The thing is the Auth plugin does not have a mechanism for custom
session-ing, I think because the PHP functions are used.
You would have to change Setup.php to detect any cookie names changed,
and User.php to use this. If you do it right and debug it, it should
not break anything. (Keyword: should)
And I would not call this a minor hack.

Hi all,
I am a very new MediaWiki user and I am looking for some advice on a minor
hack to MW.
I want to set up MediaWiki to accept cookies from other sites as
authorization tokens. My question is, in what module would I make this
change, and what might break?
My goal is to have MediaWiki accept a third-party cookie to access the web
site. The reason is that I have a BBS and a couple of other sites that I
want to be allied with a common login, and I do not feel like adding an LDAP
module.
I can manage the code required for the hack, if someone will just tell me
which modules to start on.
Thanks...
Carlton
