Use AuthManager on special pages
Rewrite authentication-related special pages to use AuthManager.
All the changes mentioned below only take effect when
$wgDisableAuthManager is false.
LoginForm is rewritten to use HTMLForm and split into UserLogin
and CreateAccount; ChangePassword and PasswordReset are rewritten;
ChangeEmail and Preferences are updated. Four new special pages
are added to handle the new capabilities of AuthManager (linked
accounts, secondary authentication providers): LinkAccounts,
UnlinkAccounts, ChangeCredentials, RemoveCredentials.
The old form-based hooks (ChangePasswordForm, UserCreateForm,
UserLoginForm) are deprecated. A new, more generic hook is
available to alter the forms (AuthChangeFormFields);
form changes that involve new fields should be done via
$wgAuthManagerConfig.
UserLoginComplete is limited to web-based login; for more
generic functionality UserLoggedIn can be used instead.
Hooks that assume password-based login (PrefsPasswordAudit,
AbortChangePassword) are removed; the first functionality
is replaced by ChangeAuthenticationDataAudit, the second is
handled by AuthManager. LoginPasswordResetMessage is removed,
the functionality can be recreated via authentication providers.
There are several smaller backwards incompatible changes:
* Adding fields to the login/signup forms by manipulating the
template via the extraInput/extrafields parameters is not
supported anymore. Depending on the authn configuration the
login/signup process might be multistep and it would be
complicated to ensure that extensions can access the data
at the right moment. Instead, you can create an
AuthenticationProvider which can define its own fields and
process them when the authentication is over.
(There is B/C support for a transitional period that works with
the default login form, but might break with configurations that
require multiple steps or redirects.)
* Removed cookie redirect check. This was added in 2003 in
9ead07fe9
for the benefit of bots, but with MediaWiki having an API these days
there is little reason to keep it. Same for the wpSkipCookieCheck
flag (added in 2008 in
29c73e8265).
* Instead of embedding a password field on sensitive special pages
such as ChangeEmail, such pages rely on AuthManager for elevated
security (which typically involves requiring the user to log in again
unless their last login was more than a few minutes ago).
Accordingly, wgRequirePasswordforEmailChange is removed.
* Special:ChangePassword requires login now.
* Special:ResetPassword now sends a separate email to each user when called
with a shared email address.
* the Reason field had a message with 'prefsectiontip' class
which was sorta broken but used in extensions for formatting.
HTMLForm does not support that, so this commit turns it into a help message
which will break formatting. See https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/231884
