If your plugin needs to handle it, you should take a
look at the CAS
authentication extension:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CASAuthentication
This plugin redirects the user to the SSO server when clicking on the
login/logout link, checks the info from the server, and allows/denies
access accordingly.
I've taken this example and tried to adapt it to my code. But when I
call the function I've created that uses it, I get:
Fatal error: Call to a member function ucfirst() on a non-object in
/usr/share/mediawiki/includes/User.php on line 653
My attempts at debugging seem to indicate that this happens when I
call:
$username = "TestUser";
$u = User::newFromName($username);
I looked at User.php, this is the section in question:
650 static function getCanonicalName( $name, $validate = 'valid'
) {
651 # Force usernames to capital
652 global $wgContLang;
653 $name = $wgContLang->ucfirst( $name );
I don't really know where to go from here...
