Yes and it's the default way to work for LDAP authenticator. You can see in default xwiki.cfg : #-# LDAP login, empty = anonymous access, otherwise specify full dn #-# {0} is replaced with the username, {1} with the password #xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=cn={0},department=USER,department=INFORMATIK,department=1230,o=MP #xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass={1} So in your case it would be : xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=cn={0},cn=Users,dc=domain,dc=com xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass={1} > > 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 > >> > users@xwiki.org > >> > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users > >> > > >> > >> > >> > >> -- > >> Thomas Mortagne > >> > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list > users@xwiki.org > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users > -- Thomas Mortagne _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
