Loads of errors with new external authentication subsystem

I'm trying to set up Alfresco with CAS, using the new authentication subsystem "external", as described in the wiki. However, when I set the authentication chain toauthentication.chain=external1:external‍I end up with a lot of exceptions on server startup. First this:11:03:46,117 INFO [org.alfresco

I temporarily solved this by commenting out the following part in external-authentication-context.xml:

      <property name="sysAdminParams">
         <ref bean="sysAdminParams" />
      </property>
‍‍‍‍

However, since I have no idea why the property was there in the first place and how this will affect functionality, this obviously doesn't feel like a very good solution.

Where can I find external-authentication-context.xml file?
I've installed 3.2. community edition. There is nothing similar…

Hi gronfelt,
I have error before your, it's not finding localAuthenticationService:

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named '
localAuthenticationService' is defined
        at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory.
getBeanDefinition(DefaultListableBeanFactory.java:360)

edBeanDefinition(AbstractBeanFactory.java:914)
        at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.getBean
(AbstractBeanFactory.java:241)…‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

when I attempt a login.
Have you any idea about? I was thinking it doesn't see my authentication subsystem…
If have any suggestion I'd be happy to hear!
Greetings

I think this is solved with Alfresco 3.2R2.

Even with 3.2R version.
Thanks

You say

Even with 3.2R version.

But did you try 3.2R2? The external subsystem has been fixed in that version.
