Hi All! I've installed the xwiki in my company to use as az intranet information center, but we've to use Active Directory authentication. I set the encoding to UTF-8 everywhere like writen in documentation. This is my relevant config: xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 xwiki.authentication.ldap.trylocal=1 xwiki.authentication.ldap.server=172.16.1.165 xwiki.authentication.ldap.check_level=1 xwiki.authentication.ldap.port=389 xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN=dc=company,dc=intranet xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=cn={0},ou=COMPANY,dc=company,dc=intranet xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass={1} xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=cn xwiki.authentication.ldap.fields_mapping=name=cn,last_name=sn,first_name=givenName,fullname=displayName,mail=cn,ldap_dn=dn xwiki.authentication.ldap.group_mapping=XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup=cn=UnixDBA,cn=users,dc=unixdba,dc=sysman,dc=intra My questions: 1. the trylocal doesn't work for us, if a user doesn't exists in AD then the authentication is failed, but if I change the xwiki.authentication.ldap=0 then works fine to local users (MySQL) 2. because in our AD the CN-s looks like cn={0},ou=COMPANY,dc=company,dc=intranet, but in the CN are hungarian characters. If I try with a user whos name doesn't contain hungarian characters the authentication is working fine, otherwise it fails :( The sAMAcountName attribute is a good choise but I don't know how to set up xwiki :( Somebody have some idea how can I setting up this ones?
