Hi everyone. 2 issues (sort of related): 1:
We have installed XEM 2.4 on Windows Server 2003 using Jetty and mySQL 5, and have successfully got LDAP to work on the main wiki (authenticating against Active Directory) - the user's first/last name appears in the top right (and if they navigate to their profile, the AD info is there). However, when we create a child/sub wiki (and import the standard .xar), the LDAP authentication appears to work, but the same level of user information is not pulled through (only the username appears - no first name, last name or profile details etc). Is there something else we need to set up? Ideally we would like to set the entire farm up so that if a user logs into one, they had their accounts made in each. Alternatively, the ability to import all users and set up accounts would be great - we can then pre-allocate users to specific spaces etc (any news on re-developing the 'Import users from LDAP' plugin?!). We've found the xwiki.preferences class objects page - but are a bit confused! 2: In addition, the process of creating child wikis seems to have an issue with the main administrator (Admin/admin) - when logged in (to one of the child wikis) the 'Preferences' and 'Profile' menu items (in the top right) refer to 'localhost', not the assigned alias/dns... Can anyone point me in the right direction?! (Apologies if this seems a bit of a locked-down approach to using wikis - but as an educational institution, we need to keep the editing of content secure!).
