That's it, the LDAP authenticator is used as authenticator and you have what is described on http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/LDAP/Application/ when you do to the administration -> LDAP.

Great! Thanks. Did so. Now I get a whole lot of copies of the 1st message below: " The provided user is null. We don't try to authenticate, it probably means the user is in non logged mode." But I did provide a user, in this line: xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN=cn=sa-douglasl,ou=SystemsEngineering,dc=westmarine,dc=net ...and I see that that line has been seen: 2017-03-15 12:42:30,422 [http://dwswiki9.westmarine.net:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] DEBUG o.x.c.l.XWikiLDAPConnection - Binding to LDAP server with credentials login=[cn=sa-douglasl,ou=SystemsEngineering,dc=westmarine,dc=net] 2017-03-15 12:42:30,537 [http://dwswiki9.westmarine.net:8080/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin] DEBUG x.c.l.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl - Local LDAP authentication failed.
