In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.

3. Active Directory Integration
Overview
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (or LDAP) is a method of accessing an Active Directory (AD) over an IP
network. It's commonly used to authenticate users on a corporate network when they login to their
computer/workstation.
MIDAS (v4.06 or later) offers seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) support through LDAP integration with your Active
Directory. This allows users to be automatically logged on whenever they open MIDAS.
The basic process is as follows…
Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 Stage 5
User opens their
browser and
navigates to
MIDAS
The browser sends
the logged in user's
username to
MIDAS
MIDAS queries your
AD to retrieve the
user's real name,
email address and
Primary Group
User is added (or update) in
MIDAS using permissions from
the User Group having a
corresponding name as the
user's Primary Group in the AD
User is
seamlessly
logged into
MIDAS
Pre-Requisites
In order to be able to use the LDAP integration offered by MIDAS, the following pre-requisites must first be met:
MIDAS
Your must be running MIDAS v4.06 (or later) on your own server (self-hosted), and your MIDAS must be licenced for
"Unlimited" users.
Tip: If you need to upgrade your self-hosted MIDAS licence to "Unlimited" users you can do so at
https://mid.as/upgrade
IMPORTANT: If your MIDAS is "remotely hosted" by us and/or your MIDAS isn't licensed for "Unlimited" users,
Active Directory integration is not available
Server
It is assumed that you already have an Active Directory setup and running within your infrastructure. Setting up of an
Active Directory itself is beyond the scope of this documentation.
It is also assumed that you're running either an Apache or an IIS web server.
Apache
The module "mod_auth_sspi.so" is required on the server where your MIDAS resides. See Configuring Apache
IIS
Windows authentication needs to be enabled on the server where your MIDAS resides. See Configuring IIS
http://mid.as/ldap P a g e | 2
4. Active Directory Integration
Perl
The Perl module Net::LDAP is required on the server where your MIDAS resides. This module provides LDAP support
to Perl (the language MIDAS is written in) and may be freely obtained via CPAN.
Tip: If you're using ActiveState Perl, this module may be installed via the Perl Package Manager, where it is
listed as "perl-ldap"
End Users
End users must be logged on to their computer/workstation through your Active Directory. If they logged onto their
device "locally", they may not be able to seamlessly authenticate against your Active Directory when using MIDAS,
and may instead be prompted for their system credentials.
User's browsers must also be capable of determining the username of the logged in user. See Configuring Browsers
Configuration
Configuring Apache
In order for Apache to authenticate against an Active Directory server, the module "mod_auth_sspi.so" must be
present and enabled.
Once installed, this module can be enabled by adding the following line to your server's httpd.conf file:
LoadModule sspi_auth_module modules/mod_auth_sspi.so
Next, you will need to configure the directory on your server where your MIDAS resides to authenticate against your
Active Directory. Again, this is done by adding the following to your httpd.conf file:
<Location "/midas/">
AuthName "Intranet"
AuthType SSPI
SSPIDomain xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
SSPIAuth on
SSPIOfferSSPI on
SSPIAuthoritative on
SSPIUsernameCase lower
SSPIPerRequestAuth on
SSPIOmitDomain on
require valid-user
</Location>
Where "/midas/" is the location where MIDAS resides on your server, relative to the root (usually "public_html").
And xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address or domain name of your Active Directory server. In the above example, MIDAS
resides under /public_html/midas/, and therefore the location to use is "/midas/"
Tip: You will need to restart Apache for changes you make to your httpd.conf file to take affect

5. Active Directory Integration
Configuring IIS
In order for IIS to authenticate against an Active Directory, you must disable anonymous access and enable
Integrated Windows authentication for the server (or specific directory) where your MIDAS resides.
