response 
)

Post-creation callback.

This will be called at the end of an account creation attempt. It will not be called if the account creation process results in a session timeout (possibly after a successful user creation, while a secondary provider is waiting for a response).

Parameters
User$userUser that was attempted to be created. This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
User$creatorUser doing the creation. This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
AuthenticationResponse$responseAuthentication response that will be returned (PASS or FAIL)

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractSecondaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ postAuthentication()

MediaWiki\Auth\SecondaryAuthenticationProvider::postAuthentication (   $user,
AuthenticationResponse  $response 
)

Post-login callback.

This will be called at the end of a login attempt. It will not be called for unfinished login attempts that fail by the session timing out.

Parameters
User | null$userUser that was attempted to be logged in, if known. This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
AuthenticationResponse$responseAuthentication response that will be returned (PASS or FAIL)

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractSecondaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ providerAllowsAuthenticationDataChange()

MediaWiki\Auth\SecondaryAuthenticationProvider::providerAllowsAuthenticationDataChange ( AuthenticationRequest  $req,
  $checkData = true 
)

Validate a change of authentication data (e.g.

passwords)

Return StatusValue::newGood( 'ignored' ) if you don't support this AuthenticationRequest type.

Parameters
AuthenticationRequest$req
bool$checkDataIf false, $req hasn't been loaded from the submission so checks on user-submitted fields should be skipped. $req->username is considered user-submitted for this purpose, even if it cannot be changed via $req->loadFromSubmission.
Returns
StatusValue

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractSecondaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ providerAllowsPropertyChange()

MediaWiki\Auth\SecondaryAuthenticationProvider::providerAllowsPropertyChange (   $property)

Determine whether a property can change.

See also
AuthManager::allowsPropertyChange()
Parameters
string$property
Returns
bool

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractSecondaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ providerChangeAuthenticationData()

MediaWiki\Auth\SecondaryAuthenticationProvider::providerChangeAuthenticationData ( AuthenticationRequest  $req)

Change or remove authentication data (e.g.

passwords)

If $req was returned for AuthManager::ACTION_CHANGE, the corresponding credentials should result in a successful login in the future.

If $req was returned for AuthManager::ACTION_REMOVE, the corresponding credentials should no longer result in a successful login.

It can be assumed that providerAllowsAuthenticationDataChange with $checkData === true was called before this, and passed. This method should never fail (other than throwing an exception).

Parameters
AuthenticationRequest$req

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractSecondaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ providerRevokeAccessForUser()

MediaWiki\Auth\SecondaryAuthenticationProvider::providerRevokeAccessForUser (   $username)

Revoke the user's credentials.

This may cause the user to no longer exist for the provider, or the user may continue to exist in a "disabled" state.

The intention is that the named account will never again be usable for normal login (i.e. there is no way to undo the revocation of access).

Parameters
string$username

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractSecondaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ testForAccountCreation()

MediaWiki\Auth\SecondaryAuthenticationProvider::testForAccountCreation (   $user,
  $creator,
array  $reqs 
)

Determine whether an account creation may begin.

Called from AuthManager::beginAccountCreation()

Note
No need to test if the account exists, AuthManager checks that
Parameters
User$userUser being created (not added to the database yet). This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
User$creatorUser doing the creation. This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
AuthenticationRequest[]$reqs
Returns
StatusValue

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractSecondaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ testUserForCreation()

MediaWiki\Auth\SecondaryAuthenticationProvider::testUserForCreation (   $user,
  $autocreate,
array  $options = [] 
)

Determine whether an account may be created.

Parameters
User$userUser being created (not added to the database yet). This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
bool | string$autocreateFalse if this is not an auto-creation, or the source of the auto-creation passed to AuthManager::autoCreateUser().
array$options
  • flags: (int) Bitfield of User:READ_* constants, default User::READ_NORMAL
  • creating: (bool) If false (or missing), this call is only testing if a user could be created. If set, this (non-autocreation) is for actually creating an account and will be followed by a call to testForAccountCreation(). In this case, the provider might return StatusValue::newGood() here and let the later call to testForAccountCreation() do a more thorough test.
Returns
StatusValue

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractSecondaryAuthenticationProvider, and MediaWiki\Auth\CheckBlocksSecondaryAuthenticationProvider.
