When registering, is there a plugin that will updated LDAP with the new user? Likewise, change LDAP for group membership? Joel Schuster joel.schuster(a)opsysinc.com 719-510-0181

That is correct. I use the same LDAP structure to manage groups/users in other applications. I'd like one point of entry for registering, managing users. As a side note, there doesn't seem to be a place for administration approval of users as they register. That would be nice too. Thanks! - Joel

This is not currently supported, but patches are welcome.

As a side note, there doesn't seem to be a place for administration approval of users as they register. That would be nice too.

This has been done many times in individual deployments, but not as an official feature. Maybe it's something that should be done for 3.2. It should be simple to code it, it was suggested already several times on the mailing list. The basics are: - edit the validation mail so that it doesn't include the activation link, but instead says that "wait for your account to be validated" - write an administrative page that lists inactive users with links to activate them, then uses $xwiki.sendConfirmationEmail to notify users of their account validation

I'd love to be able to do that kind of work...just not on my current schedule. However, I may be able to enlist somebody to do some. My real problem is that there don't seem to be good docs on *how* to do this. This is a new world to me and my team so the learning curve is steep. It's a shame that if it's been done so many times before that someone wouldn't have given back to the OSS community. - Joel

Indeed. Can someone step up and offer to help?
