Re: [xwiki-users] Jasig CAS authentication and users with periods in the id

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it looks like I will need a lot more hand holding to figure out whether or not I can use the trusted ldap authenticator as you suggest. 1. I found the following comment in xwiki.cfg #-# Used by some authenticators (like com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.AppServerTrustedAuthServiceImpl) But I didn't find that the string anywhere else in the files in WEB-INF. So I'm not sure if I'm using that particular authenticator. Is it the default? How does one select a specific authenticator? 2. In the readme for the extension https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-authenticator-trusted-ldap/blob/mast… the configuration examples all seem to refer to authentication using LDAP (and the name of the extension implies that it is intended for LDAP). But in my configuration, xwiki isn't talking to LDAP - it is instead talking to a CAS server which in turn talks to Active Directory (using the LDAP protocol). As a consequence, LDAP authentication is disabled in xwiki.cfg. Instead my xwiki.cfg file has the following line: xwiki.authentication.authclass=org.xwiki.contrib.authentication.cas.XWikiCASAuthenticator Is it true that this extension can be used for CAS authentication as well as LDAP? 3. The extension appears to rely on regexp for transformation/translation of the user ID. I inadvertently omitted one detail from my description of the problem. The mapping from LDAP/CAS user ID to xwiki ID is not as simple as replacing a period with an underscore. Here, people sometimes have multiple surnames or use a second given name in to a surname. As an example, my name might be 'Mark Thomas Jones Sack'. And in xwiki I might have created a user with the ID 'mark_sack'. But in Active Directory, the ID might be 'mark.thomas' or 'mark.jones'. For a mapping such as this from 'mark.jones' to 'mark_sack', I think I would need a separate field (like LDAPProfileClass provides) instead of just a regexp expression.
