Hi

With NTLM authentication you just get the users it defines. If you wnat those in alfresco too you will have to set up chaining. However, chaning authentication does not support CIFS.

I suggest you give one of your NTLM users admin rights.

I think that he means you should specify one or more of your AD users as an admin in the following part of custom-authority-services-context.xml:

<property name="adminUsers">
<set>
<value>911251</value> <!– add an NTLM user as an Administrator –>
<value>admin</value>
<value>administrator</value>
</set>
</property>

In fact,
the AD user that is declared in 'custom-authority-services-context.xml' sees all users' folders under CIFS, while the other AD users only see their own folders.

Thank you Andy for your clarification.
