[xwiki-users] LDAP Authentication

Wed Jul 30 00:37:05 CEST 2008

      Error
      You are not allowed to view this document or perform this action.

This is the message I get when the user logs in. If I have not imported the enterprise-wiki.xar then this message is not shown. The user can edit pages. However I guess the user is not created. After I import the xar file the user cannot even view any page.

Any ideas?
