Hi Jan,

I think did the exact same thing (NTLM authentication on Windows ARW, and synchronous user synchronization on another LDAP at login event) recently.

Hi,
did you use Share interface or only Alfresco Explorer. I'm asking because I don't understand how the whole authentication stuff between Share & Repo is done.
- user opens Share
- NTMLAuthenticationFilter is triggered and checks given NTLM credentials (some more detailed steps here)
- if ntlm-details are valid then repo-webscript /touch is called, this inits session in repo
right?

JayJay: jub, it would be nice to take a look into your code, perhaps it will be more clear to me what to do when looking into your customization. my mail: jan.pfitzner(at)westernacher.com

many thanks,
jan

Hi, I don't use Share, but my customization is in NTLMAuthenticationComponentImpl.
This should work.

I'll send you what I have
