Wiki source code of User Authentication

Version 75.1 by Thomas Mortagne on 2014/09/27

Hide last authors
jmcettrick 1.18 1 XWiki supports several different authentication mechanisms for authenticating users:
Vincent Massol 1.1 2
Silvia Macovei 34.2 3 {{toc/}}
Silvia Macovei 34.1 4
5 {{info}}
Manuel Smeria 64.2 6 XWiki currently allows only one method of authentication to be enabled at a time. This will probably be improved in the future.
Silvia Macovei 34.1 7 {{/info}}
Vincent Massol 1.1 8
Vincent Massol 72.1 9 Also note that XWiki requires cookies to be enable in order to track your session and to keep you logged in between pages.
10
Silvia Macovei 34.2 11 = Form Authentication =
Vincent Massol 1.1 12
Sorin Burjan 38.2 13 Form authentication is the default way to get authenticated within a Wiki. It requires a user and a password.
Vincent Massol 1.1 14
Vincent Massol 46.1 15 = Basic Authentication =
16
Manuel Smeria 64.2 17 XWiki supports [[basic access authentication>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication]], a method designed to allow a web browser or other client programs to provide credentials - in the form of a user name and password - when making a request. You can get authenticated against an XWiki server with the basic authentication protocol using the following URL scheme:
Vincent Massol 46.1 18
19 {{code}}
20 http://username:password@mywiki.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?basicauth=1
21 {{/code}}
22
23 {{warning}}
Manuel Smeria 64.2 24 Be careful that if you use the ##HTTP## protocol your password will be sent in clear over the network and is thus very unsafe. When using basic authentication you should make sure your wiki is configured to use ##HTTPS##.
Vincent Massol 46.1 25 {{/warning}}
26
Vincent Massol 70.1 27 = Container Authentication =
28
29 Delegates authentication to the Servlet Container. If it fails it falls back to the standard XWiki authentication.
30
31 To configure XWiki to use it, specify:
32
33 {{code}}
34 xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.AppServerTrustedAuthServiceImpl
35 {{/code}}
36
Vincent Massol 62.1 37 = Social Login =
Valdis Vitolins 58.1 38
Manuel Smeria 64.2 39 See the [[Social Login Application>>extensions:Extension.Social Login Application]].
Valdis Vitolins 58.1 40
Silvia Macovei 34.2 41 = LDAP Authentication =
Vincent Massol 1.1 42
tshah12 67.1 43 If you are going to use the [[LDAP Admin Extension>>http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/LDAP+Application#HPrerequisites26InstallationInstructions]], which makes it easier to configure LDAP, then you only need to uncomment xwiki.authentication.authclass property and //nothing// else. Unlike editing xwiki.cfg, which requires you to redeploy xWiki app, LDAP Extension allows you to make changes without restarting.
tshah12 65.1 44
Silvia Macovei 34.2 45 == Generic LDAP configuration ==
Vincent Massol 1.1 46
Silvia Macovei 34.1 47 In order to enable the LDAP support you have to change the authentication method in //WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg// as follows:
48
Thomas Mortagne 54.1 49 {{code language="properties"}}

Manuel Smeria 64.2 190 You can also setup the LDAP configuration in the XWiki.XWikiPreferences page by going to the object editor. Simply replace **xwiki.authentication.ldap.** with **ldap_**. For example ##xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN## becomes ##ldap_base_DN##.

Thomas Mortagne 9.1 192
jmcettrick 1.19 193 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.
194
Manuel Smeria 64.2 195 Here are some LDAP clients for checking your configuration:
jmcettrick 1.19 196
Thomas Mortagne 52.1 197 Java based and Open Source:
Thomas Mortagne 56.1 198
Silvia Macovei 34.1 199 * [[Apache Directory Studio>>http://directory.apache.org/studio/]]
Manuel Smeria 64.2 200 * [[JXplorer>>http://jxplorer.org/]]

