Hi.
I am evaluating XWiki's LDAP-based authentication capabilities. The intention is to
have a locked-locked-light wiki instance for my group in a large AD-based corporate
environment. The LDAP documentation in xwiki.cfg clarifies how to map LDAP groups to XWiki
groups. However, for ease of ACL administration, I would like to treat only users
belonging to xwiki.authentication.ldap.group_mapping as "registered" users and
the rest of the users within the corporation as "Guests".
Is there any way of achieving this mapping?
Presently, I have setup LDAP config to authenticate any user within the corporation using
xwiki.authentication.ldap.user_group=cn=workers,ou=etc.etc.
This causes every user to be treated as a registered user (after successful authentication
of course).
The only work around I can see is to have an AD group (say X) that contains all the mapped
groups specified in xwiki.authentication.ldap.group_mapping, but that requires X to be
updated in sync with changes made to xwiki.authentication.ldap.group_mapping. If I can
avoid the need for setting and maintaining X, that would be nice.
Thanks,
Milind
