Chaining and LDAP-Authentication

meyfisch — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 17:34:21 GMT

Hi,I have a problem concerning the chaining mechanism and LDAP-Authentication. I am using the Alfresco 2.0 Comunity Editon. The aim is to chain alfresco and ldap user-authentication.First of all here is my ldap-configuration which works for plain ldap-authentication (ldap-authentication-context.xml)

See JIRA issue AR-1338 for the fix I applied to get chaining authentication working in Alfresco 2.0. I also notice that my ldapAuthenticationDao bean (authenticationDaoLDAP in your code) looks different from yours. I have:

    <bean name="ldapAuthenticationDao" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.DefaultMutableAuthenticationDao">
        <property name="allowDeleteUser">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
    </bean>‍‍‍‍‍

This is the original bean definition from ldap-authentication-context.xml.sample (except for renaming). Yours looks like a hang-over from the original JAAS sample.

Thank you for your help.

Changing the bean-id authenticationServiceImpl to authenticationService in the chaining-authentication-context.xml solved the problem.

Now I am able to use both local and LDAP authentication.

What is the difference between DefaultMutableAuthenticationDao and NullMutableAuthenticationDao?

I can't get my Alfresco recognize LDAP Users…HELP PLEASE!
