| 1 | 1 User Authentication | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | XWiki supports several different authentication mechanisms for authenticating users: | ||
| 4 | #toc("" "" "") | ||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | The form authentication is the default mechanism. | ||
| 7 | |||
| 8 | #info("Note that currently XWiki allows only one method of authentication to be enabled at a time which means you cannot implement policies such as if the user is not found in LDAP then check if he's in the XWiki database. This will probably be improved in the future.") | ||

| 14 | 1.1 LDAP Authentication | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | 1.1.1 Generic LDAP configuration | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | In order to enable the LDAP support you have to change the authentication method in ~~WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg~~ as follows: | ||
| 19 | {code} | ||
| 20 | xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 | ||
| 21 | {code} | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | You can setup the LDAP configuration either on the XWiki.XWikiPreferences page or in the ~~xwiki.cfg~~ file | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | * *XWiki.XWikiPreferences*: you will need to use the class editor to add the following fields: | ||
| 26 | ** ldap_server | ||
| 27 | ** ldap_port | ||
| 28 | ** ldap_check_level | ||
| 29 | ** ldap_base_DN | ||
| 30 | ** ldap_bind_DN | ||
| 31 | ** ldap_bind_pass | ||
| 32 | ** ldap_UID_attr | ||
| 33 | ** ldap_fields_mapping | ||
| 34 | * *xwiki.cfg*: use the following properties in the xwiki.cfg file | ||
| 35 | ** xwiki.authentication.ldap.server | ||
| 36 | ** xwiki.authentication.ldap.port | ||
| 37 | ** xwiki.authentication.ldap.check_level | ||
| 38 | ** xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN | ||
| 39 | ** xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN | ||
| 40 | ** xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass | ||
| 41 | ** xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr | ||
| 42 | ** xwiki.authentication.ldap.fields_mapping | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | Example: | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | {code} | ||
| 47 | xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 | ||
| 48 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl | ||
| 49 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.server=dsmaster | ||
| 50 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.check_level=1 | ||
| 51 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.port=389 | ||
| 52 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN=department=USER,department=INFORMATIK,department=1230,o=MP | ||
| 53 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=cn={0},department=USER,department=INFORMATIK,department=1230,o=MP | ||
| 54 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass={1} | ||
| 55 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=uid | ||
| 56 | {code} | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | 1.1.1 LDAP Configuration for Active Directory | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | Here are values of the properties you need to set if your LDAP server implementation is Miscrosoft Active Directory: | ||
| 61 | - *ldap_server*: name/IP of AD server machine | ||
| 62 | - *ldap_port*: port ~~(e.g. 389)~~ | ||
| 63 | - *ldap_check_level*: 1 | ||
| 64 | - *ldap_base_DN*: name of root DN ~~(e.g. dc=ad,dc=company,dc=com)~~ | ||
| 65 | - *ldap_bind_DN*: domain\{0\} ~~(e.g. ad\{0\} where \{0\} will be replaced by username during validation)~~ | ||
| 66 | - *ldap_bind_pass*: \{1\} ~~(where \{1\} will be replaced by password during validation)~~ | ||
| 67 | - *ldap_UID_attr*: sAMAccountName | ||
| 68 | - *ldap_fields_mapping*: name=sAMAccountName,last_name=sn,first_name=givenName,fullname=displayName,mail=mail,ldap_dn=dn | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | Example: | ||
| 71 | {code} | ||
| 72 | xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 | ||
| 73 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl | ||
| 74 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.server=adserver | ||
| 75 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.check_level=1 | ||
| 76 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.port=389 | ||
| 77 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN=dc=subdomain,dc=domain,dc=suffix | ||
| 78 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=subdomain\\{0} | ||
| 79 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass={1} | ||
| 80 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=sAMAccountName | ||
| 81 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.fields_mapping=name=sAMAccountName,last_name=sn,first_name=givenName,fullname=displayName,mail=mail,ldap_dn=dn | ||
| 82 | {code} | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | The bind_DN and bind_pass fields contain the username and password for binding to the LDAP server in order to search, which will not necessarily be the same credentials as the user logging in. | ||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | The exact details of this configuration will vary based on your server configuration. It may not be necessary to prefix the username (represented by {0}) with the subdomain. | ||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | For testing purposes, you may wish to omit the "ldap.fields_mapping" field, to test the authentication first, and then add it later to get the mappings right. | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | This java client, [LDAP Browser/Editor > http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/] is a handy tool for checking your configuration. | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | |||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | 1.1 eXo Authentication | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | The eXo authentication is used automatically by adding/editing the ~~xwiki.exo=1~~ property in ~~WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg~~. | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | 1.1 Custom Authentication | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | This allows plugging to any existing authentication mechanism such as SiteMinder, etc. To configure a custom authentication do the following: | ||
| 103 | # Implement the XWikiAuthService interface. | ||
| 104 | # Edit the ~~WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg~~ file and add a ~~xwiki.authentication.authclass~~ property pointing to your class. For example: | ||
| 105 | |||
| 106 | {code} | ||
| 107 | xwiki.authentication.authclass = com.acme.MyCustomAuthenticationService | ||
| 108 | {code} | ||
| 109 | |||
| 110 | 1.1 Authentication parameters | ||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | You can set each of these parameters by setting: | ||
| 113 | |||
| 114 | {code} | ||
| 115 | xwiki.authentication.~~param_name~~=~~param_value~~ | ||
| 116 | {code} | ||
