We run XWiki 17.10.13 (LTS) with Java 21, Tomcat 11, and PostgreSQL 18, and we want to connect users to Microsoft Active Directory via LDAP. The extension “LDAP Authenticator” (org.xwiki.contrib.ldap:ldap-authenticator) version 9.16.6 is only built for XWiki 10.11. The dependency check in the Extension Manager shows a mismatch with 17.10.13. When we enable the LDAP service, the local admin is locked out (“LDAP authentication failed”), with no fallback to local accounts, even though trylocal=1 is set.
Any ideas what elst to try?
