import users from Active Directory

[tomw]

LDAP import from active directory works, but now i have another problem.
I can only login with the 'display' name from the user in active directory.
And the 'display name' is not always the same as the login name in active directory.
Example my login name is tomw, my display name is Tom Wuyts.

In that case i can login with Tom Wuyts and the password from active directory but Tom Wuyts is not a member of a group only tomw is a member.

Is i possible to configure alfresco so he uses the login names of active directory instead of the display name.

Hi

You can use LDAP sync with NTLM and JAAS/Kerberos authentication against AD (you do not have to do an LDAP bind if your AD server does not have reversable encryption for MD5 - there are other ways to do the same thing).

We will add user lookup for simple bind at some point.
