Hello,

I am setting up a new MW 1.29 application on a secure 
RHEL7+Apache2+PHP5.6+MariaDB5.5 host running in an Active Directory enterprise 
environment. All client browsers that will access the wiki have user session 
attributes in the header authenticated by the domain. When users visit the MW 
site, I would like MW to automatically log-in the users (and create new users 
as needed) from the authentication information in the browser session header. I 
am told by my enterprise security admins that the session header data is 
compatible with Siteminder (i.e. SM_SDOMAIN, etc..)
[Q1] Will I need anything beyond PluggableAuth and PluggableSSO?
[Q2] Will I need to configure either of these for my domain or should it just 
work?

So far I have successfully installed PluggableAuth and PluggableSSO and added 
the following to LocalSettings.php:

$wgPluggableAuth_EnableAutoLogin = true;
$wgPluggableAuth_EnableLocalLogin = true;
$wgPluggableAuth_EnableLocalProperties = false;
$wgPluggableAuth_Class = "PluggableSSO";
wfLoadExtension( 'PluggableAuth' );
wfLoadExtension( 'PluggableSSO' );

but it does not work as effortless as hoped.

So I have set $wgShowDebug = true; in localsettings.php and can see all of the 
session data and trace info, but I don't know how to interpret it as well as 
i'd like.

[Q3] My local login no longer works either. Is this to be expected?

Any advice from the authentication gurus is greatly appreciatedĀ :-)
Thanks in advance,
-Rich
