+===== Description =====
+This plugin allows the use of server side variables to be used during the login process and therefore use an external Identity Provider. In situations where separate AuthN and AuthZ is required, this allows the use of internal group access and definition within Dokuwiki (AuthZ) and allows you to use tools like Shibboleth as AuthN providers to the installation.

 === Known Issues ===
-Zarro boogz found!
+Because the plugin relies heavily on "trustExternal", new user creation is not possible due to a block in entering the username. To onboard new users, you must either go into the userfile on the backend and pre-populate the necessary information, or require a login first, and then go into the Admin->Users area to set groups after the fact.
