CompostUs/Auth
What (summary)
Create CompostUs login functionality that duplicates that we have on the mediawiki side.
Why this is important
Its a vital step to move to our CompostFrontEnd
DoneDone
- The MediaWiki authentication system is implemented in compost
- Have a auth system in Compost that stores the user sessions in the memcache.
Steps to get to DoneDone
-
stage a new branch compostUsAuthbrnachname: compostUsAuth -
understand the task -
verify that none of the login functionality is currently on the compost side -
Write a controller login controller with methods processLogin, addNewAccount,addNewAccountMailPassword,mailPassword, just as in the SpecialUserLogin file. Names are kept same for easier mapping, which seems more important than readability -
write the skeleton outline of login handling in compost, replicating what exists in mediawiki - complete the successful path
- Update auth to save the sessions in the memcache.
