24 * Authentication plugin interface. Instantiate a subclass of AuthPlugin
25 * and set $wgAuth to it to authenticate against some external tool.
27 * The default behavior is not to do anything, and use the local user
28 * database for all authentication. A subclass can require that all
29 * accounts authenticate externally, or use it only as a fallback; also
30 * you can transparently create internal wiki accounts the first time
31 * someone logs in who can be authenticated externally.
33 * This interface is new, and might change a bit before 1.4.0 final is
34 * done...
