import user data from LDAP

FOLLOW UP:

We are using "simple" authentication (not DIGEST-MD5), do we need to use DIGEST-MD5 for First/Last/Email to be mapped/imported? Or should this still work using simple? Thanks!!

I was having a similar problem.
I was calling the fields incorrectly (our active directory setup was a tad different) so in all reality, none of my users were being pulled up.
However, under AD, the cn is their Actual name, so when it was pulling the groups, it was also grabbing the users under that group by their actual name. They were getting loaded in this way, totally backwards.
While I doubt this is your problem, we can definitely help diagnose if you post a screen capture or output file of the user view given by an ldap browser. I recommend Softerra's.

I found the solution. You must comment in :

        <property name="scheduler">
            <ref bean="schedulerFactory" />
        </property>
‍‍‍‍

to start the import (5 minutes after the connection to the repository)

Hi

What is reported for debug on org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.ldap?

Check what you can see via the Softerra ldap browser. It is possible you do not have permissions to see stuff on the server.
