[xwiki-users] LDAP Authentication
Hello All, I have installed XWiki in our environment using jetty and MS SQL Server. I have successfully configured authentication using LDAP but I don't see any users when I click on Users and Groups under Administration. I guess this is because XWiki just uses LDAP to authenticate but doesn't stores the users anywhere. I checked on mailing lists and found that few discussions where people have suggested to add following line in xwiki.cfg xwiki.authentication.createuser=ldap and XWiki will start storing users in his database. But the above didn't work for me. I also found a snippet which might import the users but don't know how to run it. I am a .Net guy and I have very limited knowledge of java. I would like to create groups of LDAP user and give different permissions to different groups. How can I achieve this? Thanks, Avinash

Did you looked at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication ? All possible options are listed here (and I confirm that xwiki.authentication.createuser=ldap does not mean anything or at least now). If you use the correct LDAP authenticator (xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl) and even if you use the old one AFAIK there is no way to configure LDAP in order to not create the user in XWiki, otherwise XWiki would not be able to manager rights, groups etc. What XE/Platform version do you use ? Do you have any error/warning in the log ?

Yes the name appears on top right corner, but doesn't appear in user list.

The name at the top right corner is retrieved from user profile in the wiki so you definitely have the user somewhere in the space XWiki.

I have the exact same problem. The logged in user does not have any privileges and no account created for him. I suppose an account is automatically created for the logged in user. Am I wrong? If I register the user with any password then LDAP login works (I can use LDAP Password) and everything is OK. Otherwise user is logged in the id comes on the top right with the logout link but the profile page is also not there. Avinash, did you solve this issue? Hari Gangadharan Thomas Mortagne wrote:

Sorry for the spam... I figured it out. I am posting it so that it is useful for somebody else. A simple mistake cost me couple of days of work! The following line was commented out: xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl Everything worked fine when I uncommented it. It is kind of strange that the user is getting authenticated without the authclass. Hari Gangadharan

This means no matter what if my LDAP Authentication is working then XWiki should be storing users in its database. My log file is clean. This is the only thing that I have in my log file

My users are authenticating without a problem. I mean I can confirm that its authenticating against LDAP but I can't find any users. xwiki-enterprise-web-1.4.1.war is the file that I downloaded. So I reckon the version is 1.4.1.
When the users log in they only see a page which says "You are not allowed to view this document or perform this action."
After login, do you see the user's name in the upper right corner of the page ?
When I log in as superadmin then I can create Wiki pages. Am I missing something here? BTW where does XWiki stores user information, I searched all my database but wasn't able to find any table which may store user information.
XWiki user are wiki pages in the "XWiki" space. If you login with "toto", you can view the user profile at "/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/toto".
Thanks, Avinash

Hello All,
I have installed XWiki in our environment using jetty and MS SQL Server. I have successfully configured authentication using LDAP but I don't see any users when I click on Users and Groups under Administration.
I guess this is because XWiki just uses LDAP to authenticate but doesn't stores the users anywhere. I checked on mailing lists and found that few discussions where people have suggested to add following line in xwiki.cfg
xwiki.authentication.createuser=ldap
and XWiki will start storing users in his database.
Did you looked at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication ? All possible options are listed here (and I confirm that xwiki.authentication.createuser=ldap does not mean anything or at least now).
If you use the correct LDAP authenticator (xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl) and even if you use the old one AFAIK there is no way to configure LDAP in order to not create the user in XWiki, otherwise XWiki would not be able to manager rights, groups etc. What XE/Platform version do you use ? Do you have any error/warning in the log ?
But the above didn't work for me. I also found a snippet which might import the users but don't know how to run it. I am a .Net guy and I have very limited knowledge of java.
I would like to create groups of LDAP user and give different permissions to different groups. How can I achieve this?

Sorry for the spam... I figured it out. I am posting it so that it is useful for somebody else. A simple mistake cost me couple of days of work!
The following line was commented out: xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl
Everything worked fine when I uncommented it. It is kind of strange that the user is getting authenticated without the authclass.
It's because by default XWiki core use the "old" LDAP authentication service if ldap=1 in configuration (this for retro compatibility).

Error You are not allowed to view this document or perform this action.
This is the message I get when the user logs in. If I have not imported the enterprise-wiki.xar then this message is not shown. The user can edit pages. However I guess the user is not created. After I import the xar file the user cannot even view any page.
Any ideas? Hari Gangadharan

I have the exact same problem. The logged in user does not have any privileges and no account created for him. I suppose an account is automatically created for the logged in user. Am I wrong? If I register the user with any password then LDAP login works (I can use LDAP Password) and everything is OK. Otherwise user is logged in the id comes on the top right with the logout link but the profile page is also not there.
Avinash, did you solve this issue?

Yes the name appears on top right corner, but doesn't appear in user list.
The name at the top right corner is retrieved from user profile in the wiki so you definitely have the user somewhere in the space XWiki.
