Use some particular type of external authentication. The specific authentication module you use will normally require some extra settings to be specified in $wgExternalAuthConfig .

null indicates no external authentication is to be used. Otherwise, $wgExternalAuthType must be the name of a non-abstract class that extends ExternalUser.

Core authentication modules can be found in includes/extauth/.
