Problems with Authentication step by step

js-alfi — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 17:48:03 GMT

Hello,I tried to follow the community edition wiki regarding step by step config of authentication. I want to have a passtrhu to a Windows Domain like in Example 1: Advanced AD ChainBut I'm to stupid :roll: to know where and how JMX (only included in the enterprise version) puts" alfrescoNtlm1 ntlm

Note the JMX functionality isn't yet released and will be in the Alfresco v3.2 Enterprise Edition.

Example 2 demonstrates how you can use the extension classpath mechanism to control multiple authentication subsystem instances.

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Authentication_Subsystems#Example_2:_Advanced_LDAP_Chain

This is explained further here, but note that you will need a 3.3 nightly build for it to work

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Subsystems#Properties

However, in this case it is actually not necessary, because we do not need to set the same property to different values on any of the subsystems.

We could put the following properties in alfresco-global.properties

authentication.chain=alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm,passthru1assthru,ldap1:ldap-ad
ntlm.authentication.sso.enabled=false
alfresco.authentication.authenticateCIFS=false
ldap.authentication.active=false
passthru.authentication.domain=# Intentionally left blank as we are specifying servers
passthru.authentication.servers=DOMAIN\\server,server

Many thanks for your hint.

I'm just installing the nightly build. There are some other benefits of the nightly build: pdf viewer works with larger files than in the ce 3.2!

Will the authentication chain also work for the share or only for the alfresco/faces?

Because alfresco/faces is authenticating well this way. Here I tried it with the local admin and with and ldap account.

But for share I allways get http Status 500 with admin and with the ldap account

HTTP Status 500 -
