Alexis,
yes that pretty much answers my question; this is my first use of ldap in
a webapp and I didn't know what to expect at all, while I have used older
versions of xwiki w/o ldap.
Having the company field and other user info fields coming from the ldap
entry is not that important to me, more a matter of curiosity.
Cheers,
Ken

Hi,
As soon as you use a valid ldap login/password to
login to XWiki, this user will be created in XWiki.
As fields are copied from LDAP only for first
creation, we don't copy password, because
authentication (checking password) is always done
against ldap server, even if user already exist in
XWiki.
"company" field should be filled with value of "o"
attribute. I will check this asap.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have v0.9.840 working with j2sdk-1.4.2_06, and
it's authenticating successfully against an OpenLDAP
v2.1.27 (+kerberos) server.
After creating a new ldap/InetOrg user and seeing it
magically appear as a New/Registered user upon
(cold) login as that ldap user, I note that some
fields on the xwiki user form/profile are blank tho
the ldap entry has that information.
Is this expected?
I'm using this field mapping in my xwiki.cfg:
xwiki.authentication.ldap.fields_mapping=name=cn,last_name=sn,first_name=givenName,fullname=displayName,mail=mail,company=o,ldap_dn=dn
...and "name=cn", "first_name=givenName",
"fullname=displayName" appear to work fine, however
the company and password fields are blank. (I
removed the mail=mail mapping when testing).
I read some postings in the archive that mention
concerns with providing functionality around the
password if it comes from ldap, is that why the
password is missing?
So, I'm not using HEAD of
http://svn.forge.objectweb.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xwiki/xwiki/trunk/src/ma…
nor Ludovic's LDAP class (name?) with debugging.
I'm just wondering what to expect.
Thanks for any help,
-ken
