LDAP Sync

[numan85]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie when it comes to Alfresco and I recently got Alfresco to authenticate with Active Directory but I have not been able to get the Sync to work. (I'm assuming its the sync that is supposed to populate Alfresco with AD users as well as their Contact information, correct?)

Anyone have any tips on what i may be missing?


Thanks!

I removed the ba\\ and just put 579666 and was still able to logon so it authenticated but still no properties. This accout was created to have full rights on AD, it was actually used when we were implementing IBM's lotus connections and it was able to import active directory data into that application. We had an IBM contractor come in and do that though and they used the 579666 pin to bind to AD.

Thanks again for your suggestions IMAD, definitley helping me narrow down the issue.

Hi,

You can try this suggestion:

edit the file and change the content of tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/subsystems/Authentication/passthru/passthru-authentication-context.properties
coyp this file to file tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsytems/Authenication/passthru/passthru1/passthru-authentication-context.properties

    passthru.authentication.useLocalServer=false
    passthru.authentication.domain=
    passthru.authentication.servers=ba\\xx.xx.xx.xx
    passthru.authentication.guestAccess=false
    passthru.authentication.defaultAdministratorUserNames=admin_account
    #Timeout value when opening a session to an authentication server, in milliseconds
    passthru.authentication.connectTimeout=5000
    #Offline server check interval in seconds
    passthru.authentication.offlineCheckInterval=300
    passthru.authentication.protocolOrder=NetBIOS,TCPIP
    passthru.authentication.authenticateCIFS=true
    passthru.authentication.authenticateFTP=true



Edit tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties and change the authentication chain to look something like this,
authentication.chain=alfinst:alfrescoNtlm,passthru1assthru,ldap1:ldap-ad

restart the Alfresco services.

If it does not work, you will verify the content of your file ldap-authentication-context.properties

Hmm it doesnt look like i have that 2nd path…I get to tomcat/share/classes/alfresco/extension but there is no subsystems folder in that path? Do i need to create the rest of it?
