LDAP and internal groups

[nowrap]

Hello,
i want to use groups provided via LDAP (already working).

Now i need to setup some groups within alfresco, which aren't needed in LDAP.
Is this possbile to achieve and how?

Yes, just use the administration console to create your Alfresco Groups. You can even add some of the LDAP groups to your Alfresco groups if that makes sense in your scenario. For example, you could add certain LDAP groups to ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS to make all their users administrators in Alfresco.

If i create groups within alfresco, they vanish after some time.

All the stuff I said above applied to Alfresco v3.2, where users and groups are 'zoned' according to the directory they came from. See

See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/The_Synchronization_Subsystem

In previous versions, I'm afraid it's not possible, as the sync system will wipe out all your groups every time it syncs.

In v3.0, the best you could do is to set

ldap.synchronisation.import.group.clearAllChildren=false

in ldap-synchronisation.properties.

Ok, we are running a 3.0. So upgrading maybe a solution.
