LDAP import

[fogo]

I have configured Alfresco to use ldap authentication.

When a user logs in for the first time, they are created as a user in Alfresco and a space is created for them. However their details [sn givenName mail] etc are not imported. How does one go about this? Do we need to use the ldap synch support for this? Or can it be done as part of the process that initially authenticates the user and sets them up in Alfresco?

Hello


I have the same problem.
For me it seems that the trigger doesn't start :

I added the ldap debug in log4J

#ldap debug
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.ldap=debug

 ‍‍‍‍‍‍

Then here is my ldap-authentication-context.xml.
I don't use the group import yet.

I don't see anything in my stack trace about ldap import.
Just an error about Netbios but it's because I'm working on a 64 Windows OS. That why I think my trigger never starts.

I'm working with alfresco 2.1, community

[fif]

Ok I resolved my problem and the import is almost ok.
I started with a new and clean  alfresco (I don't know why it didn't start my trigger), change a bit the logger (also in the previous post) .
And from here I could see the error about the import  and specially about the trigger. Then I'll  have to change the search level in the ldap config file and it should be ok.

Fogo, what is your stack trace ???
Have you set the log level to debug in the log4J.properties to see the log about ldap ? Is the trigger started ?
