Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't seem to help. The users in my LDAP contain indeed a dot in the uid. So, I put xwiki.authentication.convertemail=2 in xwiki.conf and the authentication failed. I monitored the LDAP communication with the "LDAP debugging" settings in classes/logback.xml and noticed that the uid that is sent to LDAP contains "_" instead of "." (dot). So using this conf setting, would mean transforming the uids in LDAP to a format with underscores ("_") instead of dots ("."), which is not possible. -- Fita Adrian On Wed, Sep 5, 2012 at 7:54 PM, Denis Gervalle <dgl@softec.lu> wrote:
Hi,
You are probably experiencing the issue describe in XWIKI-3469 ( http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-3469). If you have usernames with dots and some flexibility on your LDAP, a partial workaround could to add in xwiki.cfg:
xwiki.authentication.convertemail=2
This will convert usernames containing dots (and @), into usernames with underscores (John.Doe => John_Doe). Since this cleanup is done earlier, it may improve this issue if user respect their name properly and your ldap is adapted. Regards,

Hi. I have an Xwiki Enterprise 3.4 installation and I'm studying the integration with LDAP.
I managed to configure the authentication, I created the users and mapped the groups with the LDAP server.
But I noticed that the performance dropped dramatically when using LDAP auth, in comparison with local users, specifically it takes around 10 seconds to access a page (down from <3sec).
So, I started monitoring the traffic between the xwiki machine and the LDAP machine with tshark and I noticed that every time I click a link in xwiki, there is a lot of traffic with LDAP. Is there some way to improve this behaviour (I really don't understand why xwiki needs to talk with the LDAP server on every page request...)? I see that this is not a new issue [1], [2]. I also tried setting xwiki.authentication.always=0 in xwiki.cfg but I didn't notice any change (it being set to 0 by default already...). Would upgrading to the latest stable version improve the situation?
