Okay guys, we discussed this a bit when I was first asking for advice about my Wiki server, but I don't really even know where to start. I've tried asking our server guy, but he's VERY pro-MS, so his answer to everything is, "Run it on a Windows server."
My problem is I don't know ANYTHING about LDAP or Active Directory, so the docs about implementing it are incredibly confusing. I've switched from MediaWiki to DokuWiki, for a few reasons. It stores everything in text files, so, in theory, I could have multiple read-only parsers, it has much nicer table syntax that's actually readable from the raw text file, it allows direct linking to samba shares with standard syntax (\\server\share), Flash is easily embeddable, etc. I want our existing users to be able to log in to the Wiki with their existing credentials, but I'm not interested in server console logins, though if they come as part of the package, I'm not going to be mad or anything. I also want to be able to set up groups, but very simplistically, basically, an isIT group that gets technical stuff and passwords, and a notIT group that does not. Here are the documents I've found about LDAP and DokuWiki: http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:auth:ldap http://wiki.splitbrain.org/sambaldap http://wiki.splitbrain.org/ldap I do have a couple of specific questions: What's different between AD and general LDAP, specifically as it pertains to this application? Where does Samba fit in? Also, what specific questions do I need to ask the big MS fan? All I've been able to get out of him so far is that we have AD on lafourche.k12.la.us. Thanks a million. Joe