Configuring IIS 6.0
1. Open Administrative Tools → Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
2. Right-click on the site/directory where your MIDAS resides and select "Properties".
3. Switch to the "Directory Security" tab, and click the Authentication and access control "Edit" button:
4. Untick "Enable anonymous access" and tick "Integrated Windows authentication":
5. Click "OK" then "OK" again to return to the IIS manager.
http://mid.as/ldap P a g e | 4
6. Active Directory Integration
Configuring IIS 7.x
The default installation of IIS 7.x does not include the Windows authentication role service. To use this
authentication on IIS 7.x, you must install the role service, disable Anonymous authentication for the server or
directory where your MIDAS resides, and finally enable Windows authentication for the directory/site.
1. Open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
2. Navigate to the site/directory where your MIDAS resides, and click "Authentication":
3. Right-Click the "Anonymous Authentication" entry and select "Disable":
4. Right-Click the "Windows Authentication" entry and select "Enable":
http://mid.as/ldap P a g e | 5
7. Active Directory Integration
If the "Windows Authentication" option isn't present, you will first need to install the Windows authentication role
services.
On Windows Vista/7, this can be done via Control Panel → Programs and Features → Turn Windows features on or
off → Internet Information Services → World Wide Web Services → Security → Windows Authentication:
http://mid.as/ldap P a g e | 6
8. Active Directory Integration
On Windows Server 2008/2008 R2, this can be done via Administrative Tools → Server Manager → Roles → Web
Server (IIS) → Role Services → Add Role Services → Security → Windows Authentication:
For more information on enabling Windows Authentication under IIS, please refer to:
http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/security/authentication/windowsauthentication
http://mid.as/ldap P a g e | 7
9. Active Directory Integration
Configuring Web Browsers
By default web browsers do not supply a user's system credentials to a web server. In order to use MIDAS with
Active Directory integration, a modification to your users' browser security settings is required in order to confirm
that it is safe to exchange their currently logged in credentials with MIDAS upon request.
The settings outlined in this section will need to be applied to all user PC's/workstations within your domain. In the
case of Internet Explorer, this modification could be pushed out via Group Policy.
Note: At time of writing, Opera and Safari browsers do not natively support seamless integration
If you do not apply these settings to user's PC, users will not be seamlessly logged into MIDAS. Instead, they
may be prompted to enter their AD username and password logon each time they access MIDAS
Configuring Microsoft Internet Explorer
In order for Internet Explorer to supply credentials to a site, the site (domain where your MIDAS resides) must be
added to IE's "Local Intranet" sites. (Internet Options → Security → Local Intranet → Sites)
http://mid.as/ldap P a g e | 8
10. Active Directory Integration
Configuring Mozilla Firefox
To configure Firefox, you will need to add the domain where your MIDAS resides as a "trusted" site for automatic
authentication.
To do this, open Firefox and enter "about:config" in the address bar. Then locate the "network.automatic-
ntlm-auth.trusted-uris" setting and add your MIDAS URL to this setting's current value:
Depending upon your network environment, you may also need to add your MIDAS domain/url to the
network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris setting as well
Configuring Google Chrome
Chrome inherits it's from Internet Explorer's Local Intranet Zone. Therefore, please follow the steps outlined in
Configuring Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Alternatively, a list of authorized servers may be passed in to Chrome using a comma-separated list of URLs via the
"auth-server-whitelist" command-line switch. For example, starting Chrome with the command-line switch:
--auth-server-whitelist="*yourdomain.com"
…will "white list" "yourdomain.com", allowing for seamless AD integration without prompting the user for additional
credentials.

11. Active Directory Integration
Configuring MIDAS
LDAP Integration is configured via MIDAS Admin Options → Manage Users & Permissions → Single Sign On (SSO).
Setting Description
Enable LDAP Authentication Enables/Disables LDAP Authentication of users.
Host The IP/domain of your Active Directory server. This is the server against which users
are authenticated within your infrastructure
Bind To The Distinguished Name binding MIDAS should use to query your Active Directory.
