When we touch that component, I like to hear your
requirements. Maybe they are easy to implement in one step
all togther. And - of course - I can always use help, testing
and tips :) No guarantee yet that I/we get the time and
experience with XWiki to get any of the desired features
done. (Caveat: I don't have an AD available for testing)
I've stated my understanding of Zeljko's requirement on the named wiki
page
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Idea/FilteringLDAPauthenticatedUsers
. It's only the rudest beginning, since I had to leave for the day but
I wanted something there to have an address to which to point and a seed
of the idea.
And Gunter, I'm sure that, with Microsoft's rigorous adherence to
standards, you needn't worry about whether Active Directory will behave
appropriately just as any LDAP implementation would.
(I don't really need to tag the above sentence with something cute and
geeky like <irony mood="bitter"> or an equivalent emoticon there, do I?
Like most of my sort, I deplore stating the obvious, forgetting that one
man's 'obvious' is another's 'inscrutable'...)
Please add your ideas to that XWiki page.
But of course...!
BTW: I plan to post a summary of the result to the
list as
soon as we have something more concret.
And perhaps a JIRA entry, if it looks like an enhancement that can be
generally useful without unnecessarily complicating the lives of those
who don't need it...

PS Zeljko: In Hungary you do put given name first, correct? and socially
it is proper to address or refer to someone by his given name? I'd love
to see a phonetic spelling of your name, which to an Anglophone contains
three consecutive consonants, though I know that 'j', descended as it is
from the Greek iota, is effectively a vowel in some Eastern European
languages... On the bright side, there's no chance of absent-mindedly
typing a more familiar (to me) spelling as I did to Gunter.
