LDAP setting problem

[evan]

Hi All,
I have a  existing ldap server , i have set the  authentication.chain=alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm to authentication.chain=myldap:ldap,alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm in "alfresco-global.properties"
my ldap server message is :
Base provider URL: ldap://sample:10389
Base DN: dc=userstore,dc=siteminder
Principle: CN=mytest,OU=Service Accounts,OU=Domain Administration,OU=AM,DC=Userstore,DC=Siteminder
Credential: 12345
now ,i set /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/subsystems/Authentication/ldap/myldap/ldap-authentication.properties  below:

# This flag enables use of this LDAP subsystem for authentication. It may be
# that this subsytem should only be used for synchronization, in which case
# this flag should be set to false.
ldap.authentication.active=true

#
# This properties file brings together the common options for LDAP authentication rather than editing the bean definitions
#
ldap.authentication.allowGuestLogin=true
# How to map the user id entered by the user to that passed through to LDAP
# - simple 
#    - this must be a DN and would be something like
#      uid=%s,ou=People,dc=company,dc=com
# - digest
#    - usually pass through what is entered
#      %s
# If not set, an LDAP query involving ldap.synchronization.personQuery and ldap.synchronization.userIdAttributeName will 
# be performed to resolve the DN dynamically. This allows directories to be structured and doesn't require the user ID to
# appear in the DN.
ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=uid=%s,ou=Service Accounts,ou=Domain Administration,ou=AM,dc=Userstore,dc=Siteminder

ldap.authentication.escapeCommasInUid=false

# Comma separated list of user names who should be considered administrators by default
ldap.authentication.defaultAdministratorUserNames=evan
# This flag enables use of this LDAP subsystem for user and group

ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.credentials=12345

# If positive, this property indicates that RFC 2696 paged results should be
# used to split query results into batches of the specified size. This
# overcomes any size limits imposed by the LDAP server.
ldap.synchronization.queryBatchSize=1000

# The query to select all objects that represent the groups to import.
#ldap.synchronization.groupQuery=(objectclass\=groupOfNames)

# The query to select objects that represent the groups to import that have changed since a certain time.

# The query to select all objects that represent the users to import.

1. I hope to know ,where is wrong in my ldap-authentication.properties 
2. have other properties file need i to set?
3. where and how to set the ldap.synchronization.defaultHomeFolderProvider=userHomesHomeFolderProvider to run?
thanks all.

You are not supposed to edit anything under WEB-INF classes. Read http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Subsystems#Configuring_Subsystems

Note that commenting out a property in this WEB-INF file will not disable it - it will break the subsystem as you are removing one of the defaults referenced by the Spring configuration.

Please re-install alfresco.war and do not edit WEB-INF.

If your LDAP server is Active Directory, rather than OpenLDAP, use the "ldap-ad" subsystem rather than the ldap susbsystem

authentication.chain=myldap:ldap-ad,alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm

Then try these settings in $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/ldap-ad/myldap/ldap-authentication.properties

I note that your user class is userProxy rather than user. This suggests that you are using ADAM mode.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738377(WS.10).aspx

I'm not sure this is ever going to work? Does userProxy have all the attributes of the user, such as UID and email address?

Your original setting for userNameFormat cannot be right as it does not allow any of the users under userSearchBase. I have left it blank so that the DN gets resolved dynamically using personQuery. Good Luck.
