|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | XWiki supports several different authentication mechanisms for authenticating users: | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | {{toc/}} | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | {{info}} | ||
| 6 | XWiki currently allows only one method of authentication to be enabled at a time. This will probably be improved in the future. | ||
| 7 | {{/info}} | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | Also note that XWiki requires cookies to be enable in order to track your session and to keep you logged in between pages. | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | = Form Authentication = | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | Form authentication is the default way to get authenticated within a Wiki. It requires a user and a password. | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | = Basic Authentication = | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | XWiki supports [[basic access authentication>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication]], a method designed to allow a web browser or other client programs to provide credentials - in the form of a user name and password - when making a request. You can get authenticated against an XWiki server with the basic authentication protocol using the following URL scheme: | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | {{code}} | ||
| 20 | http://username:[email protected]/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?basicauth=1 | ||
| 21 | {{/code}} | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | {{warning}} | ||
| 24 | Be careful that if you use the ##HTTP## protocol your password will be sent in clear over the network and is thus very unsafe. When using basic authentication you should make sure your wiki is configured to use ##HTTPS##. | ||
| 25 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | = Container Authentication = | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | Delegates authentication to the Servlet Container. If it fails it falls back to the standard XWiki authentication. | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | To configure XWiki to use it, specify: | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | {{code language="properties"}} | ||
| 34 | xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.AppServerTrustedAuthServiceImpl | ||
| 35 | {{/code}} | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | For users to be actually created and not just set as context user you must set in ##xwiki.cfg## configuration file (if the property does not already exist, create it): | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | {{code language="properties"}} | ||
| 40 | xwiki.authentication.createuser=empty | ||
| 41 | {{/code}} | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | = Social Login = | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | See the [[Social Login Application>>extensions:Extension.Social Login Application]]. | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | = LDAP Authentication = | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | Since 7.4 it's recommended to use the new [[LDAP Authenticator extension>>extensions:Extension.LDAP.Authenticator]] instead of the core one. | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | The following documentation is for the core LDAP authenticator which has been removed in 8.3. | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | If you are going to use the [[LDAP Admin Extension>>extensions:Extension.LDAP.Application]], which makes it easier to configure LDAP, then you only need to uncomment xwiki.authentication.authclass property and //nothing// else. Unlike editing xwiki.cfg, which requires you to redeploy the XWiki webapp, LDAP Extension allows you to make changes without restarting. | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | == Generic LDAP configuration == | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | In order to enable the LDAP support you have to change the authentication method in //WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg// as follows: | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | {{code language="properties"}} | ||
| 60 | #-# LDAP authentication service | ||
| 61 | # xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | #-# Turn LDAP authentication on - otherwise only XWiki authentication | ||
| 64 | #-# - 0: disable | ||
| 65 | #-# - 1: enable | ||
| 66 | #-# The default is 1 | ||
| 67 | # xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 | ||
| 68 | {{/code}} | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | You can setup the LDAP configuration in the **xwiki.cfg** file by filling the following properties: | ||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | {{code language="properties"}} | ||
| 73 | #-# Turn LDAP authentication on - otherwise only XWiki authentication | ||
| 74 | #-# - 0: disable | ||

| 231 | |||
| 232 | {{info}} | ||
