Sharan, you can use Wireshark for traversing any traffic, including LDAP. It's really good and is better than logging in that case. Quoting Thomas Mortagne : Hi Sharan, Thanks for the reminder ;) See below On Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 11:09 PM, <sharanabasavaraj.x.mudgal(a)jpmchase.com> wrote: > Hi! > > Could anyone point to any additonal resources for LDAP Authentication.

Just added in http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication The specific targets for LDAP authentication are: log4j.logger.com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.ldap=debug log4j.logger.com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP=debug The first line is for XWiki LDAP tools and the second is for authentitication process itself. > > 2)Is it possible to replicate the groups in LDAP to groups in XWIKI and > replicate the corresponding groupmemberships for a user during login so > that the authorization is done through XWiki based on the user's group > association in LDAP? Just added in http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/LDAPAuthenticationUseCa… You can use xwiki."authentication.ldap.group_mapping" to link LDAP groups to existing XWiki groups.

Hi! Thomas, Just wanted to check if the LDAP Authenticator makes call to LDAP for authentication every time a page is accessed. When you turn the debug option for ldap on, it appears from the log that the ldap call is being made every time a page is accessed..Should not the call be made only during login? Is this the default behaviour? If so, is there a way this can be changed to do authentication only once.. otherwise, it can slow the site down to a great extent.. please advise Thanks. Sharan.
