AD authentication & user properties reset

rajd — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:14:35 GMT

Hello all,We’re running Alfresco CE 3.2. This installation has been configured to use our Microsoft AD as userbackend. This “kind of” works.Our problem is that the ldap synchronization resets user properties. For example, once a LDAP user is known in Alfresco, we may change the user’s home directory

Hi there Ivan,

I'm aware of the online manual. I even read it 🙂

Is there something in here I should have a look at? For as far as I understand I don't know what should be changed.

Best, Robin

Well by wiki this:
synchronization.synchronizeChangesOnly
Should the scheduled sync job run in differential mode? The default is false, which means that the scheduled sync job is run in full mode. Regardless of this setting a differential sync may still be triggered when a user is successfully authenticated who does not yet exist in Alfresco.

If the change doesn't work out as expected then it looks like a bug to me…
