All,
I'm thinking of deploying xwiki either community or commercial. I've
looked through the docs, and searched the forum as well.
Here is my question. Can I create groups in AD/LDAP and tie them to
Namespaces to get protected wiki's by department?
We have some departments that are ok with an Open wiki, but others
like accounting want restricted access. I'd like to manage this at
the AD/LDAP group level instead of the xwiki application level, is
that possible?
Is namespaces the right way to go to achieve departmental wiki's or
would I have to look at multiple wiki's in a wiki farm?
You can link LDAP groups to XWiki groups and then you can setup your rights
on XWiki based on theses groups like restricting the access to a
space/wikis only to a specific XWiki group. This is usually the way we work
with LDAP.
The main difference between spaces and wikis is that, since XWiki does not
support subspaces, all the pages will be at the same level for a
department. Appart from this it depends how different you want your
spaces/wikis to be or if you want to have different domain name for each
department like admin.myhost.com etc. Note that you can apply completely
different skins at space level.
Thanks,
Matt P.
