Make possible to override the name is nothing but the real blocker is
that we did not decided anything yet on maven project names AFAIK.

The here issue might actually be
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-231. You should try to upgrade
to 4.1.4.

You import the module once through the extension importer on e.x.o and then 
it's supposed to be done automatically through a scheduler job that doesn't 
exist yet :)

So ATM it's manual and we don't do it… We need to fix this.

Note that the issue re the scheduler is that we need a way to ensure 
information don't get overwritten. For ex right now if you import/reimport the 
extension name gets overwritten by the name from the pom.xml which isn't nice. 
Thomas has been working on adding supprot for metadata in the pom for this but 
I don't know the status. Thomas?

Of course, I installed LDAP application via extention manager. In extention

It looks like a dependency issue. This message is issued when the 
xwiki-platform-ldap-api is not present in the classpath (I agree the 
message itself is not very clear).


I see the dependency is correctly listed in the dependencies section of 
the extension page, at 
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/LDAP+Application#HDependencies 
:


org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-ldap-api 4.0

Do you remember if it was listed in the extension UI as a dependency 
when installing the extension ?


BTW Vincent, devs, what's the strategy for not-bundled extensions 
released by the xwiki development team when releasing platform ? Do we 
need to update the extension pages at each release ? Did I miss something ?

I haven't really followed this thread but I don't understand how something 
optional that you don't install could cause an error?

Hello,

We've decided not to bundle the LDAP service by default. You need to 
install it manually via the extension manager. See

Does this helps ?

Managed to get LDAP login working by commenting out all of the LDAP
configuration from xwiki.cfg apart from

xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl

This could be a lot clearer in the instructions here
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/LDAP+Application

The error message "LDAP service is not available. Please verify your
installation." still appears on the LDAP but users are able to
authenticate

Cheers
