Hi friend,
LDAP is a server authentication therefore must using user of LDAP for login
You can read this link for config: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Enterprise_Security_and_Authentication_Configuration#LDAP

Please check LDAP server work fine with LDAP Client!
Goodluck

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

The issue now is when i configured 2 ldaps for people in different domains, they still connect to one alfresco instance.But it should be 2 for the 2 different domains.

Say I have installed alfresco and created 2 tenants say abc.com and xyz.com. When people of abc.com will login they should not able to see xyz.com's repository.

When I configured LDAP, people of both the domains connected to only one Alfresco repository.So the multi tenancy part of Alfresco is not working, when LDAP is configured.

Can anyone help me out pls??

Thanks in advance.

Regards
PP

Hi Vinaxwater,

I have only 1 Alfresco server[ alfresco.domain.com ]. 2 tenants means 2 repository [ alfresco.company1.com , alfresco.company2.com ] , 2 ldap files one for each domain i.e. company1.com and company2.com
I used the LDAP chain configuration,
For which in alfresco-global.properties I added
authentication.chain=ldap1:ldap,ldap2:ldap
[ You may check the chaining here :
