[xwiki-users] Domain name in address bar changed to IP address when you 'Edit' a page
Hello community, I'm not sure if this is a bug, or a feature, but the behavior is puzzling to me. My company has set our XWiki site on a domain name, which is working perfectly for us. As you browse through the website, the domain name is always present in the address bar and does not reveal the IP address of the server. However, when a user elects to 'Edit' a page, they are then transferred to the editor they chose (Wiki/Wysiwyg/objects/etc.), and when they are transferred, the domain name in the address bar is replaced with the IP address. This behavior is frustrating as we would like to keep the IP address of the server private, so the users are not privy to that information. Has anybody else experienced this behavior? And, is there a way to avoid or change this? Also, I've noticed that all links generated by XWiki use the IP address of the server machine as well. For instance, when you hover over any of the links generated by the XWiki rendering engine, the address can be seen by the user in the bottom left hand corner in the information panel, and they always use the IP address. This again defeats the purpose of using a domain name. Is there a way to change this also?

[xwiki-users] Problems w/ displaying HTML Entities as Plaintext
Hey everyone,
While using XWiki version 1.1.2.5797 to document some software, the
following problem occurred:
I tried to insert snippets of a XSL file into a XWiki page using a {code}
macro. As far as I know this macro treats input as plaintext, which would
be exactly what I need. However, it turned out to work differently. It
parsed HTML entities, so instead of displaying inputs like
lt;!ENTITY Auml quot;amp;#196;quot;gt;
exactly as they are, the HTML parts are parsed to
!ENTITY Auml #196;
Having failed with the {code} macro, I tried {pre} and \, but none of them
worked. The same problem occurred when I used XWiki 1.7 which is running
on a test server in the company I work for. Does anyone of you know how to
make XWiki display HTML and XML entities as plaintext?
I could not find anything about this problem in the documentation, the
FAQ, or in the mailing list archive. Did I simply miss something? Since I
read some threads about issues with the WYSIWYG editor, let me add that I
use the XWiki editor, not the WYSIWYG editor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Sascha

Hi,
I've just tried your example:
{code}
!ENTITY Auml #196
{code}
And it worked well:

Sascha, you could double-escape, like in:
{code}
amp;lt;!ENTITY Auml amp;quot;amp;amp;#196;amp;quot;amp;gt;
{code}
I know it's more hard work, but it's a working workaround.
Another solution is to use XWiki 2.0 syntax (available since 1.7M1)
which supports full escaping.
See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiSyntax

Yes I guess sessions would probably be the best way to distinguish between different computers in this case.

[xwiki-users] New users and LDAP
Hi, I'm trying to implement xwiki for the first time in our environment. We
have an OpenLDAP server that I would like to use for authentication. I have
been able to get xwiki to authenticate via LDAP for users that already exist
in the xwiki database, but there are a few things that still are not right.
1. I can not log in to xwiki unless the user already exists in the xwiki
database. This would not be a problem (and in fact is probably prefered)
except...
2. When xwiki is configured to use LDAP, I can not add a user to the
database. I also can not change xwiki group membership or permissions for
any user when xwiki is configured for LDAP. Everything related to users
seems to be locked while xwiki is on LDAP.
3. Users can authenticate using their LDAP password or the password that is
stored in the xwiki database. I know that has to do with the
'xwiki.authentication.ldap.trylocal=1' setting, but without that it, the
login form gives no feedback as to why the login failed. ex. Wrong user
name etc.
Right now it seems to me that the only way for me to add a new user to xwiki
would be to:
1. take xwiki off LDAP
2. add user to xwiki database
3. set permissions
4. put xwiki back on LDAP
There has to be an easier way to do this. Some of the threads I've been
reading indicate that users are automatically created when authenticated via
LDAP. This would be fine with me as long as the default group had no
permissions, and I could later assign the user to the appropriate group.
I've included an excerpt from my xwiki.cfg file. Please let me know if I'm
doing something wrong.
Thanks.
FYI my xwiki version number is 1.6.1.13621

I don't know much java or the way xwiki is structured - can anyone point me in the right direction? And now, for something completely different... For reasons of security/configuration/etc, I typically front Java-based web-apps with apache, and then redirect to Java via mod_proxy_ajp w/ ProxyPass /xwiki/ ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/xwiki/ Given such a configuration, I would consider looking into an external apache authentication and access control module that can provide you with the necessary limitations. One possibility is to use an external login mechanism in apache which generates a random number ID via cookie; for any subsequent accesses to the protected access URL, that ID/cookie which must be present before redirecting to xwiki via mod_proxy_ajp. This per-user cookie ID would be cleared if the given user logs out (via associated external login mechanism), and no other logins would be allowed until the 'latest-login-cookie' was cleared. Only incoming requests presenting the specific cookie/ID associated with the user will be passed on to mod_proxy_ajp and in-turn, java and Xwiki. http://www.frogdot.org/mod_auth_mda/ is a good module to accomplish such tasks: -- http://www.frogdot.org/logintools/pab/scheme1.gif This approach wouldn't care about IP address per-se. The user could start the transaction on a laptop plugged in to one network, disconnect, and continue on a different one. On the other hand, if the user walked over to a different computer, and didn't logout his last session, he couldn't log back in w/o either going back to his old computer and logging out, or requesting an administrator override.
