active directory integration with alfresco problem.

[xxprowler]

hi,

i'm installing alfresco 3.4.d on centos5, and i want it to use AD authentication.

after installing the bin file i've used this link http://www.anotherstrangerme.com/alfresco-integration-with-active-directory/comment-page-2/#comment-... to add all the configuration needed.
the only step i've skipped is the step which you need to open a war file and change something in it and then rezip it.

when strating the app, im getting this error in catalina.out:

You shouldn't be unzipping and re-zipping the war file at all.   In fact do not touch it.

What's important is what you have put in your alfresco-global.properties.   It looks like you have simply specified some values that do not work on your environment.

hi,

I've followed the guide that I've posted here, in the guide it seems that i would have opened a war file.
can you direct me to an official guide for active directory.
i do not know what I've did wrong as I'm new to alfresco.

thanks for the help.
