sharing sessions with MediaWiki
|
|
Dear all,
We are creating a web applications that requires log-in and is a
companion to our MediaWiki installation.
Thus far, we've created an AuthPlugin which ties into our app's
database, so users have the same username and password for both sites.
However, we would like to take this to the next level and have the two
applications share sessions, so logging into one automatically logs into
the other, and the same for logout.
Can this be done? What's the easiest way to do it?
Right now our app and MediaWiki share essentially nothing; different
servers, different languages (ours uses mod_python), different databases
(ours is Postgres, MediaWiki install uses MySQL).
We have deep control over our app, but less over the MediaWiki
installation (our systems staff manages it).
Help and suggestions much appreciated.
Reid
