Hi all, 

I just recently upgraded to 5.3 and have now created a sub wiki for the first 
time. My main wiki is configured to authenticate using LDAP and has a base 
search DN set to an OU called "AllUsers". In Active Directory the AllUsers OU 
contains several sub OU's which separate users according to branch, department 
ect. Having the LDAP set up to search the AllUsers OU allows for anyone in our 
company to use the main wiki by logging in with their network credentials and 
works great. 

When I created the sub wiki, I went through the wizard and selected to only 
have local users be available in it, as this sub wiki is to be used and 
administrated by a specific department only. What I would like to achieve now 
is to have the users of the sub wiki be authenticated using a different search 
base than that of the main wiki (aka the OU that contains only users for that 
department). 

So instead of using the following, which is defined in the xwiki.cfg: 

xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN=OU=All Users,DC=mycompanyt,DC=com 

The sub wiki would use this for authentication: 

xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN=OU=Accounting,OU=myBranch,OU=All 
Users,DC=mycompanyt,DC=com 

I read in the documentation " Use cases of configuration to authenticate users 
with LDAP " that each wiki in a multiwiki environment can have its own LDAP 
configuration, however I am unable to determine how to do this, as there is 
only one xwiki.cfg file that contains my LDAP configuration and there is no 
mention of any LDAP settings in the xwiki.preferences page of the sub wiki. 

any help is greatly appreciated!
