Thanks man.  That got me to the point where I have a reasonable error message ("LDAPAuthServiceImpl:Bind:482 - LDAP Bind does not have binding info").  I think I can talk to my LDAP guy to work through it.

Maybe I understood this sentence from the wiki.

I guess that doesn't mean creating a user in the LDAP database.

 

Any idea how to enable these options (also from the wiki)?

Currently it's failing in the ldap lookup and not trying (I think) in the xwiki database.

 

Thanks,

Hi,

1. In xwiki.cfg you need to specify the authentication class to use, like:
xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl

Then I think you also need to set all the properties used in
LDAPAuthServiceImpl.java, so:
xwiki.authentication.ldap.port=...
xwiki.authentication.ldap.server=...
xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=...
xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass=...
xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN=...
xwiki.authentication.ldap.fields_mapping=...
xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=...
xwiki.authentication.ldap.check_level=...

2. Edit the file xwiki\WEB-INF\classes\log4j.properties to set the log
level for specific packages or classes, like:
com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP=debug


Cheers,
Robin
