homeFolderProvider when using LDAP

[asyd]

Hi,

I want to use LDAP authentication in alfresco 2.1. While the authentication itself is working good, howerver, I can't have homeFolderProvider working like what I want. Indeed, when a new user log in to alfresco, its Home Space is "Company Home/login" while I want "Company Home/User Homes/login".

I tried to play with the following code in <extensionRoot>/classes/alfresco/extensions/ldap-authentication-context.xml :

                <!– Always use the default –>
                <entry key="cm:homeFolderProvider">
                        <null/>
                </entry>
            </map>
        </property>

        <!– Set a default home folder provider –>
        <!– Defaults only apply for values above –>
        <property name="attributeDefaults">
            <map>
                <entry key="cm:homeFolderProvider">
                    <value>userHomesHomeFolderProvider</value>
                </entry>
            </map>
        </property>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But it's not working. I even tried to create my own bean, using following configuration:

        <property name="path">
           <value>/${spaces.company_home.childname}/${spaces.user_homes.childname}</value>
        </property>
‍‍‍‍‍

or

        <property name="path">
           <value>/Company Home/User Homes</value>
        </property>
‍‍‍‍‍

Any help/ideas are welcome

For Alfresco 2.1.0 Community, I believe you should also override the homeFolderManagerBean by adding it to your alfresco/extension/ldap-authentication-context.xml

    <bean name="homeFolderManager" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.person.HomeFolderManager">
        <property name="nodeService">
            <ref bean="nodeService" />
        </property>
        <property name="policyComponent">
            <ref bean="policyComponent" />
        </property>
        <property name="defaultProvider">
            <ref bean="userHomesHomeFolderProvider" />
        </property>
    </bean>

Note: "User Homes" is now the default with Alfresco 2.1.0 Enterprise and higher.
