If this is an army site, you may wish to use SSO. See:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Siteminder_Authentication

The siteminder plugin may need some work. I'd fix it, but I don't have a
siteminder server to test against. If you need this fixed, you may be able
to request my assistance via official channels (as I work for a Navy
command).

If you don't wish to use SSO, or can't, I recommend the LDAP plugin:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication

If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask. If you need involved help,
official channels will likely help.

V/r,

Ryan Lane

Thanks Sean.  This directed me to a wide range of auth topics.
