[m4mf]

One more Question:

AlfrescoV1.3, Tomcat, W2K3 with mysql

with a standard passthru authentication component extention is there an
error with personService reference?
What is wrong in this configuration?

thanks

I think the problem is whith your ntlm-authentication-context.xml

I ran into the exact same problem when the domain property was specified, when I removed this all worked as expected.

Secondly you need to add the servers property to the ntlm-authentication-context.xml, looks like you are missing that setting.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your suggestion, but:

Using Alfresco 1.2 with this configuration for NTLM everything is perfect working!

Only with Alfresco 1.3 there are this errors.

There is somethnig new in 1.3 for
NTLM, but I can't find what!

Any help appreciate!

1. No Errors more after correction:
    <bean id="authorityService" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.authority.AuthorityServiceImpl">
        <property name="authenticationComponent">
            <ref bean="authenticationComponentImpl" />

2.  But CIFS authentication is not working now:

this will be the same problem as in:
http://forums.alfresco.com/viewtopic.php?t=2139&highlight=disallow


Will the problem be corrected in the community release ?

Eventually all bug fixes from the Enterprise Network will be rolled into the Community version. With the Community version you get the latest cutting edge features but we can't always guarentee they will work 100%! The Alfresco Enterprise Network is the way to ensure you have a stable, supported build with a known set of functionality and fixes with specific platform certification. It allows us to make sure that commerical companies using Alfresco can be sure they have a stable build that they can feel happy deploying in a production environment. I'm sure you appreciate and understand the reasoning behind this.
