Hi

I have the same issue. The invitations works smooth with the plain 4.2.d but when ldap is configured the invitation link doesn't work. The important thing to notice here is, for the site managers view, it looks as if the the member for who was invited has accepted and he is shown along with the site members list but for the actual member, the dashboard behaves as if the member is not a part of the site for which he received invitation. Looks like this issue was reported https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-19819 but they couldn't reproduce.

Hi All,

I did further research on this and identified that the problem was the duplicate home folder created when ldap syncronization happens. While syncronization, a home folder in this format is created /companyHome/userHome/username@domain.com/. And when the user logsin, another user name in this format is also created /companyHome/userHome/username/ If I delete the home folder /username@domain.com/ the invitation works fine.

Does anyone know how to control the attribute ldap.synchronization.defaultHomeFolderProvider in the ldap properties file? I want this to be same as what alfresco creates when someone logon for the first time /companyHome/userHome/username/.

Thanks,
