<this is a second attempt of an earlier attempt. please disregard if a

 I am attempting to implement external authentication using
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Otheus/Auto_Login_via_REMOTE_USER method.
Which requires cut/paste/modify a file  Auth_remoteuser.php and placing it
into the mediawiki/extensions folder and inserting the following into
localsettings.php:

require_once('extensions/Auth_remoteuser.php');
$wgAuth = new Auth_remoteuser();

The problem is that, after successful external SSO, the browser is
redirected to the originally requested mediawiki url but halts with a dialog
stating "Internet Explorer can not download
http://intranetsite.com:12843/index.php?title=Main_Page  from
intranetsite.com. .."

The php error log states " PHP Fatal error: Class 'Auth_remoteuser' not
found in C:\wiki\Mediawiki\mediawiki- 1.6.3\LocalSettings.php on line 141"

Any suggestions?

Mediawiki 1.63/PHP 5/IIS 6/W2K3
