Integration with Zimbra's LDAP server

[macti]

I'm trying to integrate Alfresco authentification with Zimbra's LDAP server so that both systems have the same accounts. So I have following values in

ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=CN=%,OU=people,DC=XXXX,DC=XXXX,DC=ca
ldap.authentication.java.naming.provider.url=ldap://XXXX.XXXX.ca:389
ldap.authentication.java.naming.security.authentication=simple
ldap.authentication.java.naming.security.principal=uid=admin,ou=people,dc=XXXX,dc=XXXX,dc=ca
ldap.authentication.java.naming.security.credentials=XXXX

I didn't touch the other values in ldap-authentication.properties. Now, if I try to login, I get :

javax.faces.FacesException: Error calling action method of component with id loginForm:submit
caused by:
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: Exception while invoking expression #{LoginBean.login}
caused by:
java.util.UnknownFormatConversionException: Conversion = 'O'

I also tried to change the principal property to only :

ldap.authentication.java.naming.security.principal=admin

I get the same error.

I suppose the first line of your config should be

ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=CN=%s,OU=people,DC=XXXX,DC=XXXX,DC=ca

Guess you'll figured this out in the meantime…
