Re: [xwiki-users] log4j doesn't log information about LDAP connection
Hey,
there are some good news and some not so good ones.
After I upgraded xwiki to Version 2.3.1 and reconfigured xwiki.cfg the
ActiveDirectory-Authentication works. User now can login. But has no rights.
Now of course, I have to set some groupmapping. I did it like that:
xwiki.authentication.ldap.group_mapping=XWiki.GruppeA=cn=Standort,ou=Standortgruppen,ou=Gruppen,ou=Another
Group
So now, that doesn't work. There are three things I want to know:
1. do I have to add the "dc=domain,dc=suffix" string at the end?
2. the last group contains a space - can that be a problem?
3. are there any other things that can be wrong?
By the way, "GruppeA" exists in the wiki. I created it and granted some rights.
Best Regards :-)

This log is because when you access XWiki the authenticator is called
with no user for SSO based authenticators.
You should have another "Starting LDAP authentication" with different
logs after this one, just look at the time when you try to
authenticate and takes the logs from this time and send them here so
that i can look at them.

Re: [xwiki-users] log4j doesn't log information about LDAP connection
Hello Thomas,
this morning I had the possibility to restart the whole server on which xwiki
and tomcat are running.
You won't beleave me but now there is some Logging and the "Starting LDAP
authentication" string in the xwiki.log. crazy.
But authentication fails. ("Invalid credentials"). xwiki.log sais the following:
"The provided User is null. We don't try to authenticate, it probably means the
user is in non logged mode."
Any idea what that means here and what to do???
Thanks for your help!!!

Try setting "trace" level instead of "debug" and see if you have
"Starting LDAP authentication" to really make sure you don't have log
because of some very magical authenticator bug, that way we will at
least know we have to focus in logging.

Re: [xwiki-users] log4j doesn't log information about LDAP connection
Sorry to jump into this discussion, but I do have a suggestion: Currently (in version 2.3), the log4j.properties are in the archive xwiki-core-2.3.jar. If I want to change the setting, I have to un-jar the archive, change the log4j.properties, re-jar the archive, but it back in place and restart the server. I believe that this is quite a hazzle, esp. since XWiki logs even INFO: In a production-environment you would not want this to create a multi-MEG-file of logging-stuff. So why not simply remove that log4j.properties from the jar-archive and put it into WEB-INF/classes? That would make life a whole lot easier for all of us.

Hello Thomas,

I put the log4j.properties file in the '/WEB-INF/classes/' directory.
The xwiki.log also isn't empty and shows e.g. all *.jar files which are used by
running xwiki and loaded on startup of tomcat.
>Did you properly enabled LDAP ayhenticator (with property

Yes, I did it like that and also set the following properties in xwiki:
xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl
xwiki.authentication.ldap=1
xwiki.authentication.ldap.server=IP-Adress
xwiki.authentication.ldap.port=389

[xwiki-users] log4j doesn't log information about LDAP connection
Hi, we tried to connect our xwiki (version 2.2.2.) to our ActiveDirectory Server (LDAP). That failed. So we wanted to use log4j for logging the activities. We configured it as described in the xwiki documentation. (Adding an log4j.properties and the debug strings for LDAP.) But there are no information about the LDAP connection or failures in the xwiki.log. Did we forget something important? Hoping for your help.
