Seriously need help with Authentication

[tcordova]

I'm desperately trying to put together a technology demo for one of our departments by Friday as a proof of concept and I'm having major issues with authentication.

First I set up NTLM pass through, but that won't work with CIFS right now, so I can't use it.

Then I tried to remove all the references to NTLM and Alfresco still seems to be authenticating against the domain.  Something is seriously wrong.

I removed the ntlm-authentication-context.xml file from the extension folder and put my web.xml back to the way it was on install.  Now I can't login at all, not even using admin/admin.

Before I do a fresh install and lose 2 hours I'd like to know if there's anything else I can try…

As per this forum post: http://forums.alfresco.com/viewtopic.php?t=2202

Can you change this section:

   <root>
      <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
      <appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
   </root> 
‍‍‍‍‍‍

To read as follows:

   <root>
      <priority value="INFO" />
      <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
      <appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
   </root> 
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

You may also wish to uncomment this section:

   <!– Limit JBoss categories
   <category name="org.jboss">
      <priority value="INFO"/>
   </category>
   –>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Please let us know if this helps.

Thanks,

Kevin
