Hello,

Here's the line you're searching for:


TypeMismatchException: Failed to convert property value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'boolean' for property 'active'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid boolean value [${ldap.authentication.active}]
‍‍‍

Can you please post your configuration. Especially the ldap.authentication.active part.
It seems that it's recognised as a string instead of a boolean.

I can't see an <em>ldap.authentication.active</em> value in that config file. Assuming there really isn't one, that would entirely explain the error you're seeing!

Can you try adding a line

ldap.authentication.active=true‍

to your config file and seeing if that solves it all for you?

Where are you putting the config exactly? I never got anywhere with auth/sync subsystems until I put the config in alfresco-global.properties…
