Documentation Bug setting up ldap-ad

[armino]

Good morning,

context: (community)4.2.b/windows 2008R2

following the procedure outlined here:
http://docs.alfresco.com/4.1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Ftasks%2Fauth-example-l...

does synchronize with the AD, but does not authenticate against it.
Moving the very same config lines from  …\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\subsystems\…\ldap-ad-authentication.properties into alfresco-global.properties does the trick.

Best regards,
Armin

Hi Sasquatch,

thanks for your reply.

I had resolved the issue already and only wanted to inform about the erratic documentation. 

Best wishes,
Armin
