Hi Thilo,
As Guillaume Fenollar says, NTLM will require Microsoft protocols,
hence the need for Samba.
But if your objective is just to implement single sign on on Linux you
can go with other standards:
- CAS (more simple)
- Kerberos (complicated)
You just need to setup a CAS Server (there are open source
implementations see
http://www.jasig.org/cas)
You need an Apache HTTPD CAS module
You then can use XWiki's AppServer Trusted Authentication
You can probably find a CAS Server that can authenticate on an LDAP Server

Thanks for the reply and link.
It just seems to me that running tomcat, apache, samba, kerberos and winbind on a machine
"just" to run a wiki is a little much, especially considering that I'm new
to this unix/server world ;)
Of course I'll do that if there isn't another way, i just have a hard time
believing that there's no "simpler" solution to a very basic problem.
To clarify: I only need users to log in automatically to the wiki, Checking against the
AD would be a bonus, but I could just create the wiki-accounts by hand, as well.
Intimidated by this strange world,
Thilo
Hi Thilo,
I worked a lot on this subject these two last days. But I only experimented
Kerberos, and Samba/Winbind/NTLM.
Why don't you want to install Samba? It's easier to make it work than a
Kerberos system (from what I saw). You have to install Samba, configure it,
install winbind, bind on a AD domain with an administrator, and finally
configure Apache to use this auth. You also need to be sure that your java
container won't try to authenticate itself. See:
http://adldap.sourceforge.net/wiki/doku.php?id=seamless_authentication
if you haven't found this before.
I don't know any other solution without using samba or krb.
Good luck!

Hello,
I'm trying to get some kind of NTLM authentication going on my Debian
server, but got lost very early.
I find mentions of working NTLM solutions in the archives as well as
some fixes for an ominous "NTLM authenticator" (XCONTRIB-84) in Jira.
I even found some installation-guide in the sandbox, but there seems
to be no jar file.
Is there some kind of working NTLM solution without installing
kerberos or samba?
Thanks in advance,
Thilo
