Re: [xwiki-users] LDAP - importing users

14 Sep 2007

      Hi Raff,
I have enabled LDAP authentication and it works fine. Now I would want
to add the LDAP user on first logon, don't want a bulk LDAP import. I am
groovy illiterate, so trying to modify what you have written, and
referring to java code...Also, where do I put the following script for
it to run? I am supposing you have to put it in the wiki main home page
itself..

Something like -

<%if (request.get("go") == "1")
{
    username = request.getUserPrincipal()
    username = context.getContext().getWiki().convertUsername(username,
context.getContext())
    def created = "created"
    udoc = xwiki.getDocument("XWiki." + username)
    if (!udoc.isNew())
    {
      udoc.delete()
      created = "updated"
    }
    xwiki.createEmptyUser(username,null,context.getContext())
    print("*" + created + "*" + " ")
    print (" [XWiki." + username + "]")
  }
}
%>
#if(!$request.get("go") || $request.get("go") != "1") [Import and/or
Update Users>$doc.name?go=1] #end

Thanks
Praveen

Is there any way I can import users into XWiki from an LDAP source. I
am
currently authenticating users against LDAP, but am unable to create
groups, or
set specific rights to these LDAP users.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
I think you are looking for a script like this one :
----------------------START---------------------
<%
if (request.get("go") == "1")
{
  results = xwiki.ldap.search("objectclass=*")
  for (res in results.values())
  {
    if (res.get("cn") == null)
      continue;
    username = res.get("cn").toLowerCase()
    username =
context.getContext().getWiki().convertUsername(username,
context.getContext())
    def created = "created"
    udoc = xwiki.getDocument("XWiki." + username)
    if (!udoc.isNew())
    {
      udoc.delete()
      created = "updated"
    }
    xwiki.ldap.createUserFromLDAP(username, res.get("cn"), null, null)
    print("*" + created + "*" + " ")
    print ("{pre}" + res.get("cn") + "{/pre} [XWiki." + username +
"]<br/>")
  }
}
%>
#if(!$request.get("go") || $request.get("go") != "1")
[Import and/or Update Users>$doc.name?go=1]
#end
----------------------END-----------------------
Perhaps you will need to modify it to fit your needs.
You should take a look at the ldap plugin API (exactly this file :
http://svnmirror.xwiki.org/svn/mirror/xwiki/xwiki-platform/core/trunk/xw
iki-core/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/plugin/ldap/LDAPPluginApi.java)
...
Best regards,
Due to a bug in the LDAPPlugin, the line
xwiki.ldap.createUserFromLDAP(username, res.get("cn"), null, null)
has to be replaced by :
xwiki.ldap.getPlugin().createUserFromLDAP(username, res.get("cn"), null,
null, context.getContext())
Or the script will never finish.

Best regards,
