Dear XWiki users, I have been looking for authenticating my xwiki users against a LDAP directory (OpenLdap, debian box), where the userPassword field is encrypted using the SHA algorithm. Unfortunately, I am not able to configure xwiki to encrypt the password entered by the user before the authentication and authorization process. I receive the following snip, after enabling ldap logging in a custom log4j.properties file as indicated in the doc: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 8001 in 8: LDAP authentication failed: could not validate the password: wrong password for uid=gravier.christophe,ou=xxx,o=yyyy,c=fr The configuration is nevertheless good in overall, because I can log in if I store my password as plain text binary in my LDAP server (but I don't want it to be plain text in the LDAP server of course...). I have been searching the documentation, FAQ and user/dev mailing lists, and I only found encryption related to cookie storage, or SHA encryption for xwiki-webdav module (http://xwiki.markmail.org/message/k2r2qqu2twjputml?q=ldap+SHA ) developpers' thoughts. Does someone have any clue on how to configure xwiki for encrypted userPassword stored in OpenLDAP please ? Thank you in advance for any information in this matter ! Best Regards, Ch.
