Unable to enable Wiki/Blog for LDAP groups in WGM

[steelopus]

Similar to the issue in this existing topic: https://www.afp548.com/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=18634

10.5.5
OD Master with magic triangle to AD domain
Groups created with WGM in the LDAP node.
Web Service Wiki & Blog enabled. Site configured with FQDN.

I am unable to set the “Enable the following services for this group on:” option within WGM for any of the groups that I create. My only choice is “(None)” which leads me to believe that WGM doesn’t recognize an existing site/web service on the server.

Any thoughts?

I am experiencing the same problem. This was working, I did not change any settings, just applied a couple of updates and rebooted. No there is only None and I am not able to enable the wiki. Has anyone found a workaround for this bug? We were using the wiki and so this is obviously very frustrating.

The wiki/blog is a fragile nightmare. Do yourself a favor and setup a real wiki, like Dekiwiki or Twiki etc, and be done with it. They have LDAP plugins so you can tie them into the OD/AD.

Thanks Dave, but that doesn’t exactly help solve this problem…

Hiya, the wiki/blog stuff needs to be set up on a OD group as it can’t attribute the cirrect settings to a remote group. So, create a group for the wiki/blog in your normal OD list and drag in the ldap group as a member of that OD group. I have that working just fine with Active Directory authentication (kinda ldap).

Hope that helps!

Thanks Dave, that is how I’ve had it setup from the start: no luck.
I’ve also tried it with standard OD Groups with OD Users and it doesn’t work that way either.

oh right ok, sorry. :o) Maybe i should have read your post properly!

Well, is the site configuration set up ok? I’m just wondering if it’s worth deleting the current configuration and making a new one with a different name? I might do that to start with. I does happen to me occasionally, where it doesn’t show up the web site config name under drop down box. But then later it appears without me doing anything so i’m not sure what that is. Have you tried the usual permissions fix etc? Sorry if thats patronising, i don’t mean to be!

Have you turned on any other services for the website other than wiki/blog? Like calendar or webmail? And you’ve turned off digest authentication right?

Otherwise I’d try doing it on a test server, maybe a virtual one now thats allowed, to see if that does anything different. Do you have the spare capacity to image this server onto another box so you can really mess around with it?
