In doing that I first load defaults, then set the name, set mFrom to name, call load, check if the user has a valid ID and if not add to the database, and then continue on.

In addition, I Found that the sysop groups weren't being removed when I removed someone from admin group so I added $user->removeGroup for both before then adding it again (or not) depending on the users vb group.

I'm not totally familiar with mediawiki's authorization process (I just installed it actually) so some of this may be redundant, or worse something could be missing....

At any rate it appears to be working if I find any problems I'll post here, I'm attaching my copy of AuthPlugin_vBSSO.php if anyone wants to use it.


Edit: Not working at this time, something is causing edit tokens (and maybe more) to not be correct during POST requests, still investigating

Seems to have fixed things for me as well.
