<!–
The query to select objects that represent the users to import.
For Open LDAP, using a basic schema, the following is probably what you want:
(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)
For Active Directory:
(objectclass=user)
–>
<property name="personQuery">
<value>(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)</value>

<!–
The seach base restricts the LDAP query to a sub section of tree on the LDAP server.

<property name="searchBase">
<value>dc=my-domain,dc=com</value>
</property>
<!–
The unique identifier for the user.
THIS MUST MATCH WHAT THE USER TYPES IN AT THE LOGIN PROMPT
For simple LDAP authentication this is likely to be "cn" or, less friendly, "distinguishedName"
In OpenLDAP, using other authentication mechanisms "uid", but this depends on how you map
from the id in the LDAP authentication request to search for the inetOrgPerson against which
to authenticate.
In Active Directory this is most likely to be "sAMAccountName"
This property is mandatory and must appear on all users found by the query defined above.

This property defines a mapping between attributes held on LDAP user objects and
the properties of user objects held in the repository. The key is the QName of an attribute in
the repository, the value is the attribute name from the user/inetOrgPerson/.. object in the
LDAP repository.

<!– Extract group information from LDAP and transform this to XML –>
<bean id="ldapGroupExportSource" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.ldap.LDAPGroupExportSource">
<!–
The query to select objects that represent the groups to import.
For Open LDAP, using a basic schema, the following is probably what you want:
(objectclass=groupOfNames)
For Active Directory:
(objectclass=group)
–>
<property name="groupQuery">

<!–
The unique identifier for the user. This must match the userIdAttributeName on the ldapPeopleExportSource bean above.
–>
<property name="userIdAttributeName">
<value>uid</value>
</property>
<!–
An attribute that is a unique identifier for each group found.
This is also the name of the group with the current group implementation.
This is mandatory for any groups found.
OpenLDAP: "cn" as it is mandatory on groupOfNames
Active Directory: "cn"
–>
<property name="groupIdAttributeName">
<value>cn</value>
</property>
<!–
The objectClass attribute for group members.
For each member of a group, the distinguished name is given.
The object is looked up by its DN. If the object is of this class it is treated as a group.
–>
<property name="groupType">
<value>groupOfNames</value>

<!–
The objectClass attribute for person members.
For each member of a group, the distinguished name is given.
The object is looked up by its DN. If the object is of this class it is treated as a person.

The repeating attribute on group objects (found by query or as sub groups)
used to define membership of the group. This is assumed to hold distinguished names of
other groups or users/people; the above types are used to determine this.

Hi
Alfresco does not support changing any user details in LDAP. You have some other mechanism for that.
In a chaining config, it should be possible for a user in Alfresco to over-ride one in LDAP. This is a bug. Please raise it on Jira.
