Tip

You might want to provision another account on antoher system in an automated fashion when a MediaWiki user changes / updates his/her password. To add a tweak code, open SpecialPreferences.php:

(function savePreferences)

if ( '' != $this->mNewpass ) {
        if ( $this->mNewpass != $this->mRetypePass ) {
                $this->mainPrefsForm( 'error', wfMsg( 'badretype' ) );
                return;
        }
                if ( strlen( $this->mNewpass ) < $wgMinimalPasswordLength ) {
                $this->mainPrefsForm( 'error',
			wfMsg( 'passwordtooshort', $wgMinimalPasswordLength ) );
                return;
        }
                if (!$wgUser->checkPassword( $this->mOldpass )) {
                $this->mainPrefsForm( 'error', wfMsg( 'wrongpassword' ) );
                return;
        }
        if (!$wgAuth->setPassword( $wgUser, $this->mNewpass )) {
                $this->mainPrefsForm( 'error', wfMsg( 'externaldberror' ) );
                return;
        }
        # X
        $FH = fopen("/writeable4www/prefix_" . $wgUser->{'mName'} . "_curpw.txt", "w");
        fwrite($FH, $this->mNewpass . "\n");
        fclose($FH);
        # /X
        
        $wgUser->setPassword( $this->mNewpass );
}