| 233 | You can also setup the LDAP configuration in the XWiki.XWikiPreferences page by going to the object editor. Simply replace **xwiki.authentication.ldap.** with **ldap_**. For example ##xwiki.authentication.ldap.base_DN## becomes ##ldap_base_DN##. | ||
| 234 | {{/info}} | ||
| 235 | |||
| 236 | == LDAP clients == | ||
| 237 | |||
| 238 | For testing purposes, you may wish to omit the "ldap.fields_mapping" field, to test the authentication first, and then add it later to get the mappings right. | ||
| 239 | |||
| 240 | Here are some LDAP clients for checking your configuration: | ||
| 241 | |||
| 242 | Extensions: | ||
| 243 | |||
| 244 | * [[LDAP query snippet>>http://snippets.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/LDAP+Query]] | ||
| 245 | |||
| 246 | Java based and Open Source: | ||
| 247 | |||
| 248 | * [[Apache Directory Studio>>http://directory.apache.org/studio/]] | ||
| 249 | * [[JXplorer>>http://jxplorer.org/]] | ||
| 250 | |||
| 251 | Windows only: | ||
| 252 | |||
| 253 | * [[Softerra LDAP Browser>>http://www.ldapbrowser.com/info_softerra-ldap-browser.htm]] | ||
| 254 | |||
| 255 | == Detailed use cases == | ||
| 256 | |||
| 257 | See the [[LDAP configuration uses cases>>LDAPAuthenticationUseCases]] for some detailed use cases. | ||
| 258 | |||
| 259 | == Enable LDAP debug log == | ||
| 260 | |||
| 261 | See [[AdminGuide.Logging]]. | ||
| 262 | |||
| 263 | The specific packages to track for LDAP are ##com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.ldap## and ##com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP##. | ||
| 264 | |||
| 265 | Starting with XWiki 4.2 we added a new [[Logging UI>>extensions:Extension.Logging Application]] from the Administration section, which allows logging to be enabled at runtime, directly from the UI, without the need to restart the wiki. | ||
| 266 | |||
| 267 | In XWiki 3.4 you need to add the following in ##WEB-INF/classes/logback.xml##: | ||
| 268 | |||
| 269 | {{code}} | ||
| 270 | <!-- LDAP debugging --> | ||
| 271 | <logger name="com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.ldap" level="trace"/> | ||
| 272 | <logger name="com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP" level="trace"/> | ||
| 273 | {{/code}} | ||
| 274 | |||
| 275 | Before 3.1, add the following to the log4j configuration file: | ||
| 276 | |||
| 277 | {{code}} | ||
| 278 | log4j.logger.com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.ldap=trace | ||
| 279 | log4j.logger.com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP=trace | ||
| 280 | {{/code}} | ||
| 281 | |||
| 282 | = Custom Authentication = | ||
| 283 | |||
| 284 | This allows plugging to any existing authentication mechanism such as SiteMinder, etc. To configure a custom authentication do the following: | ||
| 285 | |||
| 286 | 1. Implement the {{scm path="xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-oldcore/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/user/api/XWikiAuthService.java"}}XWikiAuthService{{/scm}} interface. | ||
| 287 | 1. Edit the //WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg// file and add a //xwiki.authentication.authclass// property pointing to your class. For example: | ||
| 288 | |||
| 289 | {{code language="properties"}} | ||
| 290 | xwiki.authentication.authclass = com.acme.MyCustomAuthenticationService | ||
| 291 | {{/code}} | ||
| 292 | |||
| 293 | You can find various authenticators examples in [[sandbox>>https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/sandbox/tree/master/authenticators]] or [[extensions>>http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome#|t=extensions&p=1&l=30&s=doc.creationDate&d=desc&name=authenticator]]. | ||
| 294 | |||
| 295 | Here's a [[tutorial on implementing a custom authentication class for authenticating against Oracle's SSO>>http://bodez.wordpress.com/2008/10/15/xwiki-user-authentication-with-oracle-sso/]]. | ||
| 296 | |||
| 297 | Note, that you can also implement own right management service by implementing the {{scm path="xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-oldcore/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/user/api/XWikiRightService.java"}}XWikiRightService{{/scm}} interface: | ||
| 298 | |||
| 299 | {{code language="properties"}} | ||
| 300 | xwiki.authentication.rightsclass = com.acme.MyCustomRightsService | ||
| 301 | {{/code}} | ||
| 302 | |||
| 303 | and Group Service by implementing {{scm path="xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-oldcore/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/user/api/XWikiGroupService.java"}}XWikiGroupService{{/scm}}: | ||
| 304 | |||
| 305 | {{code language="properties"}} | ||
| 306 | xwiki.authentication.groupclass = com.acme.MyCustomGroupService | ||
| 307 | {{/code}} | ||
| 308 | |||
| 309 | == Custom Authentication using a Groovy script in a wiki page == | ||
| 310 | |||
| 311 | Start by specifying you want to use the Groovy Authenticator: | ||
| 312 | |||
| 313 | {{code language="properties"}} | ||
| 314 | xwiki.authentication.authclass = com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.GroovyAuthServiceImpl | ||
| 315 | {{/code}} | ||
| 316 | |||
| 317 | Then add another configuration parameter to specify in which wiki page the authenticator is: | ||
