Hi Ricardo,
Yes, 1-3. is correct. One of the features that I am proposing in
JIRA-1079 is the (configurable) fallback authentication using the XWiki
DB.
My library was developed based on code of the ldap authentication
plug-in from XWiki pre-1.0. I have not followed any changes in XWiki's
ldap plug-in since then.
I have added SSL binding to the LDAP Server later and added the code to
the JIRA issue.
The code checked in the JIRA issue is a suggestion for improvement of
XWiki coming out of the community. It is a plug-in and therefore is
fairly independent from the regular XWiki development and build process.
By referencing xwiki.jar (and novell's ldap jar) you should be able to
compile the sources that I provided. I have also added the class files.
You are corret the last bug fixes I checked in in the mentioned
attachment.
If you haven't done before, before you go thorough compiling the
plug-in try out the classes. See if you can handle the configuration.
Regards,
Gunter

Hi Gunter,
Thanks for jumping in here!
Please, let me sum up what I am understanding while dealing with ldap
authentication.
1. XE includes a ldap authentication class (ldap-UNKNOWN.jar) which
we can not use simultaneously with XWiki DB. If I activate ldap
authentication (xwiki.authentication.ldap=1), XWiki DB won't be
asked for the existence of a given user.
2. With JIRA-1079 classes it is possible to use ldap authentication
and XWiki DB: if ldap fails to authenticate an user, XWiki will
check its database before rejecting the login.
3. JIRA-1079 classes support SSL binding with ldap servers.
From here, please, *what is the JIRA-1079 class **most updated release
**supporting SSL binding? *Is it
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/secure/attachment/11160/LDAPAuthenticater.java
date on June 18th, 2007?
Please, what do we need to compile it?
I've gone ahead and updated to 1.2M1. I am not able to bind to our
eDirectory server. I've not used SSL before, so I don't remember how
could I connect to an eDirectory server without confidenciality until
now. But it worked. Please, do you know if this is possible and how?
Thanks.
Sorry if I have not skills enough as to follow the JIRA-1079 issue.
Mainly I don't understand how it relates with the "regular" XWiki
development process. Any help will be welcome!
All the best,
Ricardo
