The simplest solution would be to use an email address for a user id.

And do not turn on multi tenancy.

Hi, Thank you for replying.
But it concerns LDAP connection and Liferay, so I need authentication by mail in alfresco.

Regards,
Sofia.

Hi Sophia,

You will need to overwrite the AuthenticationComponent, retrieve a person node by the email and authenticate using that person node and the password provided.

Check AbstractAuthenticationComponent and all it's implementations.

In LDAP synchronization configuration, you can map LDAP mail attribute with Alfresco username property.
