Cannot get integration with AD to work

[henkiem]

Hi there
I'm trying to integrate Alfresco Community 4.2.c with Active Directory on Windows Server Essentials 2012.
I've tried google, this forum posts and every debug I could think of.

I use an Ubuntu 64bit server:
Linux iits-ecm 3.5.0-27-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 25 19:58:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here is the content of /tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties

authentication.chain=alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm,ldap1:ldap-ad

ldap.authentication.java.naming.provider.url=ldap://iits-ad:389
ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=%[email protected]
ldap.authentication.java.naming.security.authentication=simple
ldap.authentication.defaultAdministratorUserNames=alfresco
ldap.authentication.allowGuestLogin=false
ldap.synchronization.active=true
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal=alfresco
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.credentials=password
ldap.synchronization.groupSearchBase=dc=IITS,dc=local
ldap.synchronization.userSearchBase=dc=IITS,dc=local
ldap.synchronization.userIdAttributeName=sAMAccountName
ldap.synchronization.userFirstNameAttributeName=givenName
ldap.synchronization.userLastNameAttributeName=sn
ldap.synchronization.userEmailAttributeName=description

I did create an user on AD called alfresco with the password. I could login as this user.
Any help/direction on how to debug will help extremely.

Here's the error I get during startup:

OK, I have found out from this lnk that my error is invalid credentials:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/LDAP+Error+Code+49

I switched on debugging on alfresco.log, but can't see the credentials used. What credentials are used?
How can I make sure it uses the correct values?

[henkiem]

OK, solved the issue. I changed the config file like this:

ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal=alfresco@IITS.local

The user name did not have the @IITS.local. The following two links helped going through yet again:
