Hi Frantisek, Would you mind sharing the LDAP section of your xwiki.cfg? Because I want to confirm something... In my LDAP/AD configuration, I have to set the -- xwiki.authentication.ldap.user_group -- value to make it work (contrary to what the parameter description says). Thanks!

Hi! I've managed to login using AD credentials in version 1.3 (group mapping is disabled), but the user is not created in any group. The second problem is, when I enable group mapping, XWiki tries to log in, but without success. I mean the browser is showing it's loading, and never stops. But when I restart tomcat and go to my XWiki page, I'm successfully logged in and even created in XWikiAllGroup (but it's incorrect, because according to mapping I should be created in XWikiAdminGroup)! In group mapping I specify the whole path in AD tree.

First I have to say that I made mistake when I wrote we tested ver. 1.2 and it works with AD well. Working version was 1.1.2 not 1.2. And also now we have ver. 1.3 working with AD authentication. We don't know what helped, but my colleague who installed it, tried it once more, set all things as before and it works. New user is created in XWikiAllGroup :-) But I noticed problem with editing :-( In wiki mode editing is OK, but when I switch to WYSIWYG mode I'm logged out immediately (I receive Log-in screen). We are working on it, when I will have something new I'll report it.

What format does it have? name.surname? In our company our sAMAccountName is like name.surname, and it doesn't work with XWiki. So I've changed UID_attr to cn. P.S. I still use version 1.1.2, because it's the only version working properly with AD (user is created in XWikiAllGroup). No other version is working in my case :) The new LDAP authenticator (since 1.3) works perfectly with that and also add group mapping between XWiki and LDAP. Quoting Frantisek Kall : A month ago we tested 1.2 ver. XWiki and there wasn't problem to set up Active Directory authentication. Now we are going to start XWiki for enterprise use and we had a problem to setup AD authentication with 1.3 ver. Can anybody help us?
