Re: [xwiki-users] SSO via NTLM

2012-10-09 Thread Ludovic Dubost
Hi Thilo,

As Guillaume Fenollar says, NTLM will require Microsoft protocols,
hence the need for Samba.
But if your objective is just to implement single sign on on Linux you
can go with other standards:

- CAS (more simple)
- Kerberos (complicated)

You just need to setup a CAS Server (there are open source
implementations see http://www.jasig.org/cas)
You need an Apache HTTPD CAS module
You then can use XWiki's AppServer Trusted Authentication

You can probably find a CAS Server that can authenticate on an LDAP Server

hmm, I've just tested it on 4.3M1 and I just had to add:
rendering.transformations = macro, icon, linkchecker

And it worked thereafter.

Are you behind some HTTP proxy by any chance?

Thanks

Re: [xwiki-users] SSO via NTLM

2012-10-09 Thread Edo Beutler
Hi Thilo

I'm a bit late to the party, but I have an addition:
Around two years ago we implemented a solution using NTLM / SSO with
AD using Jespa (http://www.ioplex.com/) for one of our customers. This
solution worked pretty well. The downside of Jespa is, that it is a
commercial product, thus it is neither free, nor open, but in my
opinion the pricing is reasonable, considering AD is mostly used in
larger companies.

Hope this helps
Edo

Re: [xwiki-users] Question About Link Checker Module

2012-10-09 Thread kohinoorthinks
Hi freinds,
The link checker module is still not working, I have visited all pages with
external link,
but any broken links dont show up on the external links tab, is there a way
to troubleshoot this module?
Thanks,
Kohinoor
