Example

$wgSessionProviders[MyCustomSessionProvider::class] = [
    'class' => MyCustomSessionProvider::class,
    'args' => [ 'arg1', 'arg2' ],
];

or, if the extension uses extension registration (preferable):

{
    //...
    "SessionProviders": {
        "MyCustomSessionProvider": {
            "class": "MyCustomSessionProvider",
            "args": [ "arg1", "arg2" ]
    },
    //...
}

This will create a session provider object with new MyCustomSessionProvider( 'arg1', 'arg2' ), and register it as one of the session providers. See ObjectFactory for details of the object construction syntax.
