Re: [xwiki-users] Custom authentication, LDAP configuration

Or, maybe you do and I'm just not grocking your response. let me try again :-) Our current authentication class will do the following: - allow forms based login, if the wiki is accessed from outside the application that creates the SSO login cookie. - if the SSO login cookie exists, use the ID contained in the cookie to validate the user against LDAP. note that the password is not checked, since that has already been done by the containing application. So, when a user signs in for the first time and accesses the wiki, the user will be created in XWiki, and placed into the 'all users' group. On subsequent logins, user information is updated from LDAP. However, to properly configure groups to restrict access to various bits of wiki content, the users all need to sign into the application first before I can add them to the group, since searching as currently implemented does NOT search ldap; rather, it searches the local user database. I need to have user searching go against LDAP directly, so the restriction of forcing users to sign into the application first is not required. I hope that explains what I'm trying to do. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Custom-authentication%2C-LDAP-configuration-tp3031494p… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
