This sounds like a bug in Alfresco as I would expect/hope that a disabled user would not be able to log in - however I can't say for certain. I would suggest raising an issue in JIRA to report this problem as it is likely to be something that needs to be investigated.

@shyam2016 _

As you said, you configured Alfresco to authenticate externally, and you are saying that you disabled the user in Alfresco.

I guess the problem is that for the external authentication, the user is active.

Can you try to disable the user there instead of Alfresco?

If that does the trick, I guess you should also enable the synchronization, and with that, you will have the user also disabled in Alfresco when the synchronization runs.

Thank you Douglas, But we don't want to disable user the in external system

, because if we disable user in the external system user will not be able

to login in another applications also. because that is a central system.

In that case, I think you should be using the local authentication first.
