Missing folders and files in 5.0a?

[entropicsinkhol]

I have a clean install of 5.0a on MS Server 2012.  I went to set up my ldap settings, but I am missing a bunch of folders, specifically repository.properties and the ldap subsystem folders under C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\subsystems\Authentication. 

I copied the same-named folders/files from the backup of a previously working 4.2e install to the same directories in 5.  They didn't work (could only log in as non-AD user account, like the builtin alfresco admin)

I also tried to copy/paste the combined settings of repository.properties and the ldap-ad-authentication.properties to the alfresco-global.properties file, to see if that worked. No luck.

Suggestions?

Here are my global properties

Are we talking about this issue: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ACE-2133
We are using 5.0.c (CE) and it seems not be fixed.
I have configured LDAP properties in alfresco-global.properties. Authentication works, synchonization not (givenNamen, sn, and mail are synchronized, all other attributes are missing).
Where can we configure additional attributes to be synced (former custom-ldap-context.xml)?
Thank you!

[raurelian]

Please note the original issue described: there are missing files and folders related to the default LDAP configuration which need to be copied but cannot be found. For example, the official Alfresco Community 5 documentation states:

Copy <configRootShare>/classes/alfresco/subsystems/Authentication/ldap/ldap-authentication.properties
to <classpathRoot>/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/ldap/ldap1/ldap-authentication.properties

This path does not exist: <configRootShare>/classes/alfresco/subsystems/Authentication/ldap/ldap-authentication.properties

The only folders that exist under <configRootShare>/classes/alfresco/subsystems/Authentication/ are:
alfrescoNtlm
external
kerberos
passthru

There is no LDAP and no such file as "ldap-authentication.properties"

I am using a Bitnami Linux VM image with Alfresco Community 5.0c

Any ideas on why these files would be missing?

Hi RAurelian,  In version 5.0 of Alfresco there are no folders that you want (LDAP) The settings for Ldap must place the file "alfresco-global.properties"
that should be in the path "/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes"

Hi Erick,

Thank you for this information!

[boiss007]

The new build (alfresco 5 use Maven) doesn't come with the subsystems properties files, but you can still find them in the git repository, just do a google search for "alfresco git ldap-authentication.properties" and copy the content of the files the ldap subsystems directory, then you can configure your authentication outside of the alfresco-global.properties

[joe_l3]

Hi all,

starting from version 5, to get the ldap subsystem folders you need to extract the JAR file located in WEB-INF/lib/alfresco-repository-(ver).jar

Alfresco 5 packaging was changed due to code refactoring and integration with Maven. So some files used for edit in webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/* are now moved in the compiled JARs.
According to the release notes, there's a known issue about this :

I hove it will be useful
