Hi xwikiers,
We decided to remove LDAP authenticator from XWiki Enterprise in 8.3.
So I moved everything that was related to LDAP in
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/ldap. Don't worry It's still
supported by the XWiki Dev team and got many improvements already. It
just felt easier to maintain and reuse it in its own repository and is
very easy to install with Extension Manager.
I taken the occasion to "merge" the LDAP Authenticator and Trusted
LDAP Authenticator so there is now only one with all the features of
both authenticators plus a few bonuses.
Thanks Thomas, that’s great!
Shouldn’t we also make sure that devs now contribute to this new LDAP app instead of the
old extensions? For example shouldn’t
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-authenticator-trusted-ldap have an updated README
to explain all this?
Thanks

You can also use it since Wiki 7.4.x and get all the
new features
without upgrading. It won't conflict with the embedded one, you just
indicate you want to use the new one which is fully retro-compatible.
See more details on
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/LDAP/ and
