Currently, OpenID extension check and use standard 'createaccount' permission to create mediawiki users for new users coming from OpenID authenticate. This works OK unless I want to restrict anonymous account creation only to OpenID users and do not let anonymous users to create a new user via standard New user form. I had to set $wgOpenIDLoginOnly to true to achieve what I want, but it is suboptimal because existing non-openid users are not able to authenticate without OpenID. This could be solved by using AuthPlugin capabilities (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/AuthPlugin) and creating new users with 'autocreate' permission so that I can configure mediawiki to only allow auth plugins like OpenID to create new users and forbid creating new users by anonymous users.
Hello, thanks for reporting this. It appears to me, that your report is a duplicate or at least related to https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54677 . Pleas can you have a look ?
Not sure about Bug 54677, but 46617 looks very similar. Maybe all these 3 bugs can be fixed by subclassing of AuthPlugin and using it's capabilities.
@Ryan, Chris, other reporters: THIS is at least **partially** what you wanted. My invitation to code-review: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/94977/ Code is live on http://openid-wiki.instance-proxy.wmflabs.org/wiki/ . Special:Version should show you "4.00 20131115" Please test. Please code-review. Please report., if the commit already solves your problem. Be reminded, that commit is however not yet fully Auth-plugin compatible. (this is a goal, but cannot be done in short time, because I have to fix other pending issues, and I am alone working on that.)
