New page

[[Drupal]] can act as master authentication for a slave [[Mediawiki]] installation by using the AuthDrupal extension. There are several steps involved. More detailed instructions over at the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AuthDrupal AuthDrupal] site.

# Check you have ''php5-mcrypt'' installed.
# Download the [http://thinkling.com/pub/src/AuthDrupal/AuthDrupal-0.4.tgz AuthDrupal Mediawiki extension].
# Untar to ''extensions/AuthDrupal'' directory under the Mediawiki installation.
# Edit ''extensions/AuthDrupal/crypto.php'' and change $key = 'something site-unique here'
# Move Mediawiki.* and copy crypto.php to ''modules/mediawiki'' directory under the Drupal installation.
# Add the Mediawiki details to the Drupal module (see Drupal Settings below)
# Edit ''LocalSettings.php'' to configure AuthDrupal (see Mediawiki Settings below)
# Edit the Login message by editing the MediaWiki:Whitelistedittext article. Use $wgAuthDrupal_LoginURL as the URL:
<pre><nowiki>Please <span class="plainlinks">[http://mydomain.com/user log in]</span> first.</nowiki></pre>

== Mod Rewrite ==

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<nowiki>RewriteRule ^/Special:Userlogin https://%{SERVER_NAME}/login/ [R,L]</nowiki>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^title=Special:Userlogin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^GET$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /login/ [R,L]
</IfModule>

== Drupal Settings ==
Edit the top of ''Mediawiki.module'' to add your Mediawiki instance. Use the same cookie domain as the one set in ''LocalSettings.php''
$GLOBALS['wgAuthDrupal_wiki_settings'] = array(
array(
'wgCookieDomain' => '.yourdomain.com',
'wgDBname' => 'mediawiki_database',
'wgDBprefix' => "",
// If you set $wgCookiePath in wiki/LocalSettings, set it to
// the same thing here; otherwise, leave as '/'
'wgCookiePath' => '/'
)
);

== Mediawiki Settings ==
Add the following to the Mediawiki ''LocalSettings.php'' file and adjust:
######################################################################
# User authentication via Drupal using AuthDrupal

$wgCookieDomain = '.yourdomain.com';

# Point Mediawiki to the Drupal database
$wgAuthDrupal_UseExtDatabase = true;
$wgAuthDrupal_MySQL_Host = 'mysql_host';
$wgAuthDrupal_MySQL_Username = 'drupal_user';
$wgAuthDrupal_MySQL_Password = 'password';
$wgAuthDrupal_MySQL_Database = 'drupal_database';
$wgAuthDrupal_TablePrefix = "";
$wgAuthDrupal_UserTable = 'users';

# If you use Drupal's user profile module, you can tell Auth Module to
# grab their full name into their Mediawiki user profile.
$wgAuthDrupal_GetRealNames = false;
# $wgAuthDrupal_RealNames_fields_table; // set if not 'profile_fields'
# $wgAuthDrupal_RealNames_values_table; // set if not 'profile_values'
# $wgAuthDrupal_RealNames_first_name_field; // set if not 'profile_first_name'
# $wgAuthDrupal_RealNames_last_name_field; // set if not 'profile_last_name'

# replace Mediawiki login/logout pages
$wgAuthDrupal_ReplaceLogin = true;
<nowiki>$wgAuthDrupal_LoginURL = 'http://my.drupal.site/user';</nowiki>
<nowiki>$wgAuthDrupal_LogoutURL = 'http://my.drupal.site/?q=logout';</nowiki>

# Add status messages to the Drupal watchdog log?
$wgAuthDrupal_LogMessages = false;

require_once 'extensions/AuthDrupal/AuthDrupal.php';
SetupAuthDrupal();
