Configuring Active Directory plugin

[Richard]

I've downloaded, built, and deployed STW from the latest source (v4?). It is mostly working with the exception of some kind of permissions problem on the "public" folder for Administration -> Themes.

But my real question is how do I configure the ActiveDirectoryProvider plugin? The site prompts for domain passwords so that portion seems to be working but I can't find any documentation that explains where the configuration is supposed to go. My "Plugins Management" page lists no plugins and I can't upload the ActiveDirectoryPlugin.dll. The "Plugins Configuration" page also lists no plugins.

How do I get the plugin registered? Did something go wrong with the build?

Thanks

Hi Richard,

Just a heads up, I found some other issues down the line with stw4, especially when it came to performance as the wiki grows. 

I ended up migrating to another wiki :(

But answering to your question about AD, try adding the following settings to your web.config.

First, you must have a provider for users. It has to come before the setting for the Active Directory provider. 

In the following example I stored the users in SQL.

Also put the plugin dll in the bin folder.

Note that you have to use a line break to separate the AD settings in config. For example, GroupMap is separated by a break from the Domain on the configuration.

I hope this helps.

Configurations for authentication on Active Directory:

<!-- Multiple UsersStorageProvider are allowed and only one of them must have the isDefault=true attribute. -->

<add name="ScrewTurn.Wiki.Plugins.SqlServer.SqlServerUsersStorageProvider" assembly="SqlServerProviders" config="Data Source=SERVERNAME;Initial Catalog=DATABASE;User ID=USERNAME;Password=PASSWORD;" isDefault="false" />

<add name="ScrewTurn.Wiki.Plugins.ActiveDirectory.ActiveDirectoryProvider" assembly="ActiveDirectoryProvider" config="GroupMap=Users:Users 

Domain=DOMAINNAME" isDefault="true" />

Thank you very much, this is exactly what I was missing!

Tati -- thanks for your response. I'm using LDAP with STW(3) here at work, and meant to revisit the installation instructions... thanks for taking care of it!
