Hi!
We’ve struggled with it for a few days so I will just left it here, perhaps someone will find it useful. So we have migrated from Confluence to XWiki using extension https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Confluence/XML/ . We have also setup LDAP for authentication and in the end weird things started to happen.
Due to the fact that in our LDAP users CN attr is having format name.surname
and migration from Confluence have created users exactly in this format, we have had each user duplicated in users list, because apparently XWiki does not allow user name with dot inside. After several hours we have found this answer https://forum.xwiki.org/t/username-with-dot/624/6 which told us that XWiki operates on users without a dot
in users name. So we thought it is some LDAP extension issue, but in the end it turned out that all the mess have been created due to the migration. Then we were not sure which users should we use and from where these duplicates come from (name.surname
and namesurname
). So we set up another instance of XWiki without the migration and things started to be clear.
Probably very rare/edge use case, but perhaps someone will strugle with something similar in the future so I will just left it here.
