How to Switch from LDAP to Active DIrectory for Authentication

Hello,

My Name is Sattar.

Currently we have alfresco 6.0.7 Community in our company. We use and integrate our Alfresco with LDAP for authentication and it work very good and have no issues.

Now, our company have purchased on premise Active Directory to replace our OpenLDAP as new identity service. We will migrate all user in OpenLDAP to New Active Directory. So it will have the same data in terms of quanity, username, name.

My Question is, how we can switch from LDAP to Active Directory in Alfresco without any data lost (ex: exisiting folders, files) belong to users and don't have any duplication for user that has been registered from LDAP?

Thank you for your help.

Best Regards,

M. Sattar Irawan

You need to map the same username in your Active Directory configuration.

For instance, the following configuration is extracting the user name as "uid" on an existing LDAP.

ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=uid=%s,ou=People,dc=company,dc=com

You need to find the same mapping in Active Directory so Alfresco can match the users.
