Active directory authentication

[steph]

Hello,

I've installed alfresco 1.3 and try to authenticate my users on an active directory. This works fine after many days of work and search but i can connect only with the cn (for example: Joe Bloggs) as login. I want to authenticate my users with the sAMAccountName (jbloggs). As explained here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Enterprise_Security_and_Authentication_Configuration
i tried to use the samAccountName for the userNameFormat but it does not work. Users and groups are imported into the database, but i can't login.

Do you have an idea?

I have a problem with builtin admin account when integrating with AD.

All AD accounts properlly authenticate in Domain Controller however there is also a builtin account called ADMIN in Alfresco.
This account periodically tries to authenticate in AD (why ?).

Of course authentication fails for this account (it doesn't exist in AD). There are tons of "logon failures" in Security Log of Domain Controller.
I must avoid those failures.

Could you help me solve this issue ?

Everything works for me, the only thing that is lacking is NTLM passthru doesn't work on VPN.  So if I am on the network and authenciated via AD, I am ok it takes me right in, if i am on VPN (since I haven't authenticated), it won't pass NTLM, any help?

Your thread is really fantastic about the active directory authentication. Actually I am looking online for Open Directory Ads. Actually I want to know that how Open Directory Ads can help in increasing site's traffic?
