We would like to use this plugin for our MediaWWiki sites at mozilla, however we are on the LTS version which is currently 1_19. It would be awesome if this plugin could work with that version. I installed the plugin on a 1_19 vanilla install and it does nothing. Well I should say that I get the persona link, when I click it I get the normal Persona popup which I can click through and I am returned to the site. When I am returned to the site I am not logged in. I have a user on the wiki which has my Persona email associated with it and can log in with this user in the normal fashion. I also spun up a 1_21 vanilla install and tested the plugin there but this simply causes the pages to endlesly reload. Perhaps This issue is unrelated and I can spin off a new bug for that issue if you wish. Please let me know if I can provide any further details or if you will be able to make this work with the LTS version. Thank You Jason
So it seems this is actually a number of bugs combined into one: * Mozilla changed their login endpoint and CA certificate. * The Extension:Persona JavaScript was not calling navigator.id.logout() upon unsuccessful authentication * There was a massive Javascript API architecture change between version 1.19 and 1.20 of MediaWiki I'm hoping to fix all of these issues in one go. I'm about to upload a patch that makes the extension work on 1.19 and 1.20. I'm not sure if it works on 1.21 because there was a bug introduced that I'm fixing separately. Once that patch is code reviewed and merged the extension should work for you. Thanks for your patience.

OK, the patch was just submitted, and the extension should now work on MediaWiki 1.19 and later. And a number of other bugs were fixed as well.
Unfortunately ResourceLoader can change how it does things. Reopened pending the fix of bug 97478.
Hi, I apologize for the delay on this. I finally got back to testing and have an issue. I am happy to open a new bug if you think it is appropriate but thought I would start by updating here. To start with things are now working with MW version > REL1_21 and either the REL1_21 or master branch of this extension. The issue with MW REL1_19 still exists. That issue being that I do not get the Persona popup when clicking the login URL on the page top or when clicking the Persona button on the login page. I have tested this with MW REL1_19 & REL1_20. Also I tested with the Persona extension on branch REL1_20, REL1_21, and master. I had the same experience with each. (Note that they all work on MW > REL1_21). Additionally I tested with both Firefox and Chrome just in case. I do not see any REL1_19 branch with this extension but I am guessing form your comments that the REL1_20 branch should work. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information that you thing might help. Thanks
No problem. And sorry for the trouble. I'll try testing it out again and see why it's not working. My goal is to have the master branch of my extension be backwards compatible with 1.19, so ther won't be a REL1_19 branch.

Hey, so the above patch should finally resolve everything. It works on my dev environment with 1.19.9 and with master. If you could just check it out and see if it works for you before I merge it, that'd be great.
After installing this patch version I can now login with Persona. This is awesome. Once this is merged in I will go about testing it on the staging environment, however I do not suspect any issues there. Thanks for all your help with this issue .

Thanks! If there are any other problems just let me know.
Hi, I pulled from HEAD and the extension is working as it did. I have found another issue however. I am running this behind a load balancer and have an issue where the login link in the page corner simply redirects and does not log the user in. If I use the button on the login page it works and thence the login link in the corner works. I am guessing this has something do do with how the session is created but did not dig into it. I set the '$wgPersonaLoginAnywhere = false;' in my LocalSettings file and this removed the link from the top corner. The issue is that now the login button on the login page does not do anything. Thanks again for the help and let me know if you want this issue in a new bug.
Hi, just checking to see if there is any traction on this issue? Thanks
