[Thomas Mortagne (JIRA)]

    [ http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-136?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_23534 ] 

Thomas Mortagne commented on XE-136:
------------------------------------

Well I think it's already supported because you can set the the UID field name in the property "xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr", and any LDAP user with right to execute LDAP search in "xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN"/"xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass". The LDAP authenticator search for LDAP user DN using configured UID field.

I will add a functionnal test for it Monday to be validate.

> The company I work for doesnt store the unique identifier in the UID field, so It is a two step process to authenticate.   I got it working in another tool called Quickbuild by setting the "User Search Filter" to (&(uid={0})(objectclass=afguseraccount))
> User search filter:
> This filter is used to determine the LDAP entry for current user.
> For example: (&(uid={0})(objectclass=person)).
> In this example, {0} represents login name of current user.
> Can XWiki add this feature?
