Your properties file is hard to read 🙂 and some of the ldap configuration seems to be cut off at the end

ahhh better

ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=

would be default for LDAP ( Ian Wright )

And you should set your ldap.synchronization.userIdAttributeName (not visible on your tree screenshot)

I usally also define the queries in global properties, for example like:

ldap.synchronization.groupQuery=(objectClass=group)

ldap.synchronisation.personQuery=(objectClass=user)

or on posix:

ldap.synchronisation.personQuery=(objectclass=posixAccount)

ldap.synchronisation.groupQuery=(objectclass=posixGroup)

and the differential queries. But you need know how your classes are named.

I had a similar issue and I followed this site to get my ldap authentication working.

I would prefer to discuss it in the community, so we'd have more content and problem solutions here.

In that post there is a section where it points you to github and I had to download the files from there and then move them to the correct location and edit them. I hope that helps.

As Jeff Potts‌ mentioned in Stack Overflow it seems that it is the ldap.authentication.userNameFormat.

If you still have problems with authentication put the next line in:

$ALF_HOME/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-log4j.properties (and reboot alfresco service)

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.ldap=debug

for getting more information. If you have the OOTB Support Tools installed you can do it even restarting the service.

By the way, as you are in Windows, be sure that Alfresco is able to reach 10389 port in localhost for the ldap server (no firewalls).

Regards.
