LDAP synchronization problem

Hello mates,I'm having trouble enabling LDAP sync + chaining on alfresco community 2.1.Actually made it so alfresco recognises it's own users and also LDAP ones, whose get registered in alfresco after their first login (Also had some problems making new users in alfresco but those got solved). But I

Where are you placing the files? E.g are you placing them inside the war file, or are you placing them in an external configuration location?

I had a similar (maybe the same?) issue. I placed all of the configuration files in an external configuration location. It turns out that I had multiple "authenticationComponent" beans defined - one in the ldap-authentication-context.xml file, and the other in the authentication-services-context.xml file. Sometimes the authentication-services-context file would load first, and this would cause the error since it loaded the incorrect "authenticationComponent' bean. I solved the issue by commenting out the duplicate beans in this file so that the beans in the ldap-authentication-context file were only used.

curious_george,
I'm placing my files in alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension. I've tryed what you said since I have that beans repeated too, resulting on alfresco to crash on start. Also tryed replacing my duplicate bean on authentication-services-context.xml with my ldap-authentication-context.xml, which had no apparent changes at all on alfresco. I think those beans aren't fighting each other, however that didn't get synchronization to work.

Thank you for helping anyway!

Have you tried increasing the logging levels?

FINALLY!

The main problem was this:
       <!– Commented out to disable
        <property name="scheduler">
            <ref bean="schedulerFactory" />
        </property>
        –>

I knew it was something stupid. Anyway, can that CIFS errors be removed?

dinger, what do you mean with login levels?

Thanks.

You can increase the log4j logging levels to enable you to figure out what is going on.

Have you modified file servers custom?
