Hallo thanks for the hints.
i tried some other configurations but with no luck. it seems not every user is allowed to query the ldap structure. i have to use a special user/password to bind xwiki to the active directory. that user can login but thats not a solution. aloow everyone to query the ad is not an option for us. has anyone a working active directory config he or she could share? is it possible to trick xwiki to use a different user to bind to the AD and then use username/password from login to process the login? i've been doing similar things for bugzilla/ldap using LDAPbinddn = cn=<LDAPQUERYUSERNAME>,cn=Users,dc=domain,dc=com:<LDAPQUERYPASSWORD> btw: yes i am sure its version 1.3.2.9174. its the one copy pasted from xwiki. unless its not correct there but that would be weird. any hints or examples would be cool :) thanks a lot regards werner Thomas Mortagne schrieb: > Also I think > http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication#HLDAPConfigurationforActiveDirectory > is based in old LDAP authenticator (see > http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/AuthenticationLdapOld). > > On Thu, Apr 17, 2008 at 7:35 PM, Thomas Mortagne > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> >> >> On Thu, Apr 17, 2008 at 7:02 PM, werner mueller >> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> > hallo >> > >> > i am currently trying to setup xwiki on taomcat 5.5/mysql. until now its >> > doing quite well :) >> > >> > my next step is to get ldap authentication against an active directory >> > working. i followed >> > >> http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication#HLDAPConfigurationforActiveDirectory >> > and some postings on the mailing list but i cant get it to work. >> > >> > i either end up with: >> > com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.ldap.XWikiLDAPException: Error number 0 in 5: LDAP >> > bind failed with LDAPException. >> > Wrapped Exception: Invalid Credentials >> > >> > or worse (with in my eyes the propper config): >> > WARN LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthS >> > erviceImpl - LDAP authentication failed. >> > java.lang.NullPointerException >> > at >> > >> com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl.ldapAuthenticate(XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl.java:256) >> > at >> > >> com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl.authenticate(XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl.java:107) >> > at >> > >> com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.MyFormAuthenticator.authenticate(MyFormAuthenticator.java:194) >> > at >> > >> com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.MyFormAuthenticator.processLogin(MyFormAuthenticator.java:127) >> > at >> > >> com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.MyFormAuthenticator.processLogin(MyFormAuthenticator.java:112) >> > at >> > >> com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.XWikiAuthServiceImpl.checkAuth(XWikiAuthServiceImpl.java:214) >> > at com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.checkAuth(XWiki.java:3307) >> > at >> > >> com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.XWikiRightServiceImpl.checkAccess(XWikiRightServiceImpl.java:136) >> > at com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.checkAccess(XWiki.java:3315) >> > at com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.prepareDocuments(XWiki.java:4259) >> > at com.xpn.xwiki.web.XWikiAction.execute(XWikiAction.java:173) >> > ... >> >> Could you copy/paste your configuration. >> >> >> > >> > >> > i've done ldap auth on several other tools (apache/subversion, >> > bugzilla). there i used two accounts: one allowed to bind to the active >> > directory and do searches and the useraccount itself. >> > >> > in the xwiki config i can only see the user logging in is used to bind >> > to the ldap server? >> >> You can define a user able to bind to the active directory using >> "bind_DN" and "bind_pass" properties and it will search for provided >> login in ldap based on "UID_attr" property >> >> >> > >> > >> > is the documentation current for xwiki 1.3.2.9174? or can someone give >> > me a hint to make this work? >> >> Are you sure you use xwiki-core 1.3.2 version, I can't find in the >> code what could make NullPointerException at >> XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl.java:256 >> >> >> > >> > >> > thanks a lot >> > regards >> > >> > werner >> > >> > _______________________________________________ >> > users mailing list >> > [email protected] >> > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users >> > >> >> >> >> -- >> Thomas Mortagne >> > > > _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
