Hi

I think you have 2 options:

1) Make someone from LDAP and admin user (you can make any name to be admin by editing adminUsers property in authority-services-context.xml. Or you may want to use override.)

2) Creating chained authentication - it will first look in Alfresco user database first. Look at chaining-authentication-context.xml.sample in extension folder.

I am using NTLM and I chose a user imported via LDAP as the admin in the authority-services-context.xml. When I login as that user, I dont get the admin interface. Do you know if this works with NTLM setup?
