Multiple OU Ldap Authentication

samudaya — Mon, 30 May 2011 05:59:20 GMT

Hi friends,I'm currently using Alfresco Community 3.4.d on Ubuntu 10.04 server. And run Open-LDAP (v3) on separate server. I only want to do LDAP authentication (no synchronizations).(/opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/ldap/ldap1/ldap-authentication.prop

Try leaving the userNameFormat blank, it will do a search using the personQuery. Read more http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Authentication_Subsystems#Configuration_2

The way I got my multiple context working was to duplicate
this directory structure

ldap1/ldap-authentication.properties‍

ldap2/ldap-authentication.properties‍

And configure the second context in this file

The alfresco-global.properties setting should also be updated to include both files

authentication.chain=ldap1:ldap,ldap2:ldap‍

Not more than the docs I linked to. If you read it(!), under the entry for ldap.authentication.userNameFormat it is all explained. Have you tried it and it didn't work?

Thanks all for your contribution to solve the issue. Finally I solve the problem with chaining mechanism.

Thanks
