1.1 | 1 | 1 User Authentication |
| 2 | |||
 |
1.18 | 3 | XWiki supports several different authentication mechanisms for authenticating users: |
| |
1.1 | 4 | #toc("" "" "") |
| 5 | |||
| 6 | The form authentication is the default mechanism. | ||
| 7 | |||
 |
10.1 | 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 | ||

| |
1.2 | 17 | 1.1.1 Generic LDAP configuration |
| |
1.1 | 18 | |
| |
1.2 | 19 | In order to enable the LDAP support you have to change the authentication method in ~~WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg~~ as follows: |
| 20 | {code} | ||
| |
7.1 | 21 | ## Turn LDAP authentication on - otherwise only XWiki authentication |
| 22 | ## 0 : disable | ||
| 23 | ## 1 : enable | ||
| |
1.2 | 24 | xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 |
| |
7.1 | 25 | |
| 26 | ## set LDAP as authentication service | ||
| 27 | xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.ldap.authentication.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl | ||
| |
1.2 | 28 | {code} |
| 29 | |||
| |
2.1 | 30 | You can setup the LDAP configuration in the ~~xwiki.cfg~~ file by filling the following properties: |
| |
1.2 | 31 | |
| |
6.1 | 32 | {code:none} |
| 33 | ## LDAP Server (Active Directory, eDirectory, OpenLDAP, etc.) | ||
| 34 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.server=156.58.101.204 | ||
| |
1.1 | 35 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.port=389 |
| |
6.1 | 36 | |
| 37 | ## LDAP login, empty = anonymous access, otherwise specify full dn | ||
| 38 | ## {0} is replaced with the username, {1} with the password | ||
| |
1.1 | 39 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=cn={0},department=USER,department=INFORMATIK,department=1230,o=MP |
| 40 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass={1} | ||
| |
6.1 | 41 | |
| 42 | ## only members of the following group will be verified in the LDAP | ||
| 43 | ## otherwise only users that are found after searching starting from the base_DN | ||
| 44 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.user_group=cn=developers,ou=groups,o=MegaNova,c=US | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | ## base DN for searches | ||
| 47 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN= | ||
| 48 | department=USER,department=INFORMATIK,department=1230,o=MP | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | ## specifies the LDAP attribute containing the identifier to be used as the XWiki name (default=cn) | ||
| 51 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=cn | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | ## retrieve the following fields from LDAP and store them in the XWiki user object (xwiki-attribute=ldap-attribute) | ||
| 54 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.fields_mapping=last_name=sn,first_name=givenName,fullname=fullName,email=mail,ldap_dn=dn | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | # on every login update the mapped attributes from LDAP to XWiki otherwise this happens only once when the XWiki account is created. | ||
| 57 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.update_user=1 | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | ## maps XWiki groups to LDAP groups, separator is "|" | ||
| 60 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.group_mapping=XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup=cn=AdminRole,ou=groups,o=MegaNova,c=US|\ | ||
| 61 | XWiki.Organisation=cn=testers,ou=groups,o=MegaNova,c=US | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | ## time in seconds after which the list of members in a group is refreshed from LDAP (default=3600*6) | ||
| 64 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.groupcache_expiration=21800 | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | ## - create : synchronize group membership only when the user is first created | ||
| 67 | ## - always: synchronize on every login | ||
| 68 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.mode_group_sync=always | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | ## if ldap authentication fails for any reason, try XWiki DB authentication with the same credentials | ||
| 71 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.trylocal=1 | ||
| |
8.1 | 72 | |
| 73 | ## SSL connection to LDAP server | ||
| 74 | ## 0 : normal | ||
| 75 | ## 1 : SSL | ||
| 76 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.ssl=1 | ||

1.3 | 102 | 1.1.1 LDAP Configuration for Active Directory |
| |
1.1 | 103 | |
| |
1.3 | 104 | Here are values of the properties you need to set if your LDAP server implementation is Miscrosoft Active Directory: |
| 105 | - *ldap_server*: name/IP of AD server machine | ||
| 106 | - *ldap_port*: port ~~(e.g. 389)~~ | ||
| 107 | - *ldap_check_level*: 1 | ||
| 108 | - *ldap_base_DN*: name of root DN ~~(e.g. dc=ad,dc=company,dc=com)~~ | ||
| 109 | - *ldap_bind_DN*: domain\{0\} ~~(e.g. ad\{0\} where \{0\} will be replaced by username during validation)~~ | ||
| 110 | - *ldap_bind_pass*: \{1\} ~~(where \{1\} will be replaced by password during validation)~~ | ||
| 111 | - *ldap_UID_attr*: sAMAccountName | ||
| 112 | - *ldap_fields_mapping*: name=sAMAccountName,last_name=sn,first_name=givenName,fullname=displayName,mail=mail,ldap_dn=dn | ||
| 113 | |||
| |
1.19 | 114 | Example: |
| 115 | {code} | ||
| 116 | xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 | ||
| 117 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.LDAPAuthServiceImpl | ||
| 118 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.server=adserver | ||
| 119 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.check_level=1 | ||
| 120 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.port=389 | ||
| 121 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN=dc=subdomain,dc=domain,dc=suffix | ||
| 122 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=subdomain\\{0} | ||
| 123 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass={1} | ||
| 124 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=sAMAccountName | ||
| 125 | xwiki.authentication.ldap.fields_mapping=name=sAMAccountName,last_name=sn,first_name=givenName,fullname=displayName,mail=mail,ldap_dn=dn | ||
| 126 | {code} | ||
| |
1.3 | 127 | |
| |
1.19 | 128 | 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. |
| 129 | |||
| 130 | |||
| 131 | 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. | ||
| 132 | |||
| 133 | 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. | ||
| 134 | |||
| 135 | This java client, [LDAP Browser/Editor > http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/] is a handy tool for checking your configuration. | ||
| 136 | |||
| 137 | |||
| |
1.1 | 138 | 1.1 eXo Authentication |
| 139 | |||
| 140 | The eXo authentication is used automatically by adding/editing the ~~xwiki.exo=1~~ property in ~~WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg~~. | ||
| 141 | |||
| 142 | 1.1 Custom Authentication | ||
| 143 | |||
| 144 | This allows plugging to any existing authentication mechanism such as SiteMinder, etc. To configure a custom authentication do the following: | ||
| 145 | # Implement the XWikiAuthService interface. | ||
| 146 | # Edit the ~~WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg~~ file and add a ~~xwiki.authentication.authclass~~ property pointing to your class. For example: | ||
| 147 | |||
| 148 | {code} | ||
| 149 | xwiki.authentication.authclass = com.acme.MyCustomAuthenticationService | ||
| 150 | {code} | ||
| 151 | |||
| |
4.1 | 152 | Note, that you also can implement own right management service by implementing XWikiRightService interface: |
| 153 | {code} | ||
| |
5.1 | 154 | xwiki.authentication.rightsclass = com.acme.MyCustomRightsService |
| |
4.1 | 155 | {code} |
| 156 | |||
| |
5.1 | 157 | and group service by implementing XWikiGroupService and setting ~~xwiki.authentication.groupclass~~ property. |
| |
4.1 | 158 | |
| 159 | |||
| 160 | |||
| 161 | |||
| |
5.1 | 162 | |
| |
1.14 | 163 | 1.1 Authentication parameters |
| 164 | |||
| 165 | You can set each of these parameters by setting: | ||
| 166 | |||
