[xwiki-users] LDAP and Users/Groups
by Patrick Gardella 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

Good morning. I've configured XWiki 1.1.1 on WebSphere, with LDAP (AD) as my authentication service. I imported the provided XAR file. >From what I can tell, I have LDAP configured properly. But when I go to log in, I get this message: You are not allowed to view this document or perform this action. I log in as the superadmin, and see that my user shows up in Users and has been added to the XWikiAllGroup three times (not sure why three times). In the xwiki.log, I've turned the debug on for LDAP, and see this message at the bottom "Accept user even without account". What is wrong? Does the user need to have an account on the system before LDAP will work? How do I get it to not add the user to the XWikiAllGroup three times on each login? Patrick Here is the excerpt from xwiki.cfg: xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 xwiki.authentication.ldap.server=DCTWDPUS02.us.dci.discovery.com xwiki.authentication.ldap.check_level=1 xwiki.authentication.ldap.port=389 xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN=dc=us,dc=dci,dc=discovery,dc=com xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=US\\{0} xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass={1} xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=sAMAccountName xwiki.authentication.ldap.fields_mapping=name=sAMAccountName,last_name=sn,first_name=givenName,fullname=displayName,mail=mail,ldap_dn=dn Here is the output in the xwiki.log file. It's a subset. If you need more, I can post it. 08:21:53,610 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - User authenticated successfully 08:21:53,623 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Finding user pgardell 08:21:53,652 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Ready to create user from LDAP 08:21:53,665 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Ready to create user from LDAP with field name=sAMAccountName,last_name=sn,first_name=givenName,fullname=displayName,mail=mail,ldap_dn=dn 08:21:53,767 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Create user from LDAP looking at field name 08:21:53,780 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Create user from LDAP looking at field last_name 08:21:53,793 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Create user from LDAP setting field last_name 08:21:53,809 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Create user from LDAP looking at field first_name 08:21:53,822 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Create user from LDAP setting field first_name 08:21:53,835 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Create user from LDAP looking at field fullname 08:21:53,848 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Create user from LDAP setting field fullname 08:21:53,861 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Create user from LDAP looking at field mail 08:21:53,874 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Create user from LDAP looking at field ldap_dn 08:21:53,890 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Create user from LDAP setting field ldap_dn 08:21:54,084 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Looking for user again pgardell 08:21:54,091 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Finding user pgardell 08:21:54,659 [WebContainer : 2] DEBUG LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl - Accept user even without account

Hi, Thanks for your replies. But I am running the Wiki in Firefox and yes I do allow cookies. I tried to install the 1.12 stable release, with same result. Does anyone else have suggestions, or a pointer to a database population script or...

[xwiki-users] Using container security instead of SecurityFilter
by Ben Vitale 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

I noticed that XWiki uses SecurityFilter. I have a Tomcat configuration that already has a JAAS realm setup with a custom JAAS module. It doesn't seem like the SecurityFilter configuration will really work with this - I'd probably have to implement a custom XWikiAuthService that talks to the JAAS implementation directly, which sort of defeats the purpose of having Tomcat manage that for me. Has anyone attempted something similar? would it be a lot of work for me to modify the source to use the container security instead of SecurityFilter? Thanks Ben

Re: [xwiki-users] Lucene Plugin works only wor admin users
by pentaho＠fsck.ch 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

In XWiki.Results, I replaced the line #if ($xwiki.hasAccessLevel("view", $context.user, "${context.database}:${item}")) with #if ($xwiki.hasAccessLevel("view", context.user, "${item.getWeb()}.${item.getName()}")) and everything works. I have no idea what the 3rd parameter in the first line means, I just looked at what type $item has and then changed the line according to the lucene plugin api. So, as LuceneSearch is not the only one using XWiki.Results, this probably breaks things, as $item not always is a lucene.SearchResult. Any better idea to fix this? What else than WebSearch uses XWiki.Results? Can somebody comment on this? Thanks, Tobias

[xwiki-users] upload_maxsize field available in the default XWiki.XWikiPreferences class ?
by jvivien.m2 jvivien.m2 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Hi ! Would it be possible to add a "upload_maxsize" property to the XWiki.XWikiPreferences class? Instead of having to add it yourself in the class when you need it. For example, when you reset the database and want to import your backup archive, if the archive is too big then you are stuck. Because when you try to edit the XWiki.XWikiPreferences class to add the upload_maxsize property, there is no button to add a property to the class. So basically I think you are stuck. I think the best solution would be to have the upload_maxsize field present by default, like all the other fields, in the XWiki.XWikiPreferences class. However I dont know how to do this on my installation, and maybe it would be nice to have it in XWiki. thanks -- Jean-Vivien MAURICE Elève Ingénieur Informatique et Gestion, Polytech'Montpellier (ISIM) E-mail : jean.vivien.maurice(a)gmail.com Tél. : 0046 7 62 33 20 46 Skype : jean.vivien

[xwiki-users] Problem with login to a new wiki installation
by Thorbjørn Konstantinovitz 14 Nov '07

Hi, We are currently evaluating the XWiki platform. I installed the windows exe (xwiki-enterprise-installer-windows-1.2-milestone-1.exe <https://forge.objectweb.org/project/download.php?group_id=170&file_id=9077>). I ran very very well and we are impressed with the results we could produce in a very short time. We want to use the XWiki system on our existing Tomcat server (version 5.5.15) running on windows XP. The database is a MySql database. I managed to get everything up and running. Hibernate correctly creates tables in the database. My problem is that it is not possible to log in. There is no Admin user. I have tried with the superadmin account, it accepts the superadmin/system passwor forwards to the WebHome page but I am still not logged in so that I can import the manager application. I have checked the archieves and found this http://www.nabble.com/new-wiki%2C-no-users-tf342288.html#a951113 But I am not sure wheter it holds for the 1.2 snapshot release. Help is greatly appreciated!! :-) Cheers /Thorbjørn -- W: http://kodefabrikken.dk If you failing to plan, then you´re planning to fail.
