admin user in NTLM/LDAP needed?

[unknown-user]

Hi all,

I've tried configuring Alfresco to use an LDAP server a few weeks ago, that did work for what I tested. Now I configured Alfresco to user NTLM and the same things work. Well, things, I only tested one thing: can I log in. Yes, I can.

Now I'm trying to go a step further and wanted to log in as an admin, but to no avail. The admin user is not in the ldap server nor in the PDC, so logging in this way will not work. I was wondering if I need to configure the admin in the ldap/pdc or can a kind of fall trough be configured so if the user is not in the ldap/pdc, the internal database can be used?

Thanks in advance,

Ronald

ops:

I am one of the people who monitors the jBPM forum and often want to shout  "read the fine manual" or use the code (I did often want to shout 'use the serch functionality on the forum, but that is the one thing I did do)

I've read the documentation a little for a different issue (authorization) and came by the authority-services-context.xml example which is not present in the alfresco config directory or the extensions directory. Where I suspected them. So I thought of creating one and overriding some other in the extensions directory, but that did not work. I then searched for *-context.xml and found the files in a completely different directory (maybe a difference between the 1.1/1.2 previous community release and the 1.2.1 which is enterprise based.

I'll try this first before getting back to you guys and take a slice of your valuable time. If it works I'll post back here

ok, in this authority-service-context.xml there already was an entry for the windows 'administrator'account. Unfortunately I do not have access to that in the default domain, so I added my own account to it. Guess what…. it works. great. Maybe adding a group for this would be a nice addition, but that is something for later on.
