Hello

I've configured my Alfresco Server for Kerberos SSO integration against Active Directory, the server runs normaly, all SPN's authenticates fine against A.D. but when i try to authenticate my user Alfresco shows the authentication page and prints the following exception:


16:49:08,899  DEBUG [web.custom.KerberosAuthenticationFilterCustom] Kerberos logon error
org.alfresco.service.cmr.security.NoSuchPersonException: User does not exist and could not be created: RogerioP

   at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

I debugged the method getPerson from the code PersonServiceImpl (PersonServiceImpl.java:266) and i finded out that if the user doesn't exists and the createMissingPeople() is false, the user won't be created. So the error is not that but in method AlfrescoTransactionSupport.getTransactionReadState() that alway returns TXN_READ_ONLY and gets to fail the statement: txnReadState == TxnReadState.TXN_READ_WRITE. Look the code bellow:


    public NodeRef getPerson(String userName)
    {
        NodeRef personNode = getPersonOrNull(userName);
        if (personNode == null)
        {
            TxnReadState txnReadState = AlfrescoTransactionSupport.getTransactionReadState(); // Returns always TXN_READ_ONLY
            if (createMissingPeople() && txnReadState == TxnReadState.TXN_READ_WRITE)
            {
                // We create missing people AND are in a read-write txn
                return createMissingPerson(userName);
            }
            else
            {
                throw new NoSuchPersonException(userName);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            return personNode;
        }
    }

Anybody has any ideia what is happening to this code? How can i change to  AlfrescoTransactionSupport.getTransactionReadState() returns the TXN_READ_WRITE value?  :x

Thanks

Ok, I see what was wrong. The Alfresco license was expired, i've changed it and now it works fine. Thanks anyway!  Smiley Very Happy
