I am currently configuring alfresco to use ldap server for authentication. I followed the offecial documentation and i updated alfresco-global.properties file, but unfortuantely synchronization with ldap users is not done . i am using alfresco 5.2 and apache LDAP and this is my alfresco-global.properties file and the ldap hiarchy.
