[xwiki-users] Xwiki LDAP Authentication doesn't work when you move a user to a different OU in Active Directory
by lukweb 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hello all, I'm working with the last version of XE and i get the LDAP authentication on my Active Directory Domain. My problem is when i move a user to a different OU in the Active Directory, the user can't login in Xwiki anymore...(Error : Wrong password). Is there a way to configure the xwiki.cfg in order the authentication could "browse" the all Active Directory to find the user and allow him to login ? Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Xwiki-LDAP-Authentication-doesn%27t-work-when-you-move… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Another migration problem (3.5 to 4.1.3)
by Jeremie BOUSQUET 17 Oct '12

17 Oct '12

Hi guys, Tried migrating from 3.5 to 4.1.3 on my test instance, and it seems I'm stuck ... My test wiki is setup as a multi-wiki environment (for workspaces), the main db "xwiki" fails to be migrated, though other ones succeed. I checked other posts about migration issues, and it seems there usually are some indicative logs about what sql fails, in my case I only get a not nice NPE ... I saw other things about custom annotation class, but I do not remember having customized this in any way ... Some residue of previous migrations maybe ? The error in logs at startup is : 2012-08-06 14:06:58,920 [http://hostname:8080/xwikitest/bin/view/Main/] INFO .HibernateDataMigrationManager - Running storage schema updates and migrations 2012-08-06 14:06:59,110 [http://hostname:8080/xwikitest/bin/view/Main/] INFO .HibernateDataMigrationManager - Starting migration for database [xwiki]... 2012-08-06 14:06:59,527 [http://hostname:8080/xwikitest/bin/view/Main/] WARN h.R40001XWIKI7540DataMigration - Skipping database [xwiki] because it uses a custom annotation class.

Re: [xwiki-users] Ratings Application not working
by Mikelbu 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

Thanks for your reply. I have reinstalled the ratings extension multiple times, but with no effect. Maybe the problem is the container restarting. If I restart the xwiki container I´m getting a Apache/Tomcat error: javax.servlet.ServletException: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context So I need to restart the whole Tomcat to get my XWiki working again. Could this be the problem? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Ratings-Application-not-working-tp7379389… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1.1 "LDAP service is not available. Please verify your installation."
by shouldbe q931 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

upgrading from 3.5 on tomcat6 with mysql and LDAP auth against AD OS is Ubuntu 10.0.4 only "customisation" was in hibernate.cfg.xml for database and xwiki.cfg for LDAP and lucene path backed up database downloaded and unzipped new war file stopped tomcat moved webapps/xwiki to a backup location put the new xwiki in webapps/xwiki edited hibernate.cfg.xml: xwiki.cfg and xwiki.properties to match previous removed the LDAP config apart from xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 started up tomcat logged in as local admin imported new admin.xar imported all of it, (well I'd upgraded this install quite a few times and wanted a "clean sheet") changed admin user password changed rights to prevent unregistered users imported the new ldap.xar go to setup LDAP get error "LDAP service is not available. Please verify your installation." logout as local admin login as superadmin and get same errror documentation here http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/LDAP+Application links to here http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication#HLDAPAut… which doesn't have anything specific google searches for the error don't have anything remotely useful all pages are in place and database looks good, but the lack of LDAP auth is a bit of a pain any suggestions, or should I go back to 3.5 and upgrade to 4.1.1 without the LDAP .xar ?

[xwiki-users] html export issue with access rights
by Gabriele Giammatteo 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Dear all, I discovered an unexpected behaviour in my installation of "XWIKI ENTERPRISE 4.2.2". I have in space Main a set of "public" pages meaning that can be viewed by un-registerd users and a set of "private" pages that needs to be logged-in to view them. I achieved such a configuration by (starting from the initial configuration) denying View permission for un-registered users at wiki level (hence by default the wiki is private) and granting explicitly, for each page I want to be public, the View permission for un-registered users. Now, I want to export the space Main in html format. Following the guide at [1], I'm using this URL: http://<SERVER>/xwiki/bin/export/Main/<PAGE>?format=html&pages=Main.%25 If PAGE=MyPrivatePage (a private page) and I'm not logged-in, the browser redirects me to the login page. Correct. If PAGE=MyPublicPage (a public page) and I'm not logged-in the export works. Then opening the zip archive returned, I found that it contains also private pages! In the matter of facts, as un-registered user I did an export of the entire space starting from a page viewable by unregistered users and I obtained in the zip ALL pages including pages that I cannot normally view from the browser! For what I understood, xwiki checks access rights for PAGE, but if allowed, then the export includes all pages regardless whether the user that is requesting the export can view those pages or not. Maybe I just set permissions in the wrong way. Can someone give me a hint on this? Thank you very much, Gabriele [1] http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/Exports

[xwiki-users] XWiki 3.5: Renaming Spaces including sub-pages
by drolgaf 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hi all, I have a major problem here, as we have around 10 Spaces filled with many pages and now we need to rename some spaces. We'd like to move the sub pages in these spaces too. Finally, a space should have a new name, and all pages below should be referenced to the new space name correctly (including those backlinks at the top). I can't believe this isn't possible :-( http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Rename+Space doesn't help obviously.

[xwiki-users] unable to build binaries that are exactly same as official 4.1.3 stable build
by ray ye 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

i'm trying to create the official 4.1.3 stable build by building from source code. but couldn't find the correct source code revision for official 4.1.3 stable Source code location: https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform branch: stable-4.1.x Actually, i was trying to find a branch or tag that contains stable-4.1.3, stable-4.1.x is the closest thing i can find in github The content of jar file are very different between what i built from 4.1.x and what was distribued in xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-4.1.3.zip For example: the jar file name of oldcore is called xwiki-platform-legacy-oldcore-4.1.3.jar in xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-4.1.3.zip, and it has compatibility sub folder the name is called xwiki-platform-oldcore-4.1-SNAPSHOT.jar, when compiled from stable-4.1.x, and it does have compatibility sub folder. this is just one of the differences Thank you very much Ray

[xwiki-users] upgrade question
by Bob Egolf 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

I am trying to upgrade from 3.0 rc1 to something more current. I have tried to go from 3.0 -> 3.5 and from 3.0 -> 4.1.3 both times I lost the ability to see my user rights and my document index. I was just trying to upgrade the core components so I was not importing the default xar, although I did try that too following the precautions not to import Preferences and Rights pages. Do I need to go sequentially through all versions or is there a suggestion on how I may accomplish this? My wiki currently is not that big but we are getting prepared to rollout to larger audience and I would like to upgrade before. Thanks for any advice, Bob
