Import LDAP group in Alfresco Group

[dave984]

My actually configuration about LDAP import all users of LDAP AD group in Alfresco[4.2.c]. The users in Alfrsco are not part of any group.

Is it possible to import from LDAP group1 to Alfresco group1? i'd like to have an association between the group on LDAP and the Alfresco group…
Second step is adding two or three groups in order to have a private site in Alfresco accessible only from each group!

Thanks for answering!

You can't import to Alfresco_Group1 since to LDAP_Group1 is in a different zone.   However alfresco group1 can contain LDAP group1 which should be equivalent.   

However there may be a name clash so I'd name them something different than just "group1".

mrogers thank you for your answer! execuse me i don't understand what "You can't import to Alfresco_Group1 since to LDAP_Group1 is in a different zone" means…
I have a group on LDAP and then i would have it on Alfresco…
Ok for the name clash: let's suppose in LDAP we have the group "Friends" and in Alfresco i want that users will be imported in the "Family" group…
Do you know how i can do that?i've searched in the documentation for this particular issue but i didn't find anything…

Yes just import Friends from LDAP so you have Friends in Alfresco.    And in Family group add the Friends group.

OK sounds good!Actually i can import a group of LDAP in Alfresco, but then the users in Alfresco aren't part of a group…they are common users…
This is my configuration:
alfresco-global.properties

authentication.chain=alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm,ldap-ad1:ldap-ad
‍‍‍

ldap-ad-authentication.properties

ldap.authentication.active=true
ldap.authentication.java.naming.provider.url=ldap://192.168.105.78:389
ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=%s@mycompany.local
ldap.synchronization.active=true
ldap.synchronization.personQuery=cn=Domain Users,cn=Users,dc=mycompany,dc=local
ldap.synchronization.userIdAttributeName=sAMAccountName
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal=some-user
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.credentials=some-passw
ldap.synchronization.groupSearchBase=dc=mycompany,dc=local
ldap.synchronization.userSearchBase=dc=mycompany,dc=local
synchronization.import.cron=0 0 * * * ?

How can i import the LDAP users in an Alfresco group?

[dave984]

Alternatively i could include the users i have already imported in groups based on their email…Something like include in group "Family" all the users with email @friends.com…
Is it possible?
