[xwiki-users] Advice needed for best way to migrate from madiawiki
by atakacs 15 Feb '14

15 Feb '14

Hello I am pretty new with xwiki so please bear with me ... I am tasked with a migration project from an existing mediawiki (about 500 pages) to a brand new xwiki system that we will hopefully enjoy in the future. I am pondering my options and would definitely appreciate any pointer / suggestion as of the best way to proceed. I have played with an xml dump produced using WikiTeam dumpgenerator.py (http://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/wiki/NewTutorial#I_have_no_shell_access_t…) but the results are fairly disappointing. Is this a viable approach ? Again any help most appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Advice-needed-for-best-way-to-migrate-fro… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] XWiki Authenticator Trusted LDAP
by Galina 14 Feb '14

14 Feb '14

Hello, Currently we have LDAP authentication for our XWIKI users. I am trying to implement XWiki Authenticator Trusted LDAP with it. I did the following: 1. Added jar file into WEB-INF/lib folder 2. Modified xwiki.cfg : 2.1. Replaced xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl with xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.AppServerTrustedAuthServiceImpl If I replace the line with xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.TrustedLDAPAuthServiceImpl, my xwiki doesn’t run at all with an error LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl not found. 2.2. I still have all configuration in place for LDAP, and I have added the lines according to the recommendations: #-# A Java regexp used to parse the remote user provided by JAAS xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.remoteUserParser=(.+)(a)(.+) #-# Indicate which of the regexp group correspond to which LDAP properties #-# The following LDAP properties are supported: #-# login, password, ldap_server, ldap_base_DN, ldap_bind_DN, ldap_bind_pass # #xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.remoteUserMapping.1=login #xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.remoteUserMapping.2=ldap_server,ldap_base_DN,ldap_bind_DN,ldap_bind_pass xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.remoteUserMapping.1= xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.remoteUserMapping.2=our data here #-# Indicate how to convert each found property #xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.remoteUserMapping.ldap_server=MYDOMAIN=my.domain.com|MYDOMAIN2=my.domain2.com #xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.remoteUserMapping.ldap_base_DN=MYDOMAIN=dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com|MYDOMAIN2=dc=my,dc=domain2,dc=com #xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.remoteUserMapping.ldap_bind_DN=MYDOMAIN=cn=bind,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com|MYDOMAIN2=cn=bind,dc=my,dc=domain2,dc=com #xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.remoteUserMapping.ldap_bind_pass=MYDOMAIN=password|MYDOMAIN2=password2 xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.remoteUserMapping.ldap_server=MYDOMAIN=domain_name1.ds.domain.ca|MYDOMAIN2=domain_name2.ds.somain.ca xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.remoteUserMapping.ldap_base_DN=MYDOMAIN=dc= domain_name1,dc=ds,dc=domain,dc=ca|MYDOMAIN2=dc=domain_name2,dc=ds,dc=domain,dc=ca xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.remoteUserMapping.ldap_bind_DN=MYDOMAIN=cn=bind,dc=domain_name1,dc=ds,dc=domain,dc=ca|MYDOMAIN2=cn=bind,dc= domain_name2,dc=ds,dc=domain,dc=ca xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.remoteUserMapping.ldap_bind_pass=MYDOMAIN=password|MYDOMAIN2=password My questions: 1. What are xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.remoteUserMapping.1 and xwiki.authentication.trustedldap.remoteUserMapping.2 ? Should I have those 2 lines for both domains? Also, I confused with parameters: login, ldap_server, ldap_base_DN, ldap_bind_DN, ldap_bind_pass. Login – I do not know what to use, have empty. ldap_server – enter the same as for xwiki.authentication.ldap.server. ldap_base_DN – enter the same as for xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN, ldap_bind_DN – enter the same as for xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN, , ldap_bind_pass – entart the same as for xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass 2. Should I keep MYDOMAIN, MYDOMAIN1, MYDOMAIN2 words or replace it with some actual names? If ‘Yes’ – what names? Should I replace bind with some actual data? What is that? 3. Could you please provide more explanations how to implement this trusted domain authentication and provide the whole part of LDAP authentication of xwiki.cfg file? Now, after modifications, our LDAP authentication is broken and trusted domain authentication doesn’t work.

[xwiki-users] Using the "Include" macro across more than one Xwiki instance
by Joseph Potvin 14 Feb '14

14 Feb '14

Hello, I've searched a little for some information about using the Includes macro across multiple Xwiki instances over the web. Basically, I would like to describe this method of disseminating our own free/libre/open content which is on an Xwiki, for others to reproduce without creating new copies that they would have to maintain. Includes across multiple Xwikis would be nice. Being able to off this across multiple kinds of Wiki would be very nice. Thanks ahead of time for any guidance. -- Joseph Potvin <http://goo.gl/Ssp56>
