Active Directory Authentication

Hi All, Does anyone use Active Directory for authentication? I can't seem to get it to work on my my new xwiki installation. I installed using Tomcat 6 and MySQL 5 and the xwiki 1.0 war. It works fine with the regular forms authentication, but when I try to enable AD with LDAP, it never works. I also can't seem to get any useful debugging information. I can authentication fine with the AD server using LDAP in Coldfusion. such as like this: <cfldap action="query" name="GetEntries" start="dc=<domain1>, dc=<domain2>, dc=<domain3>" scope="subtree" attributes="dn,sn,cn,sAMAccountName,givenName" sort="sn" server="sulsfp1" filter="sAMAccountName=<username>" username="<domain1>\<username>" password="<password>"> My xwiki.cfg, and xwiki.log are included below. No matter what settings I put in for LDAP, I still get the same error message, about invalid credentials (even if the server name is wrong). I put a log4j.properties (also below) file in WEB-INF/lib, but I don't get any additional debug messages. If anyone has any thoughts, they would be much appreciated. Thanks, Joe Joseph P.

xwiki vs twiki
by wangwh＠att.net 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

Hi, all XWiki users, I know this is a tough question.... Anyone has experience in using TWiki and willing to point out why would anyone choose XWiki over TWiki? I know both are pretty good, both are open source, both have many supporters, both can do almost the same things, but for someone new, what are the reasons to consider to choose XWiki? For it is written in JAVA? for the user group? for the future direction? for the access control? Wei-hsing ps. Anyone plan to attend Wikimania in Taiwan this summer? to learn from the MediaWiki or WikiMedia? (I know Vincent is, right?)

Help link broken - how to change it?
by Thomas Krämer 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

Hello All, I use the dodo skin in a wiki installation. When you edit a page or section, there appears a small link at the end of the page : Help on the XWiki Syntax If you click on it, a window opens a popup, where the help info should appear. Unfortunately it doesn't. Is it possible to change the help location? And then: why do different set of cheat sheets appear depending on whether i use the wisiwig or wiki editor in dodo. I'd expect the entire cheat sheet to appear in wiki edit mode, but only half of it appears there. Intentionally??

Attachment Security?
by brian.roth＠gov.bc.ca 21 Jun '07

It appears that attachments are viewable and downloadable even when page that they are associated with is not viewable due to page access rights. Is this the expected behavior? Is there a way to set attachment access rights? Thanks, Brian

XWiki was chosen over TWiki for many reasons, each decision was based on factors of different priorities to different decision makers. Here are the 5 major reasons: 1. XWiki was written to provide an eXtended - wiki (hence X - Wiki) that would include the best features out there and based on what XWiki creator Ludovic, who was a TWiki user, thought was missing and need improvements in TWiki. 2. XWiki was written with the aim of making it a modular and flexible platform. It is one of the few wikis to offer the easy application building capabilities and do so natively. 3. XWiki is written in JAVA. XWiki is closer to large Enterprise needs than TWiki because the Java platform is chosen by lots of large companies. 4. XWiki has a great user support group which is critical to any open source software. 5. XWiki has a tough and convenient access control system which is crucial to many applications. For an up-to-date detail comparison between XWiki and TWiki, see this page http://www.wikimatrix.org/compare/TWiki+XWiki For a list of applications built on XWiki platform, see this page http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/References/ For a view of what is coming about bug fixes and upgrades in XWiki commuity, see this page http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Vincent Massol <vincent(a)massol.net> > > > On Jun 21, 2007, at 1:16 PM, Pavel wrote: > > > My personal choice of XWiki was driven by the following considerations > > > > 1.

URL Filtering and XWiki License
by Ricardo Esquito 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

Hi, I´m part of a development team that is trying to get XWIKI working as a jsr168 portlet, to integrate it in a commercial portal. We have been able to run it on Jetspeed-2 without major problems, except for URLs. It seems that Portlet URLs are generated and then filtered that causes some major bugs in urls within the portlet since a url ending with 2 underscores ( ..../...__/ ). Has this problem been submitted before? I´ve looked in Jira but didn´t found nothing related to it. Is there any information on where to start digging or changes adviced, without changing the normal flow of xwiki? What should/must be done, if possible, to integrate the xwiki to that commercial portal, according to your requirements? Another issue is that any changes to XWiki Core must be delivered to the project according to the License, is that valid also for skins developed? Thanks in advance Ricardo Esquito. ps -> sorry for the bad english :-s