Example: CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=mydomain,DC=local
Bind Password The password required by your AD server to bind to the above
Base The base at which user information may be found in your Active Directory
Example: DC=mydomain,DC=local
Update User Permissions
upon each login
If selected, the user's MIDAS permissions will be updated with the latest permissions
assigned to their "group" each time they access MIDAS. See Managing Permissions
If no matching User Group
exists, block access
If the user's Primary Group in the AD does not correspond to a matching user group
name in MIDAS, this setting determines what should happen.
If selected, SSO access to MIDAS will be denied and the user will see the standard
login screen.
If unselected, the user will be logged in with a very restrictive set of user
permissions (essentially "view only")
Debug With debugging enabled, failed and successful LDAP authentications will be logged
to a "/debug-ldap.dat" file in your MIDAS directory.
Warning: It is recommended to only enable Debug logging whilst
troubleshooting integration with your AD. Once up and running, it's strongly
advised to disable this logging, otherwise the log file can become very large!
Clicking the "Save Changes" button will apply your settings.
http://mid.as/ldap P a g e | 10
12. Active Directory Integration
Clicking the "Test" button will perform a basic connection test to your Active Directory server using the details
you've entered, and will display the results:
In addition, when you perform an LDAP Connection Test, MIDAS will attempt to retrieve a list of User Groups from
your Active Directory, and add these names to the User Group list in MIDAS.
http://mid.as/ldap P a g e | 11
13. Active Directory Integration
Managing Permissions
The user permissions assigned to each MIDAS user who authenticates against your Active Directory are derived from
the name of Primary Group the user is a member of within your Active Directory, and the permissions associated
with the corresponding MIDAS User Group with the same name.
To set a user's Primary Group in your Active Directory:
In the above example, the user's Primary Group in the Active Directory is "Staff".
This user's MIDAS permissions will therefore be derived from the permissions you've specified for a User Group
within MIDAS with the same name (i.e. "Staff") (You can setup MIDAS user groups via MIDAS Admin Options →
Manage Users & Permissions → Groups)
If the "Update User Permissions upon each login" option is enabled (MIDAS Admin Options → Manage Users &
Permissions → Single Sign On (SSO)) then each time the user opens MIDAS, their MIDAS user permissions will be
updated to reflect the current permissions associated with their User Group.
If the "Update User Permissions upon each login" option is not selected, the user's MIDAS permissions will be set
based upon the group permissions at the time of their first access of MIDAS via Active Directory authentication.
http://mid.as/ldap P a g e | 12
14. Active Directory Integration
Once set, these permissions will not be automatically updated again (i.e. subsequent changes to the user group's
permissions within MIDAS will not be applied to existing users who have previously authenticated with MIDAS via
Active Directory integration).
Leaving this option unselected can be useful if you wish to "tweak" specific individual user's permissions.
Please refer to the main MIDAS documentation for details of the available User Permissions
Troubleshooting
If you encounter an issue configuring MIDAS to authenticate against your Active Directory, a good place to start is
the "Test" button on the MIDAS Admin Options → Manage Users & Permissions → Single Sign-On (SSO). This button
will test whether MIDAS is able to connect to and query the Active Directory using the settings you've specified.
If this test fails, these settings are the first thing to check.
You can also enable debug logging by selecting the "Debug" option and clicking "Save Changes". With debugging
enabled, failed and successful LDAP authentications will be logged to a "/debug-ldap.dat" file in your MIDAS
directory.
Warning: It is recommended to only enable Debug logging whilst troubleshooting integration with your AD.
Once up and running, it's strongly advised to disable this logging, otherwise the log file can become very large!
Common issues, their causes and resolutions are outlined in the table below…
http://mid.as/ldap P a g e | 13
15. Active Directory Integration
Symptom Possible Cause(s) Resolution
After configuring and
enabling LDAP
integration, when I
access MIDAS, I still see
a login screen
If MIDAS is unable to successfully connect to
and query your Active Directory, it will fall
back to the standard login screen.
