Re: [xwiki-users] How to verify user/password from XWiki from another app

Ok I tough you wanted to make XWiki authenticate with some credentials stored in another database. If your use case is having several applications, including XWiki, use the same credentials it depends a lot how configurable other (present and future) applications are in your network. = Use XWiki as reference It would be simpler to use HTTP basic auth to validate credential on XWiki because the way user/password are stored in the database is really not very friendly for use cases like this. The password is a crypted object property stored in the user profile making it quite a pain manipulate from pure database point of view. Another idea is to make your XWiki instance an OpenID Connect provider using http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/OpenID%20Connect/OpenI… and configure application to authenticate trough OpenID Connect on the XWiki instance. = Use another application as reference Usually means writing your own custom XWiki authenticator or use generic stuff like http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/ XWiki%20Authenticator%20JDBC = Use a dedicated credential directory like LDAP as reference This means using an authenticator like the LDAP one on XWiki side and configuring other applications to connect to LDAP as well.
