MediaWiki/vBulletin Single Sign-On - vBulletin.org Forum
Version: 3.7.3
This hack provides single sign-on capability for MediaWiki using your vBulletin users. You must ensure your cookie path in Admin CP is set to '/' for this to work. Also, I have not tested this if your wiki and your forums are on different subdomains - but as long as your have your cookie domain set properly it *should* work. This is not a user bridge - it is a complete single sign-on using your vBulletin user repository.
MediaWiki Version: 1.12.0
It's been tested on 1.6.something as well - but there are some modifications you must make to AuthPlugin_vBSSO.php and I don't really remember what I took out. If you still use this version, upgrade =[
vBulletin Version(s): 3.6.9, 3.7.1, 3.7.3
These are the versions I have tested the plugin against. That isn't saying it won't work across other versions but I have neither a test environment for them nor the time to support it.
The process is cumbersome. You have to make some edits in pretty much every step. I didn't originally plan to release this so I designed it so it worked - not so it could be redistributed. I searched high and low for a functional MediaWiki bridge - almost bought NuHIT's product, and then realized it had been abandoned for over a year.
I'll do my best to support it, but I can make no promises.
Demo of plugin in action: MyMMOGames - Multiplayer Gaming and Media Community
Also, if you use memcached - ensure you do not cache sessions. If you do, restart it at least once a week. If you don't, you'll end up with invalid session errors out of MediaWiki.
