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.

Hello folks,
I need some help with a topic that has been discussed very often on the mailing list - LDAP.
I've tried going through most of the posts on the mailing list but since I am not a networking guy, I've had lot of trouble understanding the basic terminology involved with LDAP & AD.
The AD that we've on production environment is available only through SSL which I know will be a bigger challenge to configure with XWiki. Hence, to start with, I would like to connect my XWiki with the MS Active Directory I setup on my test machine.
With some help, I managed to create a Active Directory. Also, I am able to connect to this AD using Apache Directory Browser. So this confirms that the AD is working fine.
Both the AD and XWiki are installed on the same machine.
Now, I tried changing the xwiki.cfg LDAP properties but I am unable to login 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
This eally doe snot looks like AD. Did you looked at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/LDAPAuthenticationUseCas es#HActive20Directory ? That should be your first read, not the mailing list...
xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass={1}
xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=cn
Again, nothing to do with AD here.
xwiki.authentication.ldap.fields_mapping=name=cn,last_name=sn,first_name=giv
enName,fullname=displayName,mail=cn,ldap_dn=dn
And the AD structure can be loosely described as follows:
dilip.com
? ? ? ?-----Builtin
? ? ? ?-----Computers
? ? ? ?-----Domain Controllers
? ? ? ?-----ForeignSecurityPrincipals
? ? ? ?-----Users
All my users are listed under the "Users" node including Windows administrator called "Administrator" with password "redhat".
Does the {0} need to be replaced with an actual username & {1} replaced with actual password. Could someone please have a look at my configuration settings & probably suggest some changes. I am sure I've missed something somewhere.
Thank you for your valuable time.
