[jira] Commented: (JSPWIKI-517) provide an LDAPUserDatabase (part of core JSPWiki)

["Christian Helmbold (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-517?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12769649#action_12769649 ] 

Christian Helmbold commented on JSPWIKI-517:
--------------------------------------------

Better than support specific auth systems would be to support a general auth service like the Central Authentication System (CAS). It does not only hide concrete auth services but also supports single-sing-on with tickets. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-604

> Currently there are only two choices of UserDatabase implementations in core JSPWiki: XMLUserDatabase and JDBCUserDatabase.
> There seem to be a bunch of JSPWiki users out there using LDAP as the User Registry, in most cases a container managed implementation, which has some limitations.
> This issue asks for an LDAPUserDatabase that extends AbstractUserDatabase and should better integrate with JSPWiki.
> For instance, we should be able to not only read the LDAP, but also write to the LDAP.
> Like JDBCUserDatabase, LDAPUserDatabase is better suitable for larger scale implementations where running multiple wiki's using the same LDAP user registry.
> Please add any other requirements here too !
