  • Platform: Linux
  • Number of Files: 1
  • 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.
