LDAP wrong configuration

Help / Discuss

Hi
I’m trying to setup the LDAP. My configuration file looks

xwiki.authentication.authclass=org.xwiki.contrib.ldap.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl
xwiki.authentication.ldap=1
xwiki.authentication.ldap.trylocal=1
xwiki.authentication.ldap.server=172.3.20.1
xwiki.authentication.ldap.port=389
xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN=DC=Domain,DC=INTERNAL
xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=CN=wiki,OU=Virtual Users,DC=Domain,DC=INTERNAL
xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass=Password
xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=sAMAccountName
xwiki.authentication.ldap.update_user=1
xwiki.authentication.ldap.fields_mapping=last_name=sn,first_name=GivenName,email=mail,name=sAMAccountName,ldap_dn=dn

loggin to xwiki from LDAP works fine.
I don’t want have user and password in file so I change
xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=CN={0},OU=Virtual Users,DC=Domain,DC=INTERNAL
xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass={1}
but this configuration doesn’t work :frowning:

Hi @ewa

Xwiki needs credentials to connect to ldap server, so you have to put it in file. You can create domain credentials specially to xwiki authentication with minimum rights is you want to minimize credentials leak harm.

Hi,

Have you tried this approach? Does it assist you? Let me know.

From what I understand of your log, looks like the authenticator is not given the LDAP UID value (“user”) that your configuration expect as input but the AD style full reference domain\uid (domain\user) that can be used directly as bind DN usually (so xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN={0}).
