Wiki source code of User Authentication

Version 93.1 by Thomas Mortagne on 2017/03/24

1 XWiki supports several different authentication mechanisms for authenticating users:

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 {{warning}}
50 Since 7.4 it's recommended to use the new [[LDAP Authenticator extension>>extensions:Extension.LDAP.Authenticator]] instead of the core one.
51
52 The following documentation is for the core LDAP authenticator which has been removed in 8.3.
53 {{/warning}}
54
55 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.
56
57 == Generic LDAP configuration ==
58
59 In order to enable the LDAP support you have to change the authentication method in //WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg// as follows:
60
61 {{code language="properties"}}
62 #-# LDAP authentication service
63 # xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl
64
65 #-# Turn LDAP authentication on - otherwise only XWiki authentication
66 #-# - 0: disable
67 #-# - 1: enable
68 #-# The default is 0
69 # xwiki.authentication.ldap=1
70 {{/code}}
71
72 You can setup the LDAP configuration in the **xwiki.cfg** file by filling the following properties:
73
74 {{code language="properties"}}
75 #-# Turn LDAP authentication on - otherwise only XWiki authentication
76 #-# - 0: disable
77 #-# - 1: enable

234 {{info}}
235 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##.
236 {{/info}}
237
238 == LDAP clients ==
239
240 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.
241
242 Here are some LDAP clients for checking your configuration:
243
244 Extensions:
245
246 * [[LDAP query snippet>>http://snippets.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/LDAP+Query]]
247
248 Java based and Open Source:
249
250 * [[Apache Directory Studio>>http://directory.apache.org/studio/]]
251 * [[JXplorer>>http://jxplorer.org/]]
252
253 Windows only:
254
255 * [[Softerra LDAP Browser>>http://www.ldapbrowser.com/info_softerra-ldap-browser.htm]]
256
257 == Detailed use cases ==
258
259 See the [[LDAP configuration uses cases>>LDAPAuthenticationUseCases]] for some detailed use cases.
260
261 == Enable LDAP debug log ==
262
263 See [[AdminGuide.Logging]].
264
265 The specific packages to track for LDAP are ##com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.ldap## and ##com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP##.
266
267 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.
268
269 In XWiki 3.4 you need to add the following in ##WEB-INF/classes/logback.xml##:
270
271 {{code}}
272 <!-- LDAP debugging -->
273 <logger name="com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.ldap" level="trace"/>
274 <logger name="com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP" level="trace"/>
275 {{/code}}
276
277 Before 3.1, add the following to the log4j configuration file:
278
279 {{code}}
280 log4j.logger.com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.ldap=trace
281 log4j.logger.com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP=trace
282 {{/code}}
283
284 = Custom Authentication =
285
286 This allows plugging to any existing authentication mechanism such as SiteMinder, etc. To configure a custom authentication do the following:
287
288 1. Implement the {{scm path="xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-oldcore/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/user/api/XWikiAuthService.java"}}XWikiAuthService{{/scm}} interface.
289 1. Edit the //WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg// file and add a //xwiki.authentication.authclass// property pointing to your class. For example:
290
291 {{code language="properties"}}
292 xwiki.authentication.authclass = com.acme.MyCustomAuthenticationService
293 {{/code}}
294
295 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]].
296
297 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/]].
298
299 Note that it's also possible to customize the right management system, see [[extensions:Extension.Security Module]] for more details.
300
301 == Custom Authentication using a Groovy script in a wiki page ==
302
303 Start by specifying you want to use the Groovy Authenticator:
304
305 {{code language="properties"}}
306 xwiki.authentication.authclass = com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.GroovyAuthServiceImpl
307 {{/code}}
308
309 Then add another configuration parameter to specify in which wiki page the authenticator is:
310
311 {{code language="properties"}}
312 xwiki.authentication.groovy.pagename = MySpace.MyPage
313 {{/code}}
314
315 Then put some Groovy code in a wiki page that returns a XWikiAuthService object.
316
317 = Authentication parameters =
318
319 You can set each of these parameters by setting:
