Hi

Try this solution.

A solution of SSO plus LDAP for Liferay Portal 4.3 and Alfresco Portlet 2.0.1.

1. First please download an example Liferay Portal 4.3, Alfresco Portlet 2.0.1, LDAP (ADS) and SSO CAS.

CIGNEX_Liferay_43-Alfresco_201-SSO-LDAP.zip

Download from (save link as …)

http://liferay.cignex.com

unzip it in your local machine.

download portal-mysql-43.sql at http://liferay.cignex.com/portal-mysql-43.sql

2. Then create database (this is cofigurable) MySQL

for Liferay Portal 4.3
create database liferay43dev;
grant all on liferay43dev.* to 'liferay43dev'@'localhost' identified by 'liferay43dev' with grant option;
grant all on liferay43dev.* to 'liferay43dev'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by 'liferay43dev' with grant option;

input data
mysql -u liferay43dev -pliferay43dev liferay43dev < portal-mysql-43.sql

for Alfresco Portlet
create database alfresco201plet;
grant all on alfresco201plet.* to 'alfresco201plet'@'localhost' identified by 'alfresco201plet' with grant option;
grant all on alfresco201plet.* to 'alfresco201plet'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by 'alfresco201plet' with grant option;

3. Start your AS from unzipped file
tomcat/bin/startup.bat or sh startup.sh

Go to http://localhost:8080/c/portal/login

press sign in

4. In CAS login page (https://docs.cignex.com/cas-web), login

possible users in LDAP server (docs.cignex.com) (configurable)
jonas/jonas
jane/jane

…

After login in CAS, you should be in Liferay Portal with your login name. No need relogin in Liferay Portal.

Add Alfresco Ext Client. You should be in Alfresco Portlet with your login name. No need relogin in Alfresco Portlet.

Get it? 

Good luck.
