[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki, LDAP Authentication and AD groups

Mon Sep 25 14:19:54 UTC 2006

You need to query the directory for the "group" information, then add that 
group to the user's list of groups (can be any string)

To add to the group, either use: $wgUser->addGroup($groupname);  or you can 
use direct SQL:

INSERT INTO user_groups (ug_user, ug_group) VALUES (SELECT user_id FROM user 
WHERE user_name = 'MHart' , 'groupname');

Then use the $wgGroupPermissions['groupname']['edit'] = true; or whatever in 
LocalSettings.php

- MHart
