Does XWiki Support Authentication via ADFS?

Help / Discuss

Hello,

I’m trying to scope out how XWiki would work with our Active Directory and wanted to know if the ADFS protocol is supported?

I’ve searched around a little and can’t find any specific mention of it, but I’m not an expert, and imagine it might be wrapped up in one of the other supported protocols.

Thanks,
Ben

XWiki authentication on Active Directory is usually done trough LDAP protocol.

Yes, annoyingly we have some security policies to work within which require ADFS or similar “encryption”

The LDAP authenticator support LDAPS (LDAP over SSL), maybe Active Directory support that.

OK. Thanks @tmortagne.

I’ll see if that is an option.

Although I have zero experience with xwiki in this regard, you might use the SAML part of ADFS with this xwiki SAML extension:

(might be an experimental extension, see Jira Loading...)

Just in case your security dept. thinks that LDAPS or LDAP TLS is not secure enough …

Thanks @Beat_Burgener. Very useful info!
