For anyone interested, here are links to a a set of video tutorials I created for admins that need to run XWiki on a Windows machine and how to integrate XWiki in an Active Directory (AD) environment:
-
Installing PostgreSQL on Windows using SSPI - YouTube – Install the database server
-
Installing XWiki on Windows - YouTube – Install JRE, Tomcat, and XWiki WAR package
-
Installing a Windows Domain Certificate in Apache Tomcat - YouTube – Obtain and install an AD domain certificate from a Windows CA (certification authority) for Tomcat
-
Configuring XWiki on Windows to use Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) - YouTube – Configure Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) for XWiki to leverage single sign-on using AD domain users and groups
Hopefully these videos are useful/helpful.
[Aside: If you are a Windows admin, please go vote for this issue in JIRA - https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/LDAP-56 - it would be nice if we didn’t have to “hard-code” the LDAP auth account password in the xwki.cfg
file. Thanks!]
