[xwiki-users] Unable to read LDAP password field

Hi , I am trying to authenticate against our LDAP but the password field doesnt seem to be readable, when i change the password field to cn it seem to be fine - is there anything that has to be done to allow xwiki to read hidden attributes? the password field should just be the standard "userPassword", and it works with other systems. my LDAP config is :- #-# new LDAP authentication service xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl #-# Turn LDAP authentication on - otherwise only XWiki authentication #-# 0: disable #-# 1: enable xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 #-# LDAP Server (Active Directory, eDirectory, OpenLDAP, etc.) xwiki.authentication.ldap.server=<HOSTNAME> xwiki.authentication.ldap.port=389 #-# LDAP login, empty = anonymous access, otherwise specify full dn #-# {0} is replaced with the username, {1} with the password xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=CN=<ADMINUSER>,CN=AdminUsers,O=CapitaGroup xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass=<ADMINPASSWD> #-# Force to check password after LDAP connection #-# 0: disable #-# 1: enable xwiki.authentication.ldap.validate_password=1 #-# only members of the following group will be verified in the LDAP #-# otherwise only users that are found after searching starting from the base_DN # xwiki.authentication.ldap.user_group=cn=developers,ou=groups,o=MegaNova,c=US #-# [Since 1.5RC1, XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl] #-# only users not member of the following group can autheticate # xwiki.authentication.ldap.exclude_group=cn=admin,ou=groups,o=MegaNova,c=US #-# base DN for searches xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN=O=CapitaGroup #-# Specifies the LDAP attribute containing the identifier to be used as the XWiki name (default=cn) xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=cn #xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=sAMAccountName #-# [Since 1.5M1, XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl] #-# Specifies the LDAP attribute containing the password to be used "when xwiki.authentication.ldap.validate_password" is set to 1 #xwiki.authentication.ldap.password_field=userPassword xwiki.authentication.ldap.password_field=cn #-# [Since 1.5M1, XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl] #-# The potential LDAP groups classes.
