Alfresco Community 201704 | LDAP and Apache Directory Studio | alfresco-global.properties

fmatias — Tue, 23 May 2017 18:14:07 GMT

Hi guys,I'm facing some difficulties to configure the Alfresco Community 201704 with LDAP using the Apache Directory Studio. I read in some foruns a lot of different ways configure these two solutions, one for 201704 version and others for older versions of Alfresco.I was in the topic alfresco - Lda

You can use the ldap browser/client apache directory studio to test your person and group queries.

In your properties, these are commented out - I suppose this is just by mistake.

To force a full sync on startup you could try to set your differential queries to the same value as the full queries (just for a test, reset it to the original value for normal use).

Is there any error in the alfresco.log or Catalina.out?

Hi Martin,
These comments I put in my second try, in the first try they weren't there. But the result still is the same (see down below). I'm analysing the logs here. But anyway, I was wondering if the path that I installed both applications is not the reason of the problem. I didn't use the "C:\Program Files (x86)", but another directory like "F:\Alfresco\". In this case, possibly, I must do some changes in catalina.proporties or another file, right?

Thank you once more!

Fabio

Hi Fabio,

Installing in F:\Alfresco is fine - better then using c:\Program.... because alfresco put its data directory (alf_data) under the install-root in the default Installation.

If not already done: You should check your alfresco and tomcat logs for errors and the messages of the ldap-sync. Under Linux they are called alfresco.log (sometimes in the install root) and Catalina.out (install root/tomcat/logs) - don't know the filenames under Windows.

Did you use the alfresco installer?

Yes, Martin!

Now it worked. I restarted the server, and I commented only the line down below:

#ldap.synchronization.groupQuery=(objectclass=groupOfNames)
#ldap.synchronization.groupDifferentialQuery=(&(objectclass=groupOfNames)(!(modifyTimestamp<\={0})))

The other one is without comments, see:

ldap.synchronization.personQuery=(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)
ldap.synchronization.personDifferentialQuery=(&(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)(!(modifyTimestamp<\={0})))

Thank for your support!
