HiThomas,
I did read the link that you provided before I posted the first time on the
mailing list.
Well, as I said, I am not a networking guy so I have been doing a lot of
trial and error.
You mentioned that this does not look like AD...which part are you referring
to - The Active Directory Setup or the configuration changes I made to
xwiki.cfg LDAP properties.
I've tried many combinations that I could using internet & some help from
people who know networking.
I am stuck with the bind_dn username, bind_dn password & base_dn.
Also, as I previously mentioned, I don't know if {0} is just a symbolic
representation where I need to insert my own username or it has to be left
as it is & XWiki will do the conversion of {0} to a valid username.
I have not created an OU. Do I have to create one or is the default "Users"
an OU.
I replaced CN with sAMAccountName but that too didn't help.
I am so new to this concept, I probably don't know even the right questions
to ask.
Any help, as always, would be much appreciated.
Thanks Thomas.

That should be your first read, not the mailing list...

using any of
the users I created in AD. Moreover, I lost my default Admin
credentials for the Wiki (UN:Admin & PW:admin doesn't work anymore).
The configuration is as follows:
xwiki.authentication.ldap=1
xwiki.authentication.ldap.server=127.0.0.1
xwiki.authentication.ldap.port=389
xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN=dc=dilip,dc=com
xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=cn={0},dc=dilip,dc=com

Again, nothing to do with AD here.
