Is my problem so strange or difficult? Is that why nobody is answering?
It looks as though DokuWiki was designed with modular functions to
make this happen, but I need to see a working example or else some
documentation that is a lot clearer than what I've found so far.
Thank you ~

Yes, this is exactly the case in my scenario. The cookies *are*
set on the same domain as the wiki installation.
I just have not yet found sufficient documentation for me to
understand the DokuWiki hooks for auth/trustExternal/cookies. I've
sent emails to a couple of people -- even offered to buy some
beer ;) -- but was directed to this mailing list instead. I
searched the mailing list archives before posting here, as well as
the forum, and I can't find any solutions... only other people
talking about their troubles with the same thing.
If there were a working example, I'd love to see its URL and its
PHP code.
Thank you! ~

Hello ~
I want to DokuWiki to use external cookie authentication:
considering someone "authenticated" if they have certain cookies
(name, email, groups) already set when they come to the wiki.
If they don't yet have those cookies set, I want the wiki to
bump them to a URL where they'll be authenticated. Seems easy
enough, eh?
You might wish to reconsider this. Most browsers can be
configured so they will only return cookies to the server that
set them. So your wiki will never see those authentication
cookies from the other server. This is a natural form of
protection developed to protect from scripts that invoke hidden
cross site links in order to plant a virus on your computer.
Right, cookies can only be shared when the applications involved
are browsed through the same domain. Brett, is this the case in
your scenario?
