LDAP = Database = Oracle
Lots of companies use LDAP authentication and as such a lot of people
want to integrate the wiki logon with LDAP data.
This sounds like exactly what you want just with an Oracle database.
I have never done this before so I can't really offer any more advice
apart from saying the answer is in the archives.

Hi,
I have quick question.
Sorry to keep bugging you.
I am not that great with this LDAP connection and what it really does.
How does this apply to the question that I've asked?
My initial thought was that, correct me if I am wrong, I need to make
connection to Oracle database somewhere. Then get the user information
and
set it as user session/cookie using functions that is
built in Media Wiki somwhere, which I have to find where that is...
Am I approaching it wrong?
Thanks.

I am searching into it right now, but it seems like it is so hard to
find
for each year's archive.
Is there any other way to get some idea?
Or if you were in my situation, what would be your call?

Oh.. OK..
Thanks. I will look into it.
I didn't even know there was an archive.
So hard to find where things are... such a newbie... ha..
Have a nice day.

Does anyone has any idea?
Thank you for your time.
