Vincent Massol 12.1 31 = Authentication Mechanisms =
32
Vincent Massol 10.1 33 XWiki Standard embeds several authentication mechanisms by default:
slauriere 1.1 34
Vincent Massol 3.1 35 * Form authentication
36 * Basic authentication
slauriere 1.1 37
Vincent Massol 3.1 38 In addition XWiki allows you to create your own authentication extension in order to integrate with any custom mechanism you might be using already (SSO, etc).
slauriere 1.1 39
Vincent Massol 11.2 40 Additional authenticators are available as extensions on [[extensions.xwiki.org>>extensions:Main.WebHome]]:
Vincent Massol 7.1 41
Vincent Massol 10.1 42 {{velocity}}
43 #set ($xwql = "from doc.object(ExtensionCode.ExtensionClass) as extension, doc.object(EXOExtensionCode.ExtensionClass) as exoextension where extension.category = 'authenticator'")
44 #set ($extensions = $services.query.xwql($xwql).setWiki('extensions').execute())
45 #foreach ($extension in $extensions)
46 * [[extensions:$extension]]
47 #end
48 {{/velocity}}

51 Note that several extensions are not yet categorized in the ##authenticator## category on [[extensions.xwiki.org>>extensions:Main.WebHome]] and this is why they don't appear in the list above. For the moment, here's list of all extensions having "Authenticator" in the name:

54 #set ($xwql = "from doc.object(ExtensionCode.ExtensionClass) as extension, doc.object(EXOExtensionCode.ExtensionClass) as exoextension where extension.name like '%Authenticator%'")
55 #set ($extensions = $services.query.xwql($xwql).setWiki('extensions').execute())
56 #foreach ($extension in $extensions)
57 * [[extensions:$extension]]
