There is no ldap group support yet. But we have a "Google Summer of Code 2008" project to implement that. What you can do right now is: a) write some script that extracts group information from AD/LDAP and pushes that onto a group definition page in the wiki You may want to have a look at MoinMoin/xmlrpc/UpdateGroup.py for this. b) for some very simple group use (like "only accept authentication of group x members") you can also put the group into the ldap filter expression when searching for the user account data in AD. > However, I have two wikis that have certain requirements: with one wiki, > no one is supposed to be able to read or edit the pages but the members > of one group (let's call them the "jetsons" group). That could even work with b) (and Known: vs. All:). > I am using Moin 1.5.7, and am about to upgrade to Moin 1.6.3. Good idea. :) BTW, 1.7 will have enhanced authentication. E.g. you could configure 2 AD servers and have failover to the secondary if the primary fails. That's not limited to LDAP, the secondary auth could be any auth you trust and that works for the same user names/passwords.
