Detailed Description

A primary authentication provider is responsible for associating the submitted authentication data with a MediaWiki account.

When multiple primary authentication providers are configured for a site, they act as alternatives; the first one that recognizes the data will handle it, and further primary providers are not called (although they all get a chance to prevent actions).

For login, the PrimaryAuthenticationProvider takes form data and determines which authenticated user (if any) corresponds to that form data. It might do this on the basis of a username and password in that data, or by interacting with an external authentication service (e.g. using OpenID), or by some other mechanism.

(A PrimaryAuthenticationProvider would not be appropriate for something like HTTP authentication, OAuth, or SSL client certificates where each HTTP request contains all the information needed to identify the user. In that case you'll want to be looking at a \MediaWiki\Session\SessionProvider instead.)

For account creation, the PrimaryAuthenticationProvider takes form data and stores some authentication details which will allow it to verify a login by that user in the future. This might for example involve saving it in the database in a table that can be joined to the user table, or sending it to some external service for account creation, or authenticating the user with some remote service and then recording that the remote identity is linked to the local account. The creation of the local user (i.e. calling User::addToDatabase()) is handled by AuthManager once the primary authentication provider returns a PASS from begin/continueAccountCreation; do not try to do it yourself.

For account linking, the PrimaryAuthenticationProvider verifies the user's identity at some external service (typically by redirecting the user and asking the external service to verify) and then records which local account is linked to which remote accounts. It should keep track of this and be able to enumerate linked accounts via getAuthenticationRequests(ACTION_REMOVE).

This interface also provides methods for changing authentication data such as passwords, and callbacks that are invoked after login / account creation / account linking succeeded or failed.

◆ postAccountCreation()

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

Post-creation callback.

This will be called at the end of any account creation attempt, regardless of whether this provider was the one that handled it. 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	$creator	User doing the creation. This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
AuthenticationResponse	$response	Authentication response that will be returned (PASS or FAIL)

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractPrimaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ postAccountLink()

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

Post-link callback.

This will be called at the end of any account linking attempt, regardless of whether this provider was the one that handled it.

Parameters

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

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractPrimaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ postAuthentication()

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

Post-login callback.

This will be called at the end of any login attempt, regardless of whether this provider was the one that handled it. It will not be called for unfinished login attempts that fail by the session timing out.

Parameters

User \| null	$user	User 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	$response	Authentication response that will be returned (PASS or FAIL)

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractPrimaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ providerAllowsAuthenticationDataChange()

MediaWiki\Auth\PrimaryAuthenticationProvider::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	$checkData	If 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\LocalPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider, and MediaWiki\Auth\TemporaryPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ providerAllowsPropertyChange()

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

Determine whether a property can change.

See also: AuthManager::allowsPropertyChange()

Parameters

string $property

Returns: bool

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractPrimaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ providerChangeAuthenticationData()

MediaWiki\Auth\PrimaryAuthenticationProvider::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\LocalPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider, and MediaWiki\Auth\TemporaryPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider.

Referenced by MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractPrimaryAuthenticationProvider\providerRevokeAccessForUser().

◆ providerNormalizeUsername()

MediaWiki\Auth\PrimaryAuthenticationProvider::providerNormalizeUsername ( $username )

Normalize the username for authentication.

Any two inputs that would result in the same user being authenticated should return the same string here, while inputs that would result in different users should return different strings.

If possible, the best thing to do here is to return the canonicalized name of the local user account that would be used. If not, return something that would be invalid as a local username (e.g. wrap an email address in "<>", or append "#servicename" to the username passed to a third-party service).

If the provider doesn't use a username at all in its AuthenticationRequests, return null. If the name is syntactically invalid, it's probably best to return null.

Parameters

string $username

Returns: string|null

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractPrimaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ providerRevokeAccessForUser()

MediaWiki\Auth\PrimaryAuthenticationProvider::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\AbstractPrimaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ testForAccountCreation()

MediaWiki\Auth\PrimaryAuthenticationProvider::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	$user	User being created (not added to the database yet). This may become a "UserValue" in the future, or User may be refactored into such.
User	$creator	User 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\AbstractPrimaryAuthenticationProvider, MediaWiki\Auth\LocalPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider, and MediaWiki\Auth\TemporaryPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ testUserCanAuthenticate()

MediaWiki\Auth\PrimaryAuthenticationProvider::testUserCanAuthenticate ( $username )

Test whether the named user can authenticate with this provider.

Should return true if the provider has any data for this user which can be used to authenticate it, even if the user is temporarily prevented from authentication somehow.

Parameters

string $username MediaWiki username

Returns: bool

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractPrimaryAuthenticationProvider, MediaWiki\Auth\LocalPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider, and MediaWiki\Auth\TemporaryPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider.

◆ testUserExists()

MediaWiki\Auth\PrimaryAuthenticationProvider::testUserExists	(		$username,
			$flags = User::READ_NORMAL )

Test whether the named user exists.

Single-sign-on providers can use this to reserve a username for autocreation.

Parameters

string	$username	MediaWiki username
int	$flags	Bitfield of User:READ_* constants

Returns: bool

Implemented in MediaWiki\Auth\LocalPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider, and MediaWiki\Auth\TemporaryPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider.

Referenced by MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractPrimaryAuthenticationProvider\testUserCanAuthenticate().

◆ testUserForCreation()

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

Determine whether an account may be created.

Parameters

User	$user	User 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	$autocreate	False 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.
