where to place my own authentication chain property file?

[bluearth]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set alfresco to authenticate to active directory
After reading the Alfresco Auth Subsystem, I get that I need to override the config in my alfresco-global.properties, and then create another property file that govern the ldap authentication subsys.

I've changed the alfresco-global.properties as the following

#shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties
#…
authentication.chain=myldapauth:ldap
#…
‍‍‍‍‍‍

The question is where should I put the configuration for myldapauth?
And what should the filename be?

Thanks

Ignore my question. I've made it work already.

Everything goes into alfresco-global.properties after all.

Just not sure if it's the best way to do this

Regards.

The properties file for the ldap authentication component should be placed in:

tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authentication/ldap/myldapauth/

You could name the file whatever you like, as long as it ends with properties.
