I set up XWiki 1.0RC3 (soon to be upgraded to RC4) with
ActiveDirectory
authentication. However, it's not what I expected.
First, I must still create XWiki users with the same username that
users
have in my directory. If I don't first create the XWiki user, the
ActiveDirectory user won't be able to log in. However, as soon as
I create
the XWiki user, the corresponding ActiveDirectory user can log in with
their ActiveDirectory credentials. I had hoped that XWiki would
simply
allow an authenticated user to log in. So am I misunderstanding
how it
should work?
I have never used the LDAP feature of xwiki but that's what I would
expect too. Maybe someone with experience in this domain could jump in?

Second, when an ActiveDirectory user does log in, it
is the user
details
from their XWiki user that is shown, not the corresponding
ActiveDirectory
details. For example, if John Smith is an ActiveDirectory user with
username "jsmith", and I create an XWiki user named "Johnny Boy",
then when
John logs in, "Johnny Boy" is shown for his name, not the "John
Smith" form
ActiveDirectory. This surprises me because some of the LDAP value
I has to
specify for XWiki's ActiveDirectory integration were telling it how to
glean information such as the displayName from the directory.
Again, and I
misunderstanding how it should work?
