Hi,

I'm using XWiki Enterprise v1.7 under Windows 2003 and Oracle Database I set up 2 AD groups that map to the same XWiki group : xwiki.authentication.ldap.group_mapping=XWiki.MyXWikiGroup=cn=ADGroup1,ou=Site,dc=company,dc=comI\ XWiki.MyGroup=cn=ADGroup2,ou=Site,dc=company,dc=com

Users that belong to MyXWikiGroup are able to EDIT a space, all others can't.

As long as a user from ADGroup2 is logged and visit the space, user's permissions can't stop swapping from "able to edit" and "not able to edit" the space. I took a look on the group changes history and it seems that a change is performed 10 times a minute. After one hour of connection the history reached the version number 700+

I search through the mailing-list archives but I didn't see any things similar. Any ideas ?

I think it's a bug in the way membership is managed when two different LDAP groups is synchronised with same XWiki group. I take a look.

We have created an extra set of active directory groups that are linked 1 to 1 to xwiki groups. The active directory groups contain all users (or other groups, of course) that need to be mapped to a specific group in xwiki. The advantage is, that user/group administration can completely be done in active directory. Once set up, you never ever have to touch the xwiki user administration tool or the xwiki.cfg any more (at least in terms of user management ;-) ). This can be a workaround for your problem too if you need to get it running before 1.7.1. steve -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Active-directory-%2B-multiple-group_mapping-%3D-strange...

And by the way if you can't wait for 1.7.1 the fix is already packaged in the last 1.7 snapshot version at http://maven.xwiki.org/snapshots/com/xpn/xwiki/platform/xwiki-core/1.7-SNAPS.... I forgot to indicate this.
