Syncing Active Directory users and groups

esanamr — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 11:05:37 GMT

I have downloaded the war and I've installed in my tomcat, W2K.I've followed these steps: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Enterprise_Security_and_Authentication_ConfigurationI want to sync my Active Directory users, not MD-5 support.When I change my scheduled-jobs-context.xml to this:<bean id="sche

Hi

You no longer need to change the schedulerFactory bean.

The triggers now register with an injected sceduler, if provided.
Look at the trigger bean definitions and comment in the scheduler.

You can define as many import stacks and triggers as you like to import from as many LDAP servers as you like. You can also use chaining authentication to try authenticating against many LDAP servers - or the same LDAP server but with users in different places. The example just uses one LDAP server for simplicity.

Andy

Thank you Gary, but still not Syncing and there aren't error in the log.

I have set the original scheduled-jobs-context.xml.

In the ldap-authentication-context.xml I have changed the triggers:


<bean id="ldapPeopleTrigger" class="org.alfresco.util.CronTriggerBean">
        <property name="jobDetail">
            <bean id="ldapPeopleJobDetail" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.JobDetailBean">
                <property name="jobClass">
                    <value>org.alfresco.repo.importer.ImporterJob</value>
                </property>
                <property name="jobDataAsMap">
                    <map>
                        <entry key="bean">
                            <ref bean="ldapPeopleImport" />
                        </entry>
                    </map>
                </property>
            </bean>
        </property>

    <property name="cronExpression"> 
        <value>0 15 15 * * ?</value> <!– daily at 15:15 –> 
    </property> 
 </bean>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The cron would be at 15:15 but no users are imported and the log only shows:

15:13:59,034 DEBUG [org.alfresco.smb.protocol.mailslot] HostAnnouncer: Announced host ACI0070_A
15:16:39,032 DEBUG [org.alfresco.smb.protocol.mailslot] HostAnnouncer: Announced host ACI0070_A

In the log4j.properties I have the: log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.ldap=debug

I can't login as Active Directory user and in the table alf_authority there aren't new rows.

Thanks in advance

You need to uncomment this to launch Syncing

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

Another thing, Import dont work but AD authentification is working ?

Re: Syncing Active Directory users and groups

esanamr — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 15:27:25 GMT

I have probe to uncomment it too and nothing.

No, AD authentification doesn't work either.

I've installed Softerra Ldap Browser and it seems that the configuration is right.

Hi

For LDAP simple authentication you must use the DN for the user.

Thank you Andy.

The import users was solved. I had a fool error, copy the ldap-authentication-context.xml in the alfresco folder instead of the extension folder.

I have seen the table and the import was successful, but now I can't login.

The DC is right as I see in Softerra. I use an administrator user:

<entry key="java.naming.security.principal">
<value>CN=apus00,OU=Interno Restringido,OU=Restricciones,DC=grpgines,DC=intra</value>

I've been imported to the table and I try to login with my user which is the administrator in authority-services-context.xml but nothing. I try with other users of the AD but nothing.

This is the log:

<value>samaccountname=%s</</value> 
‍‍‍

Will not work with simple authentication.

You need to set everything up to use a DN or use DIGEST-MD5 …. or stick with your ldap import and add Kerberos/Jaas authentication.

esanamr — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 18:00:44 GMT

Thank you very much Andy.

Now I can login users with full name.
1) I've put the jaas-authentication-context.xml in the extension folder
2) I've created the java.login.config
3) Added the line to the java.security
login.config.url.1=file:${java.home}/lib/security/java.login.config

But in the log still shows the error:
[org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.ldap.LDAPInitialDirContextFactoryImpl] LDAP server does not fall back to anonymous bind for known principal and invalid credentials at ldap://172.16.0.50:389
18:43:28,961 ERROR [org.alfresco.smb.protocol] CIFS server configuration error, Wrong authentication setup for alfresco authenticator

And the CIFS Server doesn't start.
My Active Directory doesn't support DIGEST-MD5.
The Active Directory supports GSS-SPNEGO and GSSAPI.

What should I do to enable CIFS Server and login with the id of the Active Directory?

Thanks in advance

Hi

See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Configuring_the_CIFS_server_for_Kerberos/Active_Directory_integration
and http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/CIFS_Server_Authentication.
