Tagged with authentication, cac, certificate, smartcard

This plugin authenticates users to dokuwiki by comparing the user's client certificate's CN attribute with the group field for a user in the dokuwiki user database.

This is a rewrite of an old plugin by Margus Pärt (mxrguspxrt). Much of the plugin structure and API changed with dokuwiki requiring a rewrite.

Installation

Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

Examples/Usage

For example, user John Doe needs access to the Wiki. John has a client certificate (or smartcard with a certificate on it) that as a CN attribute of 'DOE.JOHN.99999'. John Doe has is added to the dokuwiki user database by an administrator. His username is 'jdoe'. His groups are set to 'DOE.JOHN.99999, finance'.

When John Doe access the Wiki with his browser configured to use a client certificate (or smartcard), this plugin will authenticate user 'jdoe' by comparing the CN of his certificate with the groups he is a member of in the dokuwiki user database.
