user groups

[tomw]

I finally managed to get SSO via Jaas and Kerberos. (RC 2.1)
( still in test phase )

Now i want to work with groups.
I want to grant a group from our active directory access-rights to a folder. How can i do that?

At this moment i created our groups in alfresco and when a users logs in, i add them to the group in alfresco. This i very complex and not usefull when we go live.
Has someone an idea how we can fix this?

Thanks

Hi

I suggest you look at importing users and group definitions from AD using the LDAP import.

Can it be done without importing the groups with NTLM authentication ?

[tomw]

LDAP import from active directory works, but now i have another problem.
I can only login with the 'display' name from active directory.
And the 'display name' is not always the same as the login name in active directory.
Example my login name is tomw, my display name is Tom Wuyts.

In that case i can login with Tom Wuyts and the password from active directory but Tom Wuyts is not a member of a group only tomw is a member.

Is i possible to configure alfresco so he uses the login names of active directory instead of the display name.