320
321 {{code}}
322 xwiki.authentication.<param_name>=<param_value>
323 {{/code}}
324
325 |=Name|=Optional|=Allowed values|=Default value|=Description
326 |encryptionKey|No(1)|?|n/a|Set the Encryption Key used to create a secret key, the secret key is passed to the Cipher object to be used during encryption and decryption of cookie values.
327 |validationKey|No(2)|?|n/a|Set the Validation Key used to generate hash value; the hash value is stored with the cookie and used to verify that the cookie has not been tampered with.
328 |cookiedomains|Yes|String|Server host name|Which host(s) should your cookies be sent to; use only if you want to share cookies across domains, otherwise should be commented out
329 |cookielife|Yes|Number|14|Number of days cookies take to expire
330 |cookiepath|Yes|String|/|The webapp path that XWiki cookies should be sent to; if you have anything else running on your web server, this should be set to ///xwiki//
331 |default_page|Yes|String|/bin/view/ Main/WebHome|Page to redirect to if xredirect parameter is not set
332 |encryptionalgorithm|Yes|?|?|Set the Encryption Algorithm used to encrypt and decrypt cookies
333 |encryptionmode|Yes|?|?|Set the Encryption Mode used to encrypt and decrypt cookies
334 |encryptionpadding|Yes|?|?|Set the Encryption Padding used to encrypt and decrypt cookies
335 |errorpage|Yes|String|/bin/loginerror/ XWiki/XWikiLogin|Page to redirect to if there is an error logging in
336 |loginpage|Yes|String|/bin/login/ XWiki/XWikiLogin|Page to redirect to when not logged in
337 |loginsubmitpage|Yes|String|/loginsubmit/ XWiki/XWikiLogin|The URL where the username and password are posted to when logging in.
338 |logoutpage|Yes|String|/bin/logout/ XWiki/XWikiLogout|Page to redirect to after logged out
339 |realmname|Yes|String|XWiki|Sets the realm name
340 |protection|Yes|all, validation, encryption, none|all|Protection level for the "remember me" cookie functionality
341 |unauthorized_code|Yes|Number|401|The HTTP status code to return when the login has failed.
342 |useip|Yes|true / false|true|Specify to use the IP address when encrypting the cookie data; if IP address changes will need to re-login.
343
344 1. Only required if protection = encryption or all (default)
345 1. Only required if protection = validation or all (default)
346
347 = Kerberos SSO Authentication =
348
349 {{warning}}
350 This implementation of SSO is currently under review see: https://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!
351 {{/warning}}
352
353 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.
354
355 First of all you need to create a principal and keytab for the webserver:
356
357 {{code}}
358 # kadmin
359 kadmin> addprinc -randkey HTTP/wiki.example.com
360 kadmin> ktadd -k /etc/apache2/ssl/wiki.keytab HTTP/wiki.example.com
361 kadmin> quit
362 {{/code}}
363
364 Make sure the keytab has the right permissions and ownership:
365
366 {{code}}
367 chown www-data:www-data /etc/apache2/ssl/wiki.keytab
368 chmod 400 /etc/apache2/ssl/wiki.keytab
369 {{/code}}
370
371 Install **mod_auth_kerb** in your linux installation. On Debian or Ubuntu this would be achieved by running:
372
373 {{code}}
374 aptitude install libapache2-mod-auth-kerb
375 {{/code}}
376
377 Of course the installation procedure varies per Linux distribution.
378
379 If your xwiki installation is mounted in Apache HTTPD under /xwiki, add the following to the virtual host configuration:
380
381 {{code}}
382 <Location /xwiki/>
383 AuthType Kerberos
384 AuthName "Kerberos Login"
385 KrbAuthRealms EXAMPLE.COM
386 Krb5Keytab "/etc/apache2/ssl/wiki.keytab"
387 KrbMethodK5Passwd off
388 KrbMethodNegotiate on
389 KrbSaveCredentials on
390 require valid-user
391 </Location>
392 {{/code}}
393
394 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):
395
396 {{code}}
397 <Connector port="8009" address="127.0.0.1" enableLookups="false" tomcatAuthentication="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3" />
398 {{/code}}
399
400 Place the **authkerb.jar** jar in the ##WEB-INF/lib## directory of XWiki in Apache Tomcat.
401
402 Have Xwiki use the authentication module by changing the "xwiki.authentication.authclass" property in the ##WEB-INF/lib/xwiki.cfg## file.
403
404 {{code}}
405 xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.AppServerTrustedKerberosAuthServiceImpl
406 {{/code}}
407
408 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.
409
410 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.
411
412 The configuration of ldap:
413
414 {{code}}
415 xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.wiki.sso.SSOLdapAuthenicationImpl
416 xwiki.authentication.ldap=1
417 xwiki.authentication.ldap.server=<ad-server>
