topic Issue with LDAP group/member synchronisation... in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/issue-with-ldap-group-member-synchronisation/m-p/209491#M162621 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi folks,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>currently i am setting up Alfresco (Stable 3c) to synchronize users and groups with our LDAP server. Like most things in life, this almost works perfectly, except one issue regarding group membership:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Our LDAP directory (for the curious, it is OpenLDAP managed by Zimbra + Samba extensions) holds groups as </SPAN><EM>objectClass=posixGroup</EM><SPAN>, with members held in the </SPAN><EM>memberUid </EM><SPAN>attribute. However, members are stored as kinda short names, not DNs as Alfresco expects: e.g. i have </SPAN><STRONG>memberUid=donald</STRONG><SPAN> when Alfresco wants </SPAN><STRONG>memberUid=uid=donald,ou=people,dc=abcona,dc=int</STRONG><SPAN>.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Alas, the short names seem what Samba expects to find in the directory, so i wonder what would be the most straightforward way to fix this? One obvious idea would be to enhance class LDAPGroupExportSource to do an indirect lookup using a pattern, say an additional attribute "groupMemberResolvePattern" with value "memberUid=uid=%s,ou=people,dc=abcona,dc=int" for my example above.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Maybe this issue has already addressed by someone, your comments welcome&nbsp;&nbsp; <img id="smileyvery-happy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyvery-happy" src="https://connect.hyland.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-very-happy.png" alt="Smiley Very Happy" title="Smiley Very Happy" /> </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Cheers</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Gyro</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 08 Apr 2009 09:29:47 GMT gyro_gearless 2009-04-08T09:29:47Z Issue with LDAP group/member synchronisation... https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/issue-with-ldap-group-member-synchronisation/m-p/209491#M162621 Hi folks,currently i am setting up Alfresco (Stable 3c) to synchronize users and groups with our LDAP server.
