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! Bart
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#HGenericL... for more details on LDAP authentication configuration.
Thanks and Greetings, Bart
