I've set up XWiki 1.6 for my IT department, and configured the LDAP
authentication (the new, default XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl) to point to our
corporate Active Directory server. For all users in the "US-IS"
ActievDirectory group, it works fine; however, I have some users that are
split off into "US-info_mgmt" that can't log in. I don't have the power
to
alter the Active Directory group membership or structure, so I'm stuck with
it how it is.
#-# only members of the following group will be verified in the LDAP
#-# otherwise only users that are found after searching starting from
the base_DN
xwiki.authentication.ldap.user_group=cn=US-IS,cn=Users,dc=XXXX,dc=YYYY
After looking through the XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl, it looks like this is a
single value, not multiple. So, I can't simply list two groups.
My next thought was to comment this out because the
XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl looks like it will ignore the group check if its
not set to a value. However, when I did this, no one could log in... sort
of. Actually, I was able to log in, but then the custom logo in the skin
didn't show up, and the comments area showed another login screen embedded
within the page.
Any ideas on how I can configure this?
Regards,
Brian.

Hi Brian,
user_group is really just a filter and do nothing else, so I don't
have any idea how it can have influence on the skin.
What version of XWiki Core/Enterprise are you using ?
Is the user's profile is correctly created and contains rights informations ?
Is this append all the time for any user ?

user_group is really just a filter and do nothing
else, so I don't
have any idea how it can have influence on the skin.
I also didn't expect it to have the effect it did.
Is the user's profile is correctly created and
contains rights
informations ?
I believe so. I can go to the user's page in XWiki and it shows up as I
expect it.
Is this append all the time for any user ?
Sadly, I can only test for myself at the moment as I don't have access to
the other users' passwords.

Now here's some more details:
After I commented out the "xwiki.authentication.ldap.user_group", I still
couldn't log in (well, half way, as I said before). Then I looked deeper
in teh config and noticed that my search base DN was not what I expected.
I changed it to include "cn=Users":
xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN=cn=Users,dc=XXXX,dc=YYYY
However, even then I couldn't log in. I'm not confident that is the right
base_DN to use, but I'm unsure of what else to test.
I also discovered that I had it falling back to XWiki's DB, so the
problematic could still log in if I created her account manually:
xwiki.authentication.ldap.trylocal=1
However, I'm not sure I like that solution.
Regards,
Brian.

I think I know what is the problem: I just seen you used 1.6, did you
tried 1.6.1 ?
There is another thing user_group is used for : when listing LDAP
group to find the user, LDAP authenticator get group's members DNs. So
the user DN is already found during this process and don't need to be
searched. But there is a bug in 1.6 (and fixed in 1.6.1) that makes
search of DN by uid to fail.

I think I know what is the problem: I just seen you
used 1.6, did you
tried 1.6.1 ?
I've not tried 1.6.1. We were on 1.1-m1 for a LONG time. I upgraded to
1.6 after a lot of red tape on my end. Seems like the next day, 1.6.1 came
out :-(
There is another thing user_group is used for : when

the user DN is already found during this process and don't need to be
searched. But there is a bug in 1.6 (and fixed in 1.6.1) that makes
search of DN by uid to fail.
I'd like to find that reported bug so I can develop a better understanding.
My ultimate goal is to have the ability to specify multiple groups (not
one) to filter for out of LDAP an have users in those automatically created
and NOT fall back to internal XWiki DB authentication. The only reason I
turned off the group filter was because it doesn't support multiple groups
(I'm considering submitting a patch) hoping that I could just allow users
in any LDAP group to participate.

Brian.

Thanks, Thomas. I'll have to find time to upgrade to 1.6.1 to see if that
helps my intermediate plan. For my ultimate plan, I just voted for #2518.
