I'm trying to configure Alfresco 3.3 with a combination of Basic Authentication and LDAP.I intend to create user accounts within Alfresco and then authenticate against LDAP. The username will always exist in the LDAP directory. I am not performing a sync against an ldap server, all user creation should be handled within alfresco. I have LDAP authentication working, but I get the following error and exception when I attempt to create a user:Failed to create Person due to error: 03140010 Unable to create authentication as there is no suitable authentication service.
org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.AuthenticationException: 03140010 Unable to create authentication as there is no suitable authentication service.

If I disable LDAP I am able to create users in Alfresco without issue. If I re-enable LDAP, I am able to authenticate the users I created while the subsystem was disabled. They just don't seem to play nice when they are both enabled.Config excerpt:
authentication.chain=alfrescoNtml1:alfrescoNtml, ldap1:ldap
alfresco.authentication.allowGuestLogin=false
alfresco.authentication.authenticateCIFS=true
ntlm.authentication.sso.enabled=false
ntlm.authentication.mapUnknownUserToGuest=false
ldap.authentication.active=true
ldap.synchronization.active=false
Please let me know If I need to provide any other information.Thanks in advance,-Chris
… I'm having the same issue… have you figured out why we get the error message: Unable to create authentication as there is no suitable authentication service ?
