New subject: [xwiki-users] question about creating new user and skin customization in xwiki 1.0 b2

22 Jan 2007

Hi,

I downloaded the latest xwiki source code (last night)from svn and have
delployed it in a tomcat server. It looks great and I have managed to hook
it up with our openldap server for authentication. But I couldn't figure
out the following issues:

1. I can log in via superadmin and the users from my ldap registry,
however I don't know how to create a new user. I tried to follow the FAQ
"... All users registered on your Wiki are listed in
http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiUsers" , but I got "pages
cannot be found" error.  How can I create a new user? btw, I thought I
should see a list of users since I am using ldap now, but I cannot see
any.
When I go to the Administration link and go to the Users/Groups, I cannot
see any users/groups at all.

2. I cannot see any differences when I log in as superadmin and a user
from ldap. I thought I should see more admin items for superadmin such as
the "admin" user in 0.984 version. For example, I cannot see "more
action"
link at all. How to setup initial securities ? I found the previous
version of xwiki (e.g. 0.984) is more intuitive but I cannot figure out
how to do it in 1.0 beta 2.

3. I tried to follow the skin section of the Admin guide, but I cannot access
http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/skins/xwiki10b1/ even if I logged in.
And I cannot continue to follow the instruction since I cannot see the
"more action" option at all.  Does the default user Admin/admin (in 0.984)
still supposed to work?

Any of your help to solve this problem will be highly appreciated.

thanks

-Jimmy
