Jürgen Weber commented on JSPWIKI-517:
--------------------------------------
It would be great to have an LDAPUserDatabase in core. But it should not rely
on being able to write to LDAP, usually enterprise LDAP installations only
allow writing for authorized administrators, not for a Wiki.
> provide an LDAPUserDatabase (part of core JSPWiki)

> Key: JSPWIKI-517
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-517
> Project: JSPWiki
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Authentication&Authorization
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Environment: NA
> Reporter: Harry Metske
> Assignee: Andrew Jaquith
>
> Currently there are only two choices of UserDatabase implementations in core
> JSPWiki: XMLUserDatabase and JDBCUserDatabase.
> There seem to be a bunch of JSPWiki users out there using LDAP as the User
> Registry, in most cases a container managed implementation, which has some
> limitations.
> This issue asks for an LDAPUserDatabase that extends AbstractUserDatabase and
> should better integrate with JSPWiki.
> For instance, we should be able to not only read the LDAP, but also write to
> the LDAP.
> Like JDBCUserDatabase, LDAPUserDatabase is better suitable for larger scale
> implementations where running multiple wiki's using the same LDAP user
> registry.
> Please add any other requirements here too !
