Disable CIFS and FTP with LDAP

morleyd — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 21:44:51 GMT

I'm using LDAP for authentication and get: "org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: Wrong authentication setup for alfresco authenticator" when Alfresco starts. Additionally, we do not expect to use FTP because it is an unsecure protocol. We do plan to use WebDAV connections from Windows Explor

As far as disabling, you can alter the settings in $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/file-servers.xml

I'd like to turn off CIFS without having to modify the war file (commenting out the cifs bean on bootstrap-context.xml or modifying file-servers.xml). Is there a way to do that?

I tried to modify the file-servers-custom.xml by setting replace=true and serverEnable enabled="false", but did not seem to help. I've included the logs as well and BTW, I use AD for authentication and that works fine.

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="CIFS Server" replace="true">
          <serverEnable enabled="false"/>
      <host name="${localname}_A"/>
      <comment>Alfresco CIFS Server</comment>

      <!– Set to the broadcast mask for the subnet –>
      <broadcast>255.255.255.255</broadcast>

      <!– Use Java socket based NetBIOS over TCP/IP and native SMB on linux –>
      <tcpipSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
      <netBIOSSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>

           <!– Can be mapped to non-privileged ports, then use firewall rules to forward

      <netBIOSSMB sessionPort="1139" namePort="1137" datagramPort="1138" platforms="linux,solaris,mac
osx"/>
          –>

      <hostAnnounce interval="5"/>

      <!– Use Win32 NetBIOS interface on Windows –>
      <Win32NetBIOS/>
      <Win32Announce interval="5"/>

   </config>

I am having the same problem. Is there a bug causing Alfresco to ignore file-servers-custom.xml in regards to disabling CIFS?
