Greetings mediawiki gurus,

I am responsible for maintaining a mediawiki installation within a corporate
firewall and would like to pass the login information from a web application
into mediawiki - can this be done via the URL?

Best Regards,

JT

What you probably want to do is change the authentication routines in
User.php to detect logins through your existing mechanism (cookies or
whatever).