Go to MIDAS Admin Options → Manage
Users & Permissions → Single Sign-On
(SSO) and check your Active Directory
settings are correct using the "Test"
button
If there is no email address in your Active
Directory for your username, the user will see
the standard MIDAS login screen.
If you've enabled debug logging, this
cause will be indicated in the debug log.
An email address should be entered in
your Active Directory for each user who
will be accessing MIDAS.
If there is no User Group in MIDAS with a
name matching the name of the user's
Primary Group setting in your Active
Directory, and the "If no matching User Group
exists, block access" option in MIDAS is
selected, the user will see the standard MIDAS
login screen.
If you've enabled debug logging, this
cause will be indicated in the debug log.
1. Ensure that a User Group has been
created in MIDAS (MIDAS Admin
Options → Manage Users &
Permissions → Groups) with the
same name as the user's Primary
Group from your Active Directory.
or…
2. Untick the "If no matching User
Group exists, block access" option
(MIDAS Admin Options → Manage
Users & Permissions → Single Sign-
On (SSO)). The user will then be able
to access MIDAS using a very limited
set of "view only" permissions.
If a user's MIDAS user account has been
"suspended" in MIDAS, they will be returned
to the login screen rather than seamlessly
logged in.
If you've enabled debug logging, this
cause will be indicated in the debug log.
Go to MIDAS Admin Options → Manage
Users & Permissions → Users and check
that the user account in question hasn't
been suspended.
A dialog prompting for
credentials is shown
when accessing MIDAS
Your browser has not been configured to
present the username of the currently logged
in user to the server where your MIDAS
resides.

16. Active Directory Integration
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is LDAP integration only available for "self hosted" editions of MIDAS?
In order for a web server to support LDAP integration, the server has to be specifically configured to do so. With our
"remotely hosted" edition of MIDAS, we do not permit or provide you with access to change/reconfigure the web
server in order to support your LDAP server.
Why must my MIDAS be licensed for "Unlimited" users in order to use LDAP integration?
If your MIDAS is licensed to a finite number of users, then LDAP integration would potentially exclude some of your
Active Directory users from accessing access MIDAS - defeating the point of the seamless "single sign-on" ability
offered by LDAP integration. For example, if your MIDAS is only licensed for 10 users, then whichever 10 users from
your Active Directory login to MIDAS first, they would then be the only 10 users who could continue to access MIDAS
in the future - all others would be rejected.
Therefore, to avoid this, we have restricted LDAP integration to self-hosted customers with an "Unlimited" user
MIDAS license.
Generally speaking, organizations that utilize an Active Directory tend to have dozens, if not hundreds, of users so
would likely have or require an "Unlimited" user license for MIDAS anyhow.
Does MIDAS "write" anything back to or update my Active Directory?
No. MIDAS only reads data from your Active Directory. It won't write anything back or make any changes to your
Active Directory.
I can't change user's Primary Groups in my Active Directory, yet I need to assign different users different
permissions!
By default, MIDAS will assign permissions based upon each user's Primary Group which corresponds to a user group
in MIDAS with the same name. If you are unable to change a user Primary Group in your Active Directory to allow
them to inherit different permissions within MIDAS, there is a solution!
1. Export a list of users from your AD (including full names and email addresses)
2. Open this exported data in a spreadsheet and add an additional "User Group" column
3. Populate this new user group column with the names of existing User Groups you've previously defined in
MIDAS
4. Save your modified spreadsheet as a .CSV file
5. Import this file (MIDAS Admin Options ? Manage MIDAS → Database → Database Tools → Import Data),
ensuring you assign the correct fields to the correct columns
This will setup user accounts in MIDAS for all your current AD users, and assign each account the permissions from
the relevant existing MIDAS User Group.
Finally, untick the "Update User Permissions upon each authentication" option (MIDAS Admin Options → Manage
Users & Permissions → Single Sign-On) Then once you've setup & enabled LDAP authentication, users will be able to
seamlessly authenticate and will have the appropriate user permissions.
