edit What (summary)

Create CompostUs login functionality that duplicates that we have on the mediawiki side.

edit Why this is important

Its a vital step to move to our CompostFrontEnd

edit DoneDone

• The MediaWiki authentication system is implemented in compost
• Have a auth system in Compost that stores the user sessions in the memcache.

edit Steps to get to DoneDone

• stage a new branch compostUsAuthbrnachname: compostUsAuth
• understand the task
• verify that none of the login functionality is currently on the compost side
• Write a controller login controller with methods processLogin, addNewAccount,addNewAccountMailPassword,mailPassword, just as in the SpecialUserLogin file. Names are kept same for easier mapping, which seems more important than readability
• write the skeleton outline of login handling in compost, replicating what exists in mediawiki
• complete the successful path
• Update auth to save the sessions in the memcache.
