# Django MediaWiki Authentication

This is a simple authentication plugin for MediaWiki that uses the Django

authentication app as a backend.

It requires Django 1.5.3 or later with JSON session serializer, which has been

the default since 1.6.

Currently tested again MediaWiki 1.27.1.

## Installation

* Copy `django-media-authentication/` to `extensions/` and rename to `AuthDjango/`.

* Change the configuration variables in `AuthDjango.php` to suit your needs.

  * `LinkToSiteLogin` should be Django's login page URL.

  * `LinkToWiki` should be the subdirectory that the wiki is in, including the trailing `/`.

* Give the following permissions for your MediaWiki database user:

``GRANT SELECT ON `django_db_name`.`auth_user` TO 'wikiuser'@'localhost'``

``GRANT SELECT, DELETE ON `django_db_name`.`django_session` TO 'wikiuser'@'localhost'``

* Add the following line to your `LocalSettings.php`:

`require_once('extensions/AuthDjango`/AuthDjango.php');

* Run `update.php` to update the database schema:

`cd ./maintenance/ && php update.php`

Note that while new accounts and previous logins are linked together using

Django's user id, the first time a Django user goes to the wiki where they have

an existing account the two will be linked by username. So either ensure that

all existing MediaWiki users have the same usernames as their Django accounts

or go through and manually add entries for their accounts into the

newly-created `authdjango` table in the MediaWiki database.
