  Hi Thomas,

 Thx for replay.

 Yep I know about synchronization ldap to xwiki database.
 I want to use xwiki like central managment system for other services like
 for example SVN (For authentication to the SVN i'm using htaccess with
 ldap). 
You mean synchronize the other way ? When something change in XWiki,
it has to modify LDAP entry ?

XWiki does not support this by default. But you can do that with a
script or a plugin if know JAVA and a little LDAP apis. In your plugin
you can register for receive notifications of user modifications and
then connect to LDAP and modify the LDAP user entry. See
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Notifications

In the meantime you can add an "idea" or "improvement" entry on
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI about "Synchronizing any XWiki
user modification back to LDAP server" or something like that but I
think you will have to wait quite a long time to see it unless someone
provide a good patch/contrib for it ;)

...

 So.. after user registration i need to have the same user in ldap.

 It is posible in xwiki?

 Thx and Greetings!

 Hi Bart,

 hello Thomas,

 If i good know You are developing all ldap staff in xwiki.
 I'm searching simple way how to synchronize xwiki users to ldap
 posixAccount.. i need only login, pass and mail attributes.. do You have
 idea how to make it?

 You don't need to synchronize LDAP login or pass, the LDAP
 authenticator validate login/pass directly on LDAP server then the
 informations like name, mail etc... are synchronized with XWiki.

 To define which information to synchronize between LDAP and XWiki user
 profile you can use xwiki.authentication.ldap.fields_mapping.

 For example : xwiki.authentication.ldap.fields_mapping=email=mail if
 you want only email.

 See

http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication#HGeneric…
 for more details on LDAP authentication configuration.

 Thanks and Greetings,
 Bart
