I also tried another configurations:

1. add <null/> section into ldap-auth-context.xml


…
                <entry key="cm:organizationId">
                    <!– OpenLDAP: "o" –>
                    <!– Active Directory: "???" –>
                    <value>company</value>
                </entry

                <!– Always use the default –>
                <entry key="cm:homeFolderProvider">
                    <null/>
                </entry>
                <entry key="cm:organizationId">
                    <!– OpenLDAP: "o" –>
                    <!– Active Directory: "???" –>
                    <value>company</value>
                </entry>

                <!– Always use the default –>
                <entry key="cm:homeFolderProvider">
                    <null/>
                </entry>      
            </map>
        </property>
   
   <!– LSV ADDED –>
   <property name="attributeDefaults">
       <map>
      <entry key="cm:homeFolderProvider">
          <value>companyHomeFolderProvider</value>
      </entry>
       </map>
    </property>    
    </bean>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

2. modification of cmerson in contentModel.xml:


<type name="cm:person">
         <title>Person</title>
         <parent>sys:base</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="cm:userName">
               <type>d:text</type>
               <mandatory>true</mandatory>
            </property>
            <property name="cm:homeFolder">
               <type>d:noderef</type>
               <mandatory>true</mandatory>          
            </property>
             <property name="cm:firstName">
               <type>d:text</type>
               <mandatory>true</mandatory>
            </property>
            <property name="cm:lastName">
               <type>d:text</type>
               <mandatory>true</mandatory>
            </property>
            <property name="cm:middleName">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
            <property name="cm:email">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
            <property name="cm:organizationId">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
            <property name="cm:homeFolderProvider">
               <type>d:text</type>
          <default>companyHomeFolderProvider</default>
            </property>
            <property name="cm:defaultHomeFolderPath">
               <type>d:text</type>
          <default>/app:company_home</default>
            </property>
         </properties>
      </type>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Both without success. I think there must be a bug…

Hi

Which version of the repository are you using?

Have you made any changes to the homeFolderManager bean or the providers in authentication-services-context.xml?

Regards

I use Alfresco 1.4.0 (build-105) schema 21.

>> Have you made any changes to the homeFolderManager bean
no

>> or the providers in authentication-services-context.xml?
yes, i have custom authenticationComponentImpl bean that simply override authenticate() method.

Here is a code that replace default authenticationComponentImpl bean.


<bean id="authenticationComponentImpl" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.beez.BeezAuthenticationComponent">
        <property name="allowGuestLogin">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
    </bean>

Ok, I found that issue doesn't appear in Alfresco 2.0 with the same configuration.
But I found another strange things - there is something wrong with lucene indexes after import of users and groups from ldap. When I try assign any role on the folder to imported user/group, then following exception is thrown:

I found that if i perform following steps:
- stop the server
- set index.recovery.mode=FULL
- delete alf_data/lucene-indexes/*

then everything runs OK. Is there any way how to automatically rebuild indexes after each ldap import without stopping the server? Thanks
