# AuthJoomla 2023
A Joomla-MediaWiki authentication bridge.
This project consists of two parts:
* `MediaWiki Login`: A Joomla plugin ([JED](https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/miscellaneous/misc-bridges/user-mediawiki-login/)) which sets a cookie in the users web browser.
* `AuthJoomla2023`: A MediaWiki extension which reads the cookie and automatically logs the user in.
## Notes
A valid Joomla session allows access to the wiki, without having to log in into the wiki.
A wiki user profile is automatically created for the user on the first visit.
This project is a successor of [AuthJoomla2](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AuthJoomla2)
by [Harold Prins](https://www.haroldprins.nl/).
It's a complete rewrite done by
[Christian d'Heureuse](https://www.inventec.ch/chdh) in 2023.
The configuration parameters are mostly the same as for AuthJoomla2.
## Joomla configuration
To install the Joomla plugin,
create a ZIP file from the two files in the `joomla` directory.
Or use the ZIP file `mediawikilogin-x.y.z.zip` from the [releases page](https://github.com/chdh/AuthJoomla/releases).
Upload and install this zip file as a Joomla extension.
Configure the following parameters in the Joomla admin backend under "Extensions" / "Plugins".
* Secret Word for cookie crypto check: (choose your own secret word)
* MediaWiki cookie subdomain: empty if your Wiki uses the same domain (host) name as your Joomla, otherwise the name of the Wiki subdomain
## MediaWiki configuration
Copy the files from the `mediawiki` directory to `wikifiles/extensions/AuthJoomla2023`.
Or use the content of the ZIP file `AuthJoomla2023-x.y.z.zip` from the [releases page](https://github.com/chdh/AuthJoomla/releases).
Set the following parameters in LocalSettings.php:
```
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['autocreateaccount'] = true;
$wgAuthJoomla_security_key = '(secret word)'; // same as in Joomla
$wgAuthJoomla_TablePrefix = 'jos_'; // Joomla table name prefix
$wgAuthJoomla_MySQL_Host = 'localhost'; // Joomla MySQL host name
$wgAuthJoomla_MySQL_Username = 'db-user'; // Joomla MySQL user name
$wgAuthJoomla_MySQL_Password = 'db-password'; // Joomla MySQL Password
$wgAuthJoomla_MySQL_Database = 'db-name'; // Joomla MySQL database name
wfLoadExtension('AuthJoomla2023');
```
Edit the special Wiki page `MediaWiki:Loginreqpagetext` and add a link to your Joomla login page.
