Hi.
   I am evaluating XWiki's LDAP-based authentication capabilities. The 
intention is to have a locked-locked-light wiki instance for my group in a 
large AD-based corporate environment. The LDAP documentation in xwiki.cfg 
clarifies how to map LDAP groups to XWiki groups. However, for ease of ACL 
administration, I would like to treat only users belonging to 
xwiki.authentication.ldap.group_mapping as "registered" users and the rest of 
the users within the corporation as "Guests".
Is there any way of achieving this mapping?

Presently, I have setup LDAP config to authenticate any user within the 
corporation using
xwiki.authentication.ldap.user_group=cn=workers,ou=etc.etc.

This causes every user to be treated as a registered user (after successful 
authentication of course).

The only work around I can see is to have an AD group (say X) that contains all 
the mapped groups specified in xwiki.authentication.ldap.group_mapping, but 
that requires X to be updated in sync with changes made to 
xwiki.authentication.ldap.group_mapping. If I can avoid the need for setting 
and maintaining X, that would be nice.

Thanks,
Milind
