LDAP auth against AD AND CIFS on 2.0

[busqueihm]

Does anyone have LDAP authentication working with Active Directory AND CIFS working?

I have the LDAP portion working fine. I searched all over the forum for configuration docs but can't find a good source. Most of the info points to 1.4 and the rest refers to the wiki, but no link. I checked the wiki and the info there is dated as well and refers to sample files that don't exist in my install. I just downloaded 2.0 yesterday. So very weird. Anyone have solid document ation for setting this up?

Many thanks. Kevin

I am also wondering who, if anyone, has Alfresco 2.0 CIFS and LDAP working. As with the topic creator the LDAP authentication works fine in SIMPLE mode (not syncing ldap yet) but the CIFS server refuses to even start. I found a few posts relating to authentication methods in file-servers-custom.xml and/or file-servers.xml here…

I however am not trying to use NTLM, just plain old LDAP for web and cifs usage.

If anyone can shed light on this it would be MUCH appreciated.

Yep,

The documentation for 2.0 and NTLM seems to be a bit sub standard..

Make sure you set "alfresco" authenticator in filesystem-context.xml:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Filesystem Security">
  <authenticator type="alfresco">
  </authenticator>
</config>‍‍‍‍

Hi

For LDAP you need to configure "Filesystem Security" for passthru, for NTLM you need to configure this for "alfresco".

See the wiki for the passthru options.

The compatible combinations of authentication, CIFS, SSO etc are now on the wiki.
