add Alfresco USers in LDAP

[esprit]

Hello,

I've done the ldap configuration in Alfresco and I can now create a user that will be added in ldap alfresco when I authenticate with it.
Now I want to reverse that is when I add a user in Alfresco it is automatically added to LDAP.
I do not know if this configuration is possible?
configuration file is as follows:

# This flag enables use of this LDAP subsystem for authentication. It may be
# that this subsytem should only be used for synchronization, in which case
# this flag should be set to false.
ldap.authentication.active=true
#
# This properties file brings together the common options for LDAP authentication rather than editing the bean definitions
#
ldap.authentication.allowGuestLogin=true
# How to map the user id entered by the user to that passed through to LDAP
# - simple 
#    - this must be a DN and would be something like
#      uid=%s,ou=People,dc=company,dc=com
# - digest
#    - usually pass through what is entered
#      %s
# If not set, an LDAP query involving ldap.synchronization.personQuery and ldap.synchronization.userIdAttributeName will 
# be performed to resolve the DN dynamically. This allows directories to be structured and doesn't require the user ID to
# appear in the DN.

# Escape commas entered by the user when setting the authenticated user

I'm interested in your suggestions.
thank you

Hello,

this configuration is not possible with a standard Alfresco installation. You would need to implement a custom component that pushes people out to LDAP and prepares the internal objects for the next synch.

Hi,

excuse me but I did not understand,
Can you explain a little more, or an example that can help me please,

[afaust]

Hello,

This is not possible via configuration:

when I add a user in Alfresco it is automatically added to LDAP.

I don't have an example handy for pushing people out to LDAP as this is something that is barely ever done - it is an administrators nightmare to allow applications to manipulate the LDAP data structure(s).

Axel
