LDAP Auth and Synch in Alfresco 3.3

Hi!.

I'm trying to get the OpenLDAP authentication and synchronization process working in Alfresco 3.3. I've seen that in the version I'm using it's only needed change the /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties file.

I don't have an admin user in the OpenLDAP, even I don't have any LDAP user password, so I only can log in as Alfresco admin and see in the all the users to check if the LDAP user are synchronized.

I changed my alfresco-global.properties but nothing seems to do. I log in as Alfresco admin, but I only can see the Alfresco internal users, no one from the LDAP.

Here is my alfresco-global.properties file

Hope you can help me, I need to finish this project yesterday!.

Thanks.

Using this configuration I see Alfresco syncing user and groups, but not the mappings between them, I mean membership are not synced
any idea, please ?
