LDAP works....sorta

I'm having issue with trying to get active directory working with alfresco. I've been able to authenticate a user to log into alfresco with their active directory credentials. However I can't seem to be able to search a list of all users using the People Finder function. This is going to be crucial

Search only searches in alfresco, not your external directories. Users will be created in alfresco as and when they log in.

And the advice that told you to hack the files below WEB-INF is wrong. Yes it works but you will cause yourself upgrade problems in future and you also won't be able to configure more than one authentication subsystem in the authentication chain.

@mrogers

Where should I be making this configuration then? Do I copy the file somewhere else or just the config part?

*edit*
(Resolution: I had the wrong UPN and it wasn't syncing correctly)
Now I have a different problem… I didn't include some OU's and search results show those. Is there a way to filter?
