LDAP extension - password matching field

Help / Discuss
1

Completed a test upgrade of my XWiki from 10.6.1 to 10.11. I’ve found an odd thing in the LDAP configuration form (version LDAP Authenticator 9.3.2). In my non-upgraded version the “LDAP password matching” field was a text field… in the 10.11 version it is a password-type field and value is obscured. I don’t know why this is - this isn’t really a password field. Is this a bug?

old source:
<span class=“xHint”>Ldap password matching. Use in combination with Ldap login matching.</span></dt> <dd><input size=‘60’ id=‘XWiki.XWikiPreferences_0_ldap_bind_pass’ value=’&#123;1}’ name=‘XWiki.XWikiPreferences_0_ldap_bind_pass’ type=‘text’/></dd> <dt>

new source:
<span class=“xHint”>Ldap password matching. Use in combination with Ldap login matching.</span></dt> <dd><input size=‘60’ id=‘XWiki.XWikiPreferences_0_ldap_bind_pass’ value=’********’ name=‘XWiki.XWikiPreferences_0_ldap_bind_pass’ type=‘password’/></dd> <dt>

this isn’t really a password field

The thing is that it can be.

The issue that leaded to this change is Loading....

I guess the ideal fix would be a custom displayer with a switch between static password and pattern.

Ah. Thanks for the reference.
