I have set up a wiki, and wants it to be accessible to people belonging to a specific launchpad team. I have made necessary configuration changes so that the wiki is only visible to people who log in using launchpad.net's OpenID. But there is no mechanism in the OpenID plugin which allows me to restrict access to a specific team. A quick peek at google resulted in this: https://launchpad.net/apache-openid which means that restricting access based on teams is possible. I'd be grateful if you can implement this functionality in the MediaWiki OpenID plugin.
Clarification request: I do not understand, what you mean. Do you want a restricted access to a MediaWiki which has the extension OpenID enabled ? If you want this, you can restrict the access to your wiki via your server settings ("require user ..."), for example by using basic authentication. To restrict access to teams or group: this is not implemented in Extension:OpenID. The MediaWiki extension OpenID is a native extension which can be used with any OpenID-aware provider or consumer, at least, it is designed for this. I am closing this, but please reopen if you feel unhappy with my decision, and please help me to understand what you want.
To restrict access to teams or group: this is not implemented in Extension:OpenID. How could the MediaWiki know to which group someone belongs before this user actually logs in ?
