RE: [xwiki-dev] LDAP integration status

It should work with most servers, but some servers connect anonymously in case binding fails. It means that any login/password should work. So checking password is needed for some server. Anyway I think the best way is to separate option for DN construction and password check. DN can be constructed either: - Search with anonymous binding. Currently supported. - Search with binding. Currently supported. - Stored in XWiki. Currently supported. - Trivial by using username (should work with AD). It has to be done. Password can be checked either : - Check password with binding or anonymous binding. Currently supported. - Maybe find a way to do it with Active directory? - Try binding with DN/password. Only supported if DN is stored in Xwiki. Can be added as an option for other cases. This way we should cover all cases. Any thoughts about that?

If I remember correctly, this is the way it was done at Netscape. It should work even when the password is encrypted. Ludovic
