[xwiki-users] Unable to read LDAP password field
by Robert Munro 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

Hi , I am trying to authenticate against our LDAP but the password field doesnt seem to be readable, when i change the password field to cn it seem to be fine - is there anything that has to be done to allow xwiki to read hidden attributes? the password field should just be the standard "userPassword", and it works with other systems. my LDAP config is :- #-# new LDAP authentication service xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl #-# Turn LDAP authentication on - otherwise only XWiki authentication #-# 0: disable #-# 1: enable xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 #-# LDAP Server (Active Directory, eDirectory, OpenLDAP, etc.) xwiki.authentication.ldap.server=<HOSTNAME> xwiki.authentication.ldap.port=389 #-# LDAP login, empty = anonymous access, otherwise specify full dn #-# {0} is replaced with the username, {1} with the password xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=CN=<ADMINUSER>,CN=AdminUsers,O=CapitaGroup xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass=<ADMINPASSWD> #-# Force to check password after LDAP connection #-# 0: disable #-# 1: enable xwiki.authentication.ldap.validate_password=1 #-# only members of the following group will be verified in the LDAP #-# otherwise only users that are found after searching starting from the base_DN # xwiki.authentication.ldap.user_group=cn=developers,ou=groups,o=MegaNova,c=US #-# [Since 1.5RC1, XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl] #-# only users not member of the following group can autheticate # xwiki.authentication.ldap.exclude_group=cn=admin,ou=groups,o=MegaNova,c=US #-# base DN for searches xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN=O=CapitaGroup #-# Specifies the LDAP attribute containing the identifier to be used as the XWiki name (default=cn) xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=cn #xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=sAMAccountName #-# [Since 1.5M1, XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl] #-# Specifies the LDAP attribute containing the password to be used "when xwiki.authentication.ldap.validate_password" is set to 1 #xwiki.authentication.ldap.password_field=userPassword xwiki.authentication.ldap.password_field=cn #-# [Since 1.5M1, XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl] #-# The potential LDAP groups classes.

[xwiki-users] PermGen OutOfMemory
by Ducret, Gilles (CH) 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Hello everybody, Since I have installed xwiki on my Tomcat5 server I have OutOfMemory problems. These are related to the PermGen space, not the heap space. I have read several topics about that with xwiki but with no answers. If I remove xwiki from the server the problem disappear. This server is hosted by an external provider and I will not be able to extend the size of the permgen space. Could somebody advice please? Could I modify some configuration? E.g Logs? This is really anoying because I think this tool is great Many thanks in advance Gilles ************************************************************************************ This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Re: [xwiki-users] macros not executed?

Thanks Sergio, yes - since I use the same macros in several templates, I thought I should collect them in a single page and include that. I've tried includeInContext, includeMacros, and includeForms - but I always get the same problem.

There is a problem in the way macros are included, caused by the way the Velocity engine works with what it calls macro libraries. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ ___________________________ Yishay Mor, Researcher, London Knowledge Lab http://www.lkl.ac.uk/people/mor.html http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=yishaym%40gmail.com +44-20-78378888 x5737

[xwiki-users] Trouble with Panel Wizard
by MinhHoang To 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

Hi, I created a new widget displaying some statistical data via the Panel Wizard. With the 'admin' logins, that widget is always visible. However, when i logged in with non-admin username ( with View right granted), the newly created widget is no longer visible. Apparently, there are 2 most likely causes: -The widget contains a Groovy/Velocity snippet that requires Programming right to see - The non-admin username does not enough rights to see the widget Anyone could help me?

[xwiki-users] Linking to Google (Analytics and search)
by Gerritjan Koekkoek 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

All, Where and how would you suggest to link a xWiki to google analytics? Besides that, How can I control what content is indexed by external search engines (like Google, Yahoo) I have specific content that I would like to exclude from indexes, although it is on public accessible pages. In our system it is accessible by clcking a disclosure (because it contains medical advise) Gerritjan

[xwiki-users] mailto links & code blocks
by Lewis Denizen 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

Hi xwiki-users, I've been using XE 1.6 for quite some time and it's one of the best apps that I've ever used (thank you so much)! Few small questons/issues. Whenever I create a mailto: link in xwiki 2.0 syntax, I can't put spaces in it: [[mailto:[email protected][email protected]&subject=This is a test]] It used to be possible with the xwiki 1.0 syntax, though. Also, I'd like to know how people are managing to place code snippets in xwiki 2.0 syntax. In the past, I had used the {code} macro, but now that it's gone, what do people use? Do people just wrap it in a <pre> now? How about code syntax highlighting? Keep up the good work!

[xwiki-users] How to reduce database size?
by Jan-Sebastian Winckelmann 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

Hello, we run a small XWiki Enterprise (now V1.6.1) in the out-of-the-box HSQL / jetty version. Actually it's not so small anymore and the HSQL database file grew to a size of 1,4 GB. This size doesn't represent the actual size of the attachments stored in the XWiki, it's much, much bigger. So I guess there is a lot of space wasted by old versions and other unwanted stuff maybe left there as the results of several XWiki version upgrades. Is there any safe way to clean-up the database? Which tables could be emptied? I can live with losing all the versioned attachments and pages. Due to limited Java heap size we already get OutOfMemory exceptions when trying to delete bigger attachments or export some bigger pages. And the heap size is 1500 MB at the moment which is almost the maximum size available. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello... I'm trying to find out if XWiki is right for us. We need OpenID authentication. Is this something XWkiki supports? I'm new to both XWiki and OpenID, but am relatively literate in linux and sql. Thx, D.
