Hello,
I am trying to use Penrose LDAP virtual server
(http://docs.safehaus.org/display/PENROSE/Home) as an LDAP source to
manage authentification of my xwiki instance.
The connection to the server works fine but when xwiki tries to search
for my user, it stops with the following exception :
2008-12-01 10:06:38,921
[http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [P1-19]

[http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] [P1-19]
DEBUG LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl - Local LDAP authentication failed.
After searching in the xwiki source code, I found there is a timeout of
1s for a search query to execute (in XWikiLDAPConnection line 292). It
may explains the error I imagine.
Is it possible to make this timeout defined via a configuration key in
xwiki.cfg ?
I just created http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2912
Another point related to xwiki LDAP logs : I don't like very much to
have the password sent to xwiki writen clearly in the log file when LDAP
debug is activated. Is it possible to have stars instead of the real
value of the password ?
and http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2913
If someone can do these modifications to the code, I will be pleased to
test them.
I would like to test it by myself but, currently, I did not manage to
build xwiki with maven after checking out the source.
I you already checkouted the sources you just need to execute "mvn
install" (after installing maven of course) in xwiki-core folder
(where is located the LDAP code) and replace the
xwiki-core-<version>.jar in your web app by the generated one. You can
look at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building for
more details (I guess you already looked here but never knows ;)).
You can comment or even add a patch in theses two issues if you have
some time ;)
Thank you for your help.