Silvia Macovei 34.2 206 == Detailed use cases ==
Thomas Mortagne 12.1 207
Manuel Smeria 64.2 208 See the [[LDAP configuration uses cases>>LDAPAuthenticationUseCases]] for some detailed use cases.
Thomas Mortagne 25.1 209
Silvia Macovei 34.2 210 == Enable LDAP debug log ==
Silvia Macovei 34.1 211
Thomas Mortagne 42.1 212 See [[AdminGuide.Logging]].
Silvia Macovei 34.1 213
Thomas Mortagne 45.1 214 The specific packages to track for LDAP are ##com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.ldap## and ##com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP##.
Thomas Mortagne 27.1 215
Sorin Burjan 64.4 216 Starting with XWiki 4.2 we added a new [[Logging UI>>extensions:Extension.Logging Application]] from the Administration section, which allows logging to be enabled at runtime, directly from the UI, without the need to restart the wiki.
Sorin Burjan 64.3 217
AdrianFita 49.1 218 In XWiki 3.4 you need to add the following in ##WEB-INF/classes/logback.xml##:
219
220 {{code}}
221 <!-- LDAP debugging -->
222 <logger name="com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.ldap" level="trace"/>
223 <logger name="com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP" level="trace"/>
224 {{/code}}
225
Thomas Mortagne 42.1 226 Before 3.1, add the following to the log4j configuration file:
227
Thomas Mortagne 44.1 228 {{code}}
229 log4j.logger.com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.ldap=trace
230 log4j.logger.com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP=trace
231 {{/code}}
232
Silvia Macovei 34.2 233 = Custom Authentication =
Vincent Massol 1.1 234
235 This allows plugging to any existing authentication mechanism such as SiteMinder, etc. To configure a custom authentication do the following:
236
Sergiu Dumitriu 47.2 237 1. Implement the {{scm path="xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-oldcore/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/user/api/XWikiAuthService.java"}}XWikiAuthService{{/scm}} interface.
Silvia Macovei 34.1 238 1. Edit the //WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg// file and add a //xwiki.authentication.authclass// property pointing to your class. For example:
239
Thomas Mortagne 56.1 240 {{code language="properties"}}
Vincent Massol 1.1 241 xwiki.authentication.authclass = com.acme.MyCustomAuthenticationService
Silvia Macovei 34.1 242 {{/code}}
Vincent Massol 1.1 243
Manuel Smeria 64.2 244 You can find various [[authenticators examples>>https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/sandbox/tree/master/authenticators]].
Thomas Mortagne 56.1 245
Silvia Macovei 34.1 246 Here's a [[tutorial on implementing a custom authentication class for authenticating against Oracle's SSO>>http://bodez.wordpress.com/2008/10/15/xwiki-user-authentication-with-oracle-sso/]].
Vincent Massol 27.2 247
Manuel Smeria 64.2 248 Note, that you can also implement own right management service by implementing the {{scm path="xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-oldcore/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/user/api/XWikiRightService.java"}}XWikiRightService{{/scm}} interface:
Silvia Macovei 34.1 249
Thomas Mortagne 57.1 250 {{code language="properties"}}
rssh 5.1 251 xwiki.authentication.rightsclass = com.acme.MyCustomRightsService
Silvia Macovei 34.1 252 {{/code}}
rssh 4.1 253
Sergiu Dumitriu 47.2 254 and Group Service by implementing {{scm path="xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-oldcore/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/user/api/XWikiGroupService.java"}}XWikiGroupService{{/scm}}:
rssh 4.1 255
Thomas Mortagne 57.1 256 {{code language="properties"}}
Vincent Massol 27.3 257 xwiki.authentication.groupclass = com.acme.MyCustomGroupService
Silvia Macovei 34.1 258 {{/code}}
rssh 4.1 259
Silvia Macovei 34.2 260 == Custom Authentication using a Groovy script in a wiki page ==
Vincent Massol 28.1 261
262 Start by specifying you want to use the Groovy Authenticator:
263
Thomas Mortagne 57.1 264 {{code language="properties"}}
Vincent Massol 28.1 265 xwiki.authentication.authclass = com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.GroovyAuthServiceImpl
Silvia Macovei 34.1 266 {{/code}}
Vincent Massol 28.1 267
268 Then add another configuration parameter to specify in which wiki page the authenticator is:
269
Thomas Mortagne 57.1 270 {{code language="properties"}}
Vincent Massol 28.1 271 xwiki.authentication.groovy.pagename = MySpace.MyPage
Silvia Macovei 34.1 272 {{/code}}
Vincent Massol 28.1 273
Manuel Smeria 64.2 274 Then put some Groovy code in a wiki page that returns a XWikiAuthService object.
Vincent Massol 28.1 275
Thomas Mortagne 37.1 276 = Authentication parameters =
ShawnLauzon 1.14 277
278 You can set each of these parameters by setting:
279
Silvia Macovei 34.1 280 {{code}}
ShawnLauzon 1.14 281 xwiki.authentication.~~param_name~~=~~param_value~~
Silvia Macovei 34.1 282 {{/code}}

