Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't seem to help. The users in
my LDAP contain indeed a dot in the uid.
So, I put xwiki.authentication.convertemail=2 in xwiki.conf and
the authentication failed. I monitored the LDAP communication with the
"LDAP debugging" settings in
classes/logback.xml and noticed that the uid that is sent to LDAP
contains "_" instead of "." (dot).
So using this conf setting, would mean transforming the
uids in LDAP to a format with underscores ("_") instead of dots
("."),
which is not possible.

Hi,
You are probably experiencing the issue describe in XWIKI-3469 (
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-3469).
If you have usernames with dots and some flexibility on your LDAP, a
partial workaround could to add in xwiki.cfg:
xwiki.authentication.convertemail=2
This will convert usernames containing dots (and @), into usernames with
underscores (John.Doe => John_Doe).
Since this cleanup is done earlier, it may improve this issue if user
respect their name properly and your ldap is adapted.

Hi. I have an Xwiki Enterprise 3.4 installation
and I'm studying the
integration with LDAP.
I managed to configure the authentication, I created the users and
mapped the groups with the LDAP server.
But I noticed that the performance dropped dramatically when using
LDAP auth, in comparison with local users, specifically it takes
around 10 seconds to access a page (down from <3sec).
So, I started monitoring the traffic between the xwiki machine and the
LDAP machine with tshark and I noticed that every time I click a link
in xwiki, there is a lot of traffic with LDAP. Is there some way to
improve this behaviour (I really don't understand why xwiki needs to
talk with the LDAP server on every page request...)? I see that this
is not a new issue [1], [2]. I also tried setting
xwiki.authentication.always=0 in xwiki.cfg but I didn't notice any
change (it being set to 0 by default already...). Would upgrading to
the latest stable version improve the situation?
