php - MediaWiki authentication with credentials of a Windows domain

Question

I wish to create a wiki page for internal use within my company.

Ideally, I would like it to verify logins against our company windows domain, so that the user does not have to create a new account specifically for the wiki in order to to access it.

So, users currently log into a domain when they log into their computer in work in the morning. I want to use these credentials in my webpage to verify that the user should be allowed to edit the page ? I want the users login to be maintained so that we can keep track of who makes the edits and when.

Is it possible to do this ? What can I do to make this change ?

Answer 1

NTLM or Kerberos will allow you to do single sign on with an Active Directory storing Windows domain credentials. Check out the MediaWiki authentication extensions. Particularly, the Kerberos configuration for the LDAP Authentication extension or this NTLM extension.
