Detailed Description

A pre-authentication provider can prevent authentication early on.

A PreAuthenticationProvider is used to supply arbitrary checks to be performed before the PrimaryAuthenticationProviders are consulted during the login / account creation / account linking process. Possible uses include checking that a per-IP throttle has not been reached or that a captcha has been solved.

This interface also provides callbacks that are invoked after login / account creation / account linking succeeded or failed.

Member Function Documentation

◆ postAccountCreation()

MediaWiki\Auth\PreAuthenticationProvider::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\AbstractPreAuthenticationProvider.

◆ postAccountLink()

MediaWiki\Auth\PreAuthenticationProvider::postAccountLink ( $user,
AuthenticationResponse $response )

Post-link callback.

This will be called at the end of an account linking attempt.

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

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractPreAuthenticationProvider.

◆ postAuthentication()

MediaWiki\Auth\PreAuthenticationProvider::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.

Note
Under certain circumstances, this can be called even when testForAuthentication was not; see AuthenticationRequest::$loginRequest.
Parameters
User | null$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 CaptchaPreAuthenticationProvider, MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractPreAuthenticationProvider, and MediaWiki\Auth\ThrottlePreAuthenticationProvider.

◆ testForAccountCreation()

MediaWiki\Auth\PreAuthenticationProvider::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 CaptchaPreAuthenticationProvider, SpamBlacklistPreAuthenticationProvider, TitleBlacklistPreAuthenticationProvider, MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractPreAuthenticationProvider, and MediaWiki\Auth\ThrottlePreAuthenticationProvider.

◆ testForAccountLink()

MediaWiki\Auth\PreAuthenticationProvider::testForAccountLink ( $user)

Determine whether an account may linked to another authentication method.

Parameters
User$userUser being linked. This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
Returns
StatusValue

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractPreAuthenticationProvider.

◆ testForAuthentication()

MediaWiki\Auth\PreAuthenticationProvider::testForAuthentication ( array $reqs)

Determine whether an authentication may begin.

Called from AuthManager::beginAuthentication()

Parameters
AuthenticationRequest[]$reqs
Returns
StatusValue

Implemented in CaptchaPreAuthenticationProvider, MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractPreAuthenticationProvider, and MediaWiki\Auth\ThrottlePreAuthenticationProvider.

◆ testUserForCreation()

MediaWiki\Auth\PreAuthenticationProvider::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 TitleBlacklistPreAuthenticationProvider, and MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractPreAuthenticationProvider.
