Brian,
I too am needing LDAP authentication for AD to function before deploying
Xwiki in my organization. However, I also need it to work over SSL -
which is another bug that needs to be fixed in addition to the
XWIKI-1079 bug. I can't imagine anyone wanting their passwords going
over the wire in clear text these days.... Are you wanting SSL as
well? If so, you'll need to wait until the XWIKI-805 / XWIKI-865 bugs
are resolved. Anyone have a timeline on these being resolved? In
Jira they currently just say they will be fixed in the "Future".
Sorry, but I haven't tried installing the 1079 patch, as I haven't seen
instructions on how to install patches (seems to assume that knowledge
in advance). Anyone care to post patch installation instructions?
Thanks,
David K. Whisler

Subject: [xwiki-users] ETA for XWiki 1.1, JIRA 1079 - LDAP?
We're deploying XWiki 1.0 at work for internal use. We've set up the
LDAP integration to point to our Active Directory, but the existing
integration isn't as tight as we'd like. Authentication is handled, but
users must be explicitly created in XWiki, along with their details and
group membership management coming from XWiki.
I saw bug 1079 in JIRA addresses this. I think I saw this being
included in XWiki 1.1 milestone 2:
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1079
Is there a project timeline for XWiki? In lieu of that, has anyone
tried the code attached to 1079 in an Active Directory integration?
Regards,
Brian.
