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.

AuthManager::getAuthenticationRequests()
Parameters
string$action
array$optionsOptions 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).
Returns
AuthenticationRequest[]

◆ getUniqueId()

MediaWiki\Auth\AuthenticationProvider::getUniqueId ( )

Return a unique identifier for this instance.

This must be the same across requests. If multiple instances return the same ID, exceptions will be thrown from AuthManager.

Returns
string

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractAuthenticationProvider.

◆ setConfig()

MediaWiki\Auth\AuthenticationProvider::setConfig ( Config $config)

Set configuration.

Deprecated
since 1.37. For extension-defined authentication providers that were using this method to trigger other work, please override AbstractAuthenticationProvider::postInitSetup instead. If your extension was using this to explicitly change the AuthManager (or Config, or HookContainer) of an existing AuthenticationProvider object, please file a report on phabricator - there is no non-deprecated way to do this anymore.
Parameters
Config$config

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractAuthenticationProvider.

◆ setHookContainer()

MediaWiki\Auth\AuthenticationProvider::setHookContainer ( HookContainer $hookContainer)
Deprecated
since 1.37. For extension-defined authentication providers that were using this method to trigger other work, please override AbstractAuthenticationProvider::postInitSetup instead. If your extension was using this to explicitly change the AuthManager (or Config, or HookContainer) of an existing AuthenticationProvider object, please file a report on phabricator - there is no non-deprecated way to do this anymore.
Parameters
HookContainer$hookContainer
