FIXED: Labs 3 and LDAP and CIFS authentication AGAIN!

Hello

Just newly installed the 3.0.0 version (Stable 1526) and recognized that the ldap authentication together with CIFS authentication is already not  working! Regular Login on the web interface and webdav works fine. Does somebody know whats the current state of this CIFS auth problem? Saw a lot of posts regarding similar problem but couldn't find a proper solution yet. 
When enabling the debug mode for cifs auth I just getting this messages out (catalina.out):

00:20:03,033  DEBUG [smb.protocol.auth]   No PassthruDetails for N1
00:20:03,033  DEBUG [smb.protocol.auth]   No PassthruDetails for N2
00:20:03,033  DEBUG [smb.protocol.auth]   No PassthruDetails for N3
….

Used the attached ldap-authentication-context.xml file together with the attached file-servers.xml file. Is there something wrong with the configuration or is the old authentication issue already not fixed? I always get a timeout exception on windows or linux client which seems to me that something fails while try to authenticate against the domain controller.
Tried it with 2.1 and it worked fine!

    <!–

    You can also use JAAS authentication for Kerberos against Active Directory or NTLM if you also require single sign on from the
    web browser. You do not have to use LDAP authentication to synchronise groups and users from an LDAP store if it supports other
    authentication routes, like Active Directory.

            "cn=%s,ou=London,dc=company,dc=com" - If the user types in "Joe Bloggs" the authenticate as "cn=Joe Bloggs,ou=London,dc=company,dc=com"

Hello

At last I got it working, after long reading many documents. Found the solution on:

https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALFCOM-2165

May it possible that this informations flow into the community documentation in the wiki please?
Thanks
