Hi all,

We are looking for wiki solution. Your XWiki looks impressive but we have one question.

We need authentication from LDAP and also handling the groups and user privileges from LDAP. We saw on JIRA [#XWIKI-330] issue (new feature) about that. Is someone taking any progress regarding this or do you know when this kind of feature is going to be in you software?

I know several people are using LDAP authentication successfully so the answer is yes. It's possible that there are still some limitations though.

I've found this http://old.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/LDAPIntegrationAD. Maybe it can help you.

We need to add general documentation about configuring LDAP on xwiki.org so anyone who can help is most welcome.

Others on this list know more than I do on LDAP integration so let's hope they chime in... ;-)

Thanks

PS: Also be aware that there's a company (XPertNet, http://www.xwiki.com) behind the open source XWiki project and they can provide specific help and development in a given area if you need it quickly.