| 318 | |||
| 319 | {{code language="properties"}} | ||
| 320 | xwiki.authentication.groovy.pagename = MySpace.MyPage | ||
| 321 | {{/code}} | ||
| 322 | |||
| 323 | Then put some Groovy code in a wiki page that returns a XWikiAuthService object. | ||
| 324 | |||
| 325 | = Authentication parameters = | ||
| 326 | |||
| 327 | You can set each of these parameters by setting: | ||
| 328 | |||
| 329 | {{code}} | ||
| 330 | xwiki.authentication.~~param_name~~=~~param_value~~ | ||
| 331 | {{/code}} | ||
| 332 | |||
| 333 | |=Name|=Optional|=Allowed values|=Default value|=Description | ||

| 344 | |loginpage|Yes|String|/bin/login/ XWiki/XWikiLogin|Page to redirect to when not logged in | ||
| 345 | |loginsubmitpage|Yes|String|/loginsubmit/ XWiki/XWikiLogin|The URL where the username and password are posted to when logging in. | ||
| 346 | |logoutpage|Yes|String|/bin/logout/ XWiki/XWikiLogout|Page to redirect to after logged out | ||

| 353 | 1. Only required if protection = validation or all (default) | ||
| 354 | |||
| 355 | = Kerberos SSO Authentication = | ||
| 356 | |||
| 357 | {{warning}} | ||
| 358 | This implementation of SSO is currently under review see: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2496 . The class which is described in this segment of documentation, AppServerTrustedKerberosAuthServiceImpl, is not part of the default XWiki distribution! | ||
| 359 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 360 | |||
| 361 | The following is an example of **mod_auth_kerb** for Apache being used to easily implement XWiki authentication of users via HTTP Negotiate on a linux server. This example assumes you already have a working Apache2 HTTPD and Apache Tomcat setup with mod_jk. | ||
| 362 | |||
| 363 | First of all you need to create a principal and keytab for the webserver: | ||
| 364 | |||
| 365 | {{code}} | ||
| 366 | # kadmin | ||
| 367 | kadmin> addprinc -randkey HTTP/wiki.example.com | ||
| 368 | kadmin> ktadd -k /etc/apache2/ssl/wiki.keytab HTTP/wiki.example.com | ||
| 369 | kadmin> quit | ||
| 370 | {{/code}} | ||
| 371 | |||
| 372 | Make sure the keytab has the right permissions and ownership: | ||
| 373 | |||
| 374 | {{code}} | ||
| 375 | chown www-data:www-data /etc/apache2/ssl/wiki.keytab | ||
| 376 | chmod 400 /etc/apache2/ssl/wiki.keytab | ||
| 377 | {{/code}} | ||
| 378 | |||
| 379 | Install **mod_auth_kerb** in your linux installation. On Debian or Ubuntu this would be achieved by running: | ||
| 380 | |||
| 381 | {{code}} | ||
| 382 | aptitude install libapache2-mod-auth-kerb | ||
| 383 | {{/code}} | ||
| 384 | |||
| 385 | Of course the installation procedure varies per Linux distribution. | ||
| 386 | |||
| 387 | If your xwiki installation is mounted in Apache HTTPD under /xwiki, add the following to the virtual host configuration: | ||
| 388 | |||
| 389 | {{code}} | ||
| 390 | <Location /xwiki/> | ||
| 391 | AuthType Kerberos | ||
| 392 | AuthName "Kerberos Login" | ||
| 393 | KrbAuthRealms EXAMPLE.COM | ||
| 394 | Krb5Keytab "/etc/apache2/ssl/wiki.keytab" | ||
| 395 | KrbMethodK5Passwd off | ||
| 396 | KrbMethodNegotiate on | ||
| 397 | KrbSaveCredentials on | ||
| 398 | require valid-user | ||
| 399 | </Location> | ||
| 400 | {{/code}} | ||
| 401 | |||
| 402 | Make sure Apache Tomcat uses the authentication performed by Apache HTTPD with the "tomcatAuthentication" property in the connector description (which is in the **server.xml** file of Apache Tomcat): | ||
| 403 | |||
| 404 | {{code}} | ||
| 405 | <Connector port="8009" address="127.0.0.1" enableLookups="false" tomcatAuthentication="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3" /> | ||
| 406 | {{/code}} | ||
| 407 | |||
| 408 | Place the **authkerb.jar** jar in the ##WEB-INF/lib## directory of XWiki in Apache Tomcat. | ||
| 409 | |||
| 410 | Have Xwiki use the authentication module by changing the "xwiki.authentication.authclass" property in the ##WEB-INF/lib/xwiki.cfg## file. | ||
| 411 | |||
| 412 | {{code}} | ||
| 413 | xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.AppServerTrustedKerberosAuthServiceImpl | ||
| 414 | {{/code}} | ||
| 415 | |||
| 416 | If you use Firefox, do not forget to whitelist the xwiki URL for HTTP Negotiate in about:config with the "network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris" property. Possible values for this property include: //https:~/~/// for all secured connections or **example.com** for all example.com subdomains. | ||
| 417 | |||
| 418 | When I used JBoss SPNEGO (Kerberos in combination with LDAP) I changed the code of the **XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl** to be able to detect the sso user. The authenication already happend by using the SPNEGO module (JAAS). After that I'm using the ldap synchronisation feature to make sure that the user is up to date. The combination leads to an automatic login in XWiki and the user rights are controlled in the Active Directory server. I hope you can adopt this code or that you can use it for your own projects. | ||
| 419 | |||
| 420 | The configuration of ldap: | ||
| 421 | |||
| 422 | {{code}} | ||
