Connect Cocalc by OAuth with MediaWiki (MediaWiki4IntraNet)

The Idea

CoCalc (my fork) is great service for scientific realtime collaboration (jupyter notebooks, latex editing, PDF articles sharing). But it is not suitable for creating Team Portal/Dashboard, and Team Knowledge Base. Lot of loosely connected projects, impossibility of consistenly linked/renamed pages, … So better to have MediaWiki (MediaWiki4IntraNet) + CoCalc with authorization on the MediaWiki. Additionaly to Content Features, this binging get interesting possibilities to Team Authorization. For example, «extensions/LdapAuthentication» allows MediaWiki authenticate by LDAP, but is is not possible without radical patching, add LDAP Auth to Cocalc.

So, how to do it.

For MediaWiki4IntraNet, install REL1_26 branch of our fork https://github.com/mediawiki4intranet/mediawiki-extensions-OAuth (branch REL1_26 unusable and need patch).

Add this to LocalSettings:

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['mwoauthproposeconsumer'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['mwoauthupdateownconsumer'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['mwoauthmanageconsumer'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['mwoauthsuppress'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['mwoauthviewsuppressed'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['mwoauthviewprivate'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['mwoauthmanagemygrants'] = true;
