Pulling Additional Attributes from AD LDAP - Ver 3.2r2

acook — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 19:08:40 GMT

Hi all-So, let me first start off by saying that I am very new to Alfresco and have only been experimenting with it for about the last 2 months. In saying this, thanks to the wiki articles concerning the Alfresco Subsystems and such, I have been very successful in configuring my Alfresco installati

All-

Actually, I just checked one of my user profiles right now and it would seem that using my exact procedure (did not change a thing) above DOES seem to populate these fields in the Alfresco User Profile. The only thing I did today is add enable SSL for my connection to my Active Directory LDAP (ldaps). I don't know if that should make a difference. Maybe someone with more experience can comment? I will keep you posted.

Thanks.

UPDATE: The procedure in the original post does work. However, it will not update existing users unless any of the users attributes are changed before a next scheduled sync. Thus having a reason to sync the user… Seems obvious in retrospect. I will mark this as solved. Hopefully, this post will help those who want do pull these attributes.

hi ACook,

after configuring the dap properties file and the custom-ldap-context file-> restarted tomcat server=> how do we check whether these propeties have been successfully imported into alfresco?… do we login as admin and check under admin console-> user profiles?
Thanks in advance…

Have you run full sync after making the change? (setting ldap.synchronization.synchronizeChangesOnly=false in alfresco-global.properties)
Then you can go to user profile page and check the result. (as any user)

jgionet76 — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:32:44 GMT

does this still work with the latest community edition of Alfresco?
I'm trying to add the extra ldap-ad values to sync and I'm not having any luck.
where exactly should I be putting this "custom" file? What exactly does this file have to contain?
can somebody post me an example?

thanks

This should work with the community edition.
Have a look at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Authentication_Subsystems
This explains how a new method is set up and the addiional custom code required.
Cheers, Sasquatch

You need to make changes in the following files

* <strong>alfresco-global.properties</strong>
* Create a new file <strong>ldap-authentication.properties</strong> the path ${ALFRESCO_DIR}/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/ldap/ldap1/

Please refer the below URLs to help you.

Hello,

I am trying to set up the configuration to sync additional attributes like acook in the first post. However, the current configuration is not working on my 4.2 Community version. I'm trying to sync with Windows AD, not OpenLDAP.

First, let me say that authentification is working perfectly, This is my alfresco-global.properties file's AD configuration part



# AD integration
authentication.chain=ldap1:ldap-ad,alfinst:alfrescoNtlm
ntlm.authentication.sso.enabled=false
ldap.authentication.allowGuestLogin=false
ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=%s@XXXXXXXXXXXX

ldap.authentication.defaultAdministratorUserNames=Administrator
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal=administrator@XXXXXXXXXXXXX
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.credentials=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
ldap.synchronization.groupSearchBase=ou=XXXXXXXXX,dc=XXXXXXXX,dc=XXXXXXXXXX

ldap.synchronization.userTelephoneAttributeName=homePhone
ldap.synchronization.userCompanyAddress1AttributeName=streetAddress

ldap.synchronization.userCompanyAddress3AttributeName=st

# Sync

synchronization.allowDeletions=false
synchronization.import.cron=0 0/3 * * * ?

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I have created a folder structure like so:
/opt/alfresco-4.2.f/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/ldap-ad/



├── custom-ldap-ad-context.xml
├── custom-ldap-context.xml
├── ldap1
│   ├── custom-ldap-ad-context.xml
│   ├── custom-ldap-context.xml
│   ├── ldap-ad-authentication.properties
│   └── ldap-authentication.properties
├── ldap-ad1
│   ├── custom-ldap-ad-context.xml
│   ├── custom-ldap-context.xml
│   ├── ldap-ad-authentication.properties
│   └── ldap-authentication.properties
├── ldap-ad-authentication.properties
└── ldap-authentication.properties

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

custom-ldap-ad-context.xml

contains the same code like in first post, under the tags:


<bean id="userRegistry" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.sync.ldap.LDAPUserRegistry">
<property name="personAttributeMapping">
<map>
‍‍‍‍‍

ldap-ad-authentication.properties
has the same code as in the first post.

Should the location be in folder ldap1 or ldap-ad1 ? Should I be using custom-ldap-ad-context.xml or custom-ldap-context.xml ? Should I be using custom-ldap-ad-context.xml or custom-ldap-context.xml? How can I check this configuration is loaded?

Could anyone provide help with configuring this? I could provide more data if required.

Re: Pulling Additional Attributes from AD LDAP - Ver 3.2r2

I was able to configure this properly.

You have to follow the instructions on this link carefully:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Authentication_Subsystems#Configuration_2

What you do is follow the steps here:
Example 3: Configure Authentication subsystem in "shared" folder
but substitute ldap with ldap-ad if you have configuration like mine.

Near the end there is an error in documentation, it says:
Modify authentication.chain adding myldap:myldap (e.g.: authentication.chain=myldap:myldap,alfrescoNtlm:alfrescoNtlm)
the correct value would be authentication.chain=myldap:ldap-ad,alfinst:alfrescoNtlm

You should follow the log /alfresco.log and it will list users like this, that's a good sign:
15:43:50,152 WARN [org.alfresco.repo.security.sync.ChainingUserRegistrySynchronizer] Updating user 'test2801'. This user will in future be assumed to originate from user registry 'myldap'.

Hi all,

Im new on alfresco and I work on alfresco community v5.2

Could someone tell me where I can find the original file common-ldap-context.xml ?

On the post LDAP Synchronization of User Details , it said that the path file is :

%TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\subsystems\Authentication\common-ldap-context.xml

But I don't find it.

Thanks in advance

In my alfressco-global.properties file I have :

authentication.chain=alfinst:alfrescoNtlm,ldap1:ldap

Moreover, if I want to add additional attributes for the users, should I add the key under <property name="personAttributeMapping"> ?

Can I create a new attribute on my profile's user ?

For example, in my LDAP I have the DN's manager of a person and I'd like to add it in my users' profile on alfresco.

Is there a way to link a person from my LDAP to an other person.
It could be used for example in workflows

Thanks in advance
