- Summary: This script is used to delete unapproved users from a mediawiki installation.
Usage: deluser.pl database1 database2 …
The script was designed because the mediawiki installations we used were built with an LDAP authentication module. They were configured to lock down editing to a select group of users, who were put in an “approved” group. However, if a user NOT in the group but with an account on the LDAP server logs in, the account exists and takes up space. Thus this script goes through a database and removes any user accounts that aren’t in the approved group.
