Thanks. I looked at the ‘Use cases of configuration to authenticate users with LDAP’ and tried different approaches to no avail. I can connect to the same LDAP with Redmine, Confluence and some more applications without any problem. xWiki, however, won’t work.
I am now in the process of trying to connect to one of our Test-LDAP-Servers that is not using SSL. Funny enough, I changed xwiki.authentication.ldap.server to =testserver.local but when trying to log in the journalctl -u tomcat9.service still displays LDAP error, can’t connect to liveserver.live instead of the testserver. And yes, I did systemctl restart tomcat9.service
Is there some cache where old configurations are saved? I did try the xwikisas AD connector, which is terrible, and also tried the LDAP Application for setting up LDAP, which does not have enough options to get an SSL LDAP-Server with Login going.
ldapsearch -D “cn=ldapuser,OU=Unix-Server,DC=liveserver,DC=live” -b “OU=Unix-Server,DC=liveserver,DC=live” -H ldaps://liveserver.live:3666 -w livepass
from commandline works without any problem.
I read in https://forum.xwiki.org/t/ldap-ad-configuration-problem-provided-user-is-null-ldap-not-active/3185 that a complete re-install might help.
Has anyone any other suggestions? Any hint / recommendation / tipp appreciated.
