What options exist for authentication into QualityBox? Virtually any authentication system supported by Apache. So, whether your organization runs a [http://modauthkerb.sourceforge.net/ Kerberos] authentication system, LDAP, or other, it's probably supported. MediaWiki has the new abstract [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PluggableAuth Pluggable Auth] extension, which is in turn extended by other extensions like [https://github.com/hexmode/PluggableSSO/ Pluggable SSO] that can take any system that sets `remote_user` (whereas previously you would use https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Auth_remoteuser). What's more, the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenID_Connect OpenID Connect] extension extends Pluggable Auth to use any OpenID Connect provider such as Google or Microsoft Azure Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) -- basically Active Directory. The [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleSAMLphp SimpleSAML] extension makes MediaWiki accessible to any SAML 2.0 Service Provider (SP) and Identity Provider (IdP) (and also supports some other identity protocols and frameworks, such as Shibboleth 1.3, A-Select, CAS, OpenID, WS-Federation or OAuth).
Keep in mind, that the built-in user management is all you need if you don't have any fancy enterprise authentication and authorization framework in place.
