MediaWiki: how to create a new user using non-native PHP authentication

Question

I have a web forum for the Invision Power Board. I want to add MediaWiki to this forum. Found this extension for mediawiki: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:IPBAuth

Everything is in order, but I need to authenticate users by email, not by user inputs.

I changed some SQL in this extension, but even if I auth users via email, they created a mediawiki db with a login like email.

How can I check users by email, but create and verify them in MediaWiki by username?

Yours faithfully,

You can see the code for this extension.

It automatically creates accounts when users authenticate based on their network account in a Windows environment.