JasperSiepkes 21.1 307
Silvia Macovei 34.1 308 {{warning}}
309 This implementation of SSO is currently under review see: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2496 . The class which is described in this segment of documentation, AppServerTrustedKerberosAuthServiceImpl, is not part of the default XWiki distribution!
310 {{/warning}}
311
Manuel Smeria 64.2 312 The following is an example of **mod_auth_kerb** for Apache being used to easily implement XWiki authentication of users via HTTP Negotiate on a linux server. This example assumes you already have a working Apache2 HTTPD and Apache Tomcat setup with mod_jk.
jmcettrick 1.18 313
JasperSiepkes 20.1 314 First of all you need to create a principal and keytab for the webserver:
Silvia Macovei 34.1 315
316 {{code}}
JasperSiepkes 20.1 317 # kadmin
318 kadmin> addprinc -randkey HTTP/wiki.example.com
319 kadmin> ktadd -k /etc/apache2/ssl/wiki.keytab HTTP/wiki.example.com
320 kadmin> quit
Silvia Macovei 34.1 321 {{/code}}
Thomas Mortagne 10.1 322
JasperSiepkes 20.1 323 Make sure the keytab has the right permissions and ownership:
Silvia Macovei 34.1 324
325 {{code}}
JasperSiepkes 20.1 326 chown www-data:www-data /etc/apache2/ssl/wiki.keytab
327 chmod 400 /etc/apache2/ssl/wiki.keytab
Silvia Macovei 34.1 328 {{/code}}
Thomas Mortagne 11.1 329
Manuel Smeria 64.2 330 Install **mod_auth_kerb** in your linux installation. On Debian or Ubuntu this would be achieved by running:
Silvia Macovei 34.1 331
332 {{code}}
JasperSiepkes 20.1 333 aptitude install libapache2-mod-auth-kerb
Silvia Macovei 34.1 334 {{/code}}
335
JasperSiepkes 20.1 336 Of course the installation procedure varies per Linux distribution.
337
338 If your xwiki installation is mounted in Apache HTTPD under /xwiki, add the following to the virtual host configuration:
Silvia Macovei 34.1 339
340 {{code}}
JasperSiepkes 20.1 341 <Location /xwiki/>
342 AuthType Kerberos
343 AuthName "Kerberos Login"
344 KrbAuthRealms EXAMPLE.COM
345 Krb5Keytab "/etc/apache2/ssl/wiki.keytab"
346 KrbMethodK5Passwd off
347 KrbMethodNegotiate on
348 KrbSaveCredentials on
349 require valid-user
350 </Location>
Silvia Macovei 34.1 351 {{/code}}
JasperSiepkes 20.1 352
Manuel Smeria 64.2 353 Make sure Apache Tomcat uses the authentication performed by Apache HTTPD with the "tomcatAuthentication" property in the connector description (which is in the **server.xml** file of Apache Tomcat):
Silvia Macovei 34.1 354
355 {{code}}
JasperSiepkes 20.1 356 <Connector port="8009" address="127.0.0.1" enableLookups="false" tomcatAuthentication="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3" />
Silvia Macovei 34.1 357 {{/code}}

Manuel Smeria 64.2 367 If you use Firefox, do not forget to whitelist the xwiki URL for HTTP Negotiate in about:config with the "network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris" property. Possible values for this property include: //https:~/~/// for all secured connections or **example.com** for all example.com subdomains.

Manuel Smeria 64.2 369 When I used JBoss SPNEGO (Kerberos in combination with LDAP) I changed the code of the **XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl** to be able to detect the sso user. The authenication already happend by using the SPNEGO module (JAAS). After that I'm using the ldap synchronisation feature to make sure that the user is up to date. The combination leads to an automatic login in XWiki and the user rights are controlled in the Active Directory server. I hope you can adopt this code or that you can use it for your own projects.
