Help / Discuss
1

I am configuring LDAP authentication for xwiki (10.11.8) over SSL.
I have added the below configuration in my xwiki.cfg file

xwiki.authentication.ldap=1

xwiki.authentication.authclass=org.xwiki.contrib.ldap.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl
xwiki.authentication.ldap.trylocal=1

xwiki.authentication.ldap.server=
xwiki.authentication.ldap.port=636

xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=cn=user name who can access ldap
xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass=password for the above user to access

xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN=dc=value,dc=value
xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=sAMAccountName

#Optional
xwiki.authentication.ldap.user_search_fmt=(sAMAccountName=value of xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN)
xwiki.authentication.ldap.update_user=1

xwiki.authentication.ldap.ssl=1
xwiki.authentication.ldap.ssl.keystore=/path/to/my/cacerts
xwiki.authentication.ldap.ssl.secure_provider=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider
xwiki.authentication.ldap.timeout=1000

Still I dont see it working. I have added LDAP extension from UI. There is no option to test the connectivity to LDAP unlike other tools. after all teh configuration when I try to login using AD details, It just fails. Please help.

From Apache access logs i see below.
10.107.29.163 - - [05/Jul/2019:13:59:13 +0200] “POST /xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin HTTP/1.1” 403 15074

Not able to get anything else from the logger side. Please assist

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

If you can please change the logs to DEBUG/TRACE so you can get more information from xwiki logs and post them here.

Administer xwiki > other > logging > search for org.xwiki.contrib.ldap > click set on this logger.

Then log out with your local admin account and log in with your ldap user to check what happens at the logs.

Best regards,
