Hi all-So, let me first start off by saying that I am very new to Alfresco and have only been experimenting with it for about the last 2 months. In saying this, thanks to the wiki articles concerning the Alfresco Subsystems and such, I have been very successful in configuring my Alfresco installation. However, I currently have a problem/question concerning pulling additional attributes (for example, "location" attribute from Active Directory) into Alfresco, which, as far as I can tell, is not done with the "default" properties file (ldap-ad-authentication.properties).There is no question - my Alfresco installation is successfully syncing users against Acitve Directory (AD) and authenticating quite nicely against it. However, when I log into Alfresco as one of my users and browse to "User Profile and Settings" area of Alfresco, I only see that the "First Name", "Last Name", "Email" and "Organization" has been populated, according to the data in AD. I was wondering, can the remaining fields (for example, "Job Title" and "Location") be also populated from AD during a sync? My assumption was "yes", so I went searching around and found the following post:http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=21588I thought that it applied to what I was trying to achieve so I followed it. However, I cannot populate these fields. Perhaps, I am missing something?About my settings/configuration as of now:Here is my authentication chain - authentication.chain=alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm,ldap1:ldap-ad
Therefore, I have created the directory structure for the Authentication subsystem based on this. Accordingly, I have created two files - ..tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\subsystems\Authentication\ldap-ad\ldap1\ldap-ad-authentication.properties..tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\subsystems\Authentication\ldap-ad\ldap1\custom-ldap-context.xmlFor ldap-ad-authentication.properties, I have added the following to the end:
#CUSTOM LDAP MAPPINGS
ldap.synchronization.userJobTitleAttributeName=title
ldap.synchronization.userOrganizationAttributeName=department
ldap.synchronization.userLocationAttributeName=physicalDeliveryOfficeName
ldap.synchronization.userMobileAttributeName=mobile
ldap.synchronization.userCompanyPostCodeAttributeName=postalCode
ldap.synchronization.userCompanyFaxAttributeName=facsimileTelephoneNumber
ldap.synchronization.userCompanyTelephoneAttributeName=telephoneNumber
ldap.synchronization.userCompanyEmailAttributeName=mail
ldap.synchronization.userPersonDescriptionAttributeName=info
ldap.synchronization.userTelephoneAttributeName=homePhone
ldap.synchronization.userCompanyAddress1AttributeName=streetAddress
ldap.synchronization.userCompanyAddress2AttributeName=l
ldap.synchronization.userCompanyAddress3AttributeName=st
For custom-ldap-context.xml, I have added the following (under the "userRegistry" Bean id and "attributeMapping" property):
<!– CUSTOM ENTRY KEYS –>
<entry key="cm:jobtitle">
<value>${ldap.synchronization.userJobTitleAttributeName}</value>
</entry>
<entry key="cm:organization">
<value>${ldap.synchronization.userOrganizationAttributeName}</value>
</entry>
<entry key="cm:location">
<value>${ldap.synchronization.userLocationAttributeName}</value>
</entry>
<entry key="cm:mobile">
<value>${ldap.synchronization.userMobileAttributeName}</value>
</entry>
<entry key="cm:companypostcode">
<value>${ldap.synchronization.userCompanyPostCodeAttributeName}</value>
</entry>
<entry key="cm:companyfax">
<value>${ldap.synchronization.userCompanyFaxAttributeName}</value>
</entry>
<entry key="cm:companytelephone">
<value>${ldap.synchronization.userCompanyTelephoneAttributeName}</value>
</entry>
<entry key="cm:companyemail">
<value>${ldap.synchronization.userCompanyEmailAttributeName}</value>
</entry>
<entry key="cm:persondescription">
<value>${ldap.synchronization.userPersonDescriptionAttributeName}</value>
</entry>
<entry key="cm:telephone">
<value>${ldap.synchronization.userTelephoneAttributeName}</value>
</entry>
<entry key="cm:companyaddress1">
<value>${ldap.synchronization.userCompanyAddress1AttributeName}</value>
</entry>
<entry key="cm:companyaddress2">
<value>${ldap.synchronization.userCompanyAddress2AttributeName}</value>
</entry>
<entry key="cm:companyaddress3">
<value>${ldap.synchronization.userCompanyAddress3AttributeName}</value>
</entry>
The rest of "custom-ldap-context.xml" is just a copy of "common-ldap-context.xml". I do not see any error messages concerning this in "alfresco.log", but then again, I do not think that attribute-level mapping information is logged (from other posts I have come across). Perhaps, this file is not being read?I also used this page as a reference:http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Subsystems#Spring_BeansAny help would greatly be appreciated.Thanks for your time in advance.
