Hi there,I'm working on a Alfresco CAS LDAP installation. Most things are up and running but I have still some questions. My idea is to have one single CAS Server for SSO for Liferay and multiple Alfresco servers for different customers. The CAS server (with ApacheDS) is configured to search the who

I have found a workaround for a similar issue;

Import desired LDAP users and change authentication-services-context.xml at line 280:
(change default "createMissingPeople" value from ${server.transaction.allow-writes} -> false )

<bean id="personService" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.person.PersonServiceImpl" init-method="init">
…
…
        <!– Some authentication mechanisms may need to create people –>
        <!– in the repository on demand. This enables that feature. –>
        <!– If dsiabled an error will be generated for missing       –>
        <!– people. If enabled then a person will be created and     –>
        <!– persisted.                                               –>
        <!– Valid values are                                         –>
        <!–     ${server.transaction.allow-writes}                   –>
        <!–     false                                                –>
        <property name="createMissingPeople">
           <value> false </value>
        </property>
…
…
</bean>

This way prevents Alfresco from creating any new user.
