NTLM Authentication

[indand]

Hello!
I'm trying to use NTML Authentication, but I'm having some problems. I've configured everything, and it works fine only if it is a new installation of Alfresco (with no changes).
If it's not a new installation, I get the following error:

net.sf.acegisecurity.AuthenticationServiceException: General error; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Non-unique path: found : /app:company_home/app:user_homes 0
caused by:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Non-unique path: found : /app:company_home/app:user_homes 0

Why? What do I have to change to make it work?
Thank you in advance, it's urgent!

I'm tryin to configure NTLM authentication too.

i've read the wiki for configuring NTLM.
have a user defined in alfresco (same name and password as windows logon)

(alfresco 2.1 community, windows xp pro, firefox with trusted-uris: localhost)

changed the web.xml

the following error occurs:

To the orignal parent poster, I believe it has to do with the User Homes folder not existing or being moved. Hope that helps, even though this response is 2 months after your post!
