Hi,
I’ve just deployed Xwiki based on official docker images and it seems that it is not able to correctly parse the xwiki.cfg file, here is the mounted file:

root@c4ab4ce9d53e:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF# tail xwiki.cfg 
#xwiki.authentication.cas.fields_mapping=last_name=lastName,first_name=firstName,email=email

# 0 or 1 if create XWiki user after log in
#xwiki.authentication.cas.create_user=1

# 0 or 1 if update user attributes after every log in
#xwiki.authentication.cas.update_user=1

# LDAP 
xwiki.authentication.ldap=1
root@c4ab4ce9d53e:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF#

and here is how it gets mounted:

    volumes:
      - /nfs/xwiki/xwiki-data:/usr/local/xwiki

Here is the content of the mount:

root@dock-test02:/nfs/xwiki/xwiki-data/data# ls -ltr
total 76
drwxr-x--- 1 root root    12 Jun 22 12:05 jobs
drwxr-x--- 1 root root    48 Jun 22 12:05 solr

drwxr-x--- 1 root root    34 Jun 22 12:43 extension
drwxr-x--- 1 root root    10 Jun 22 12:45 storage

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 37161 Sep 29 10:19 xwiki.properties
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27070 Oct 11 14:19 xwiki.cfg

Thanks a lot, I would appreciate any help!

Hi, I’d like to help but I don’t understand the problem and error that you’re getting.

On you side you need to change the xwiki.cfg and xwiki.properties files located in your mount and they get synchronized automatically. See “Configuration Options” on view-source:https://hub.docker.com/_/xwiki/

Sorry, the problem is that I set up xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 on xwiki.cfg and I keep getting

LDAP authentication is not enabled. Please set LDAP as authentication service in xwiki.cfg

So, you are saying that I need to modify something in xwiki.properties? What would be that to enable LDAP ?

Thanks.

I think the problem is not with the docker image but you’re using an old configuration property that’s no longer used.

See http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/LDAP/Authenticator/#H8.3.x (see also http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/AdminGuide/Authentication/#HGenericLDAPconfiguration).

You need to use:

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

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your help.

The thing is that even I set that property,

root@dock-test01:/nfs/xwiki/xwiki-data/data# tail -2 xwiki.cfg 
xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl

the web interface keeps saying that :

LDAP authentication is not enabled. Please set LDAP as authentication service in xwiki.cfg

You should compare more closely what you set and what is in the doc (and what @vmassol pasted).

I see, I should use

org.xwiki.contrib.ldap.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl
