Hi,

I am working with alfresco 3.3 enterprise edition..
I referred to many wikis related to LDAP integration in alfresco, but i have still not got a clear idea..
The configuration steps given are too confusing.. :?
Can anyone please help me with a clear description of the steps to follow??
I am stuck on this issue for the past one week..as the days are passing by, it is becoming more and more confusing for me.. :cry:

Any kind of suggestions would be of great help..

Thanks in advance..!

1. Decide what type of LDAP directory you are using. If it is Active Directory you should use the ldap-ad subsystem. Otherwise you should use the ldap subsystem.

2. Put the ldap or ldap-ad subsystem in your authentication chain by adding one of these lines to alfresco-global.properties

authentication.chain=ldap1:ldap-ad # For Active Directory
authentication.chain=ldap1:ldap # For Other Directories‍‍

2. Create a file to hold your customized configuration values

For Active Directory:

mkdir -p $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/ldap-ad/ldap1
cp $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/subsystems/Authentication/ldap-ad/*.properties $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/ldap-ad/ldap1‍‍

For Other Directories:

mkdir -p $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/ldap/ldap1
cp $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/subsystems/Authentication/ldap/*.properties $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/ldap/ldap1‍‍

3. Edit $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/ldap-ad/ldap1/ldap-ad-authentication.properties or $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/ldap/ldap1/ldap-authentication.properties so that it is correct for your environment. You won't have to edit many properties, as most have been set up with sensible defaults. The properties you will most likely have to edit are

ldap.authentication.java.naming.provider.url=ldap://openldap.domain.com:389
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal=cn\=Manager,dc\=company,dc\=com
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.credentials=secret
ldap.synchronization.groupSearchBase=ou\=Groups,dc\=company,dc\=com
ldap.synchronization.userSearchBase=ou\=People,dc\=company,dc\=com‍‍‍‍‍

Read the configuration guide at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Authentication_Subsystems#Configuration_2

Hi dward,

Thanks for your quick reply dward..that was of some great help!!

I followed the steps as suggested by you..
Although i believe now it is connecting to the LDAP server..but i am getting a "Authentication failed" error in the tomcat window.
I am not able to understand the cause of the error..

My error log is as follows:

Am i missing something..i believe its something to do with the following properties that is set:

ldap.authentication.java.naming.provider.url=ldap://localhost:10389
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal=cn\=Manager,dc\=company,dc\=com
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.credentials=secret
ldap.synchronization.groupSearchBase=ou\=Groups,dc\=company,dc\=com
ldap.synchronization.userSearchBase=ou\=People,dc\=company,dc\=com‍‍‍‍‍

Any kind of suggestions would be of great help..!!
Thanx in advance..!!

You were supposed to edit the parameters so that they were suitable for your environment. You may need to use an LDAP browser, such as the one from http://www.ldapbrowser.com to work out the correct settings.

ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal

Set this to the DN of a user who can log in to the directory

ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.credentials

Set this to their password

ldap.synchronization.groupSearchBase

Set this to the root DN of all groups

ldap.synchronization.userSearchBase

Set this to the root DN of all users

Hi..
Thanks for the steps..it was of great help..very clear!! thanx yogesh for posting this thread..!!
It is working for me ….
Now i want to integrate SSO with ALfresco and LDAP. I am using alfresco 3.3,cas-server-webapp-3.4.2,apache directory studio on windows machine.
The requirement is that

If in login to web-client, then i should be able to access Share with out logging again vice versa.

i have referd

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_With_mod_auth_cas

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Central_Authentication_Service_Configuration

Thanks in advance..!

yogesh_prabhu · ‎08-05-2010

Hi dward,

Its working great..!!!!

Thanx for ur guidance..it was of great help!!!
I am also curious to work on LDAP-SSO..seems to be interesting..would love to have the configuration steps for the same..it will make the process smooth..!!

Thanx in advance..!!!

ankit_yakkundi · ‎08-20-2010

Hi Yogesh
Did you found any solution for SSO integration with alfresco?? Can anyone tell me the steps which i need to follow..
What all files i need to change so that both web-client and share works with SSO.

By doing the above changes in webclient,now am i able to get cas login page but i have to login again, but this is not the case with share. when i login for share, share' s page opens..

Any idea or suggestions are welcome

Thanks in advance…

Its urgent..

Hi hosein
First you tell me which LDAP server and CAS are you using? and are you integrating LDAP with alfresco or alfresco portlet? Sinc i have no idea how liferay and alfresco is integrated, so if you are integrating LDAP with alfresco portlet then sorry i can't help you, but if you are using alfresco software then i might help…

hosein · ‎08-24-2010

i integrate Apache Directory Server and CAS with liferay. then install Alfresco portlet on liferay.

Apache Directory Server : http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/downloads.html
CAS : http://www.jasig.org/cas_server_3_4_2_1

you should learn about LDAP and its syntax , download jxplorer for create LDAP tree .

you should unzip cas server in webapps of tomcat.

there is some useful links :
