Got Alfresco working on Centos 5.5 and MySQL fine. I would like for Alfresco to read the AD database when trying to create user accounts to save time manually typing users details in every time we need to add a new user. I'm sure i've seen this somewhere in a video or presentation somewhere. I dont want the user accounts to authenticate with AD just pass the information over and then create a record in the Alfresco MySQL table. This gets round CAL licensing for users outside of the organisation. Any ideas on what to change to make this work? Read the wiki but a bit new to Alfresco at the moment. Soon to get to grips with it soon 
Are you trying to have AD do the authentication?
It's relatively simple … look into the authentication chain of passthru
assthru1,ldap-ad:ldap1
There's alot of info out there, and it works seamlessly for the authentication aspect. What I'm trying to accomplish is the synchronization, and that is proving to be a headache … but basic authentication works fine.
if you need further info, let me know.
Cheers,
