Hello;
I followed the wiki info to get ldap authentication to work, but it does not do it.
our config: Alfresco.war build with maven2, bea app server 9.1, postgres db 8.1.
I tested my ldap credentials using ldp.exe and I can connect, bind and search…
usernameformat:samaccountname=%s
ad server:ldap://10.4.20.117:389
authenticaion: simple
principal:CN=SA-JANBE-PRDRCQ,OU=Service Accounts,OU=JANBE,DC=eu,DC=jnj,DC=com
personquery
objectclass=user)
search base
C=eu,DC=jnj,DC=com
the ldap-authentication-context.xml file is placed in WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\extension and contains:
In the log4j.properties file in WEB-INF\classes I placed:
When I deploy the application, there is no logging that indicates LDAP errors or info, there is however an error for cifs:
I added an extra administrator named btorfs, and this is in the ou=employees,OU=RNDBE,DC=eu,DC=jnj,DC=com, but this should be resolved because the subtree base isC=eu,DC=jnj,DC=com.
When I try to login I get the error: username,password not known…
Even with the principal account…
Does anyone know why I do not get any LDAP log, or does anyone know why this settings do not work?
thanks,
Bert

<!– LDAP authentication configuration –>
<!–
You can also use JAAS authentication for Kerberos against Active Directory or NTLM if you also require single sign on from the
web browser. You do not have to use LDAP authentication to synchronise groups and users from an LDAP store if it supports other
authentication routes, like Active Directory.

<property name="userNameFormat">
<!–
This maps between what the user types in and what is passed through to the underlying LDAP authentication.
"%s" - the user id is passed through without modification.
Used for LDAP authentication such as DIGEST-MD5, anything that is not "simple".
"cn=%s,ou=London,dc=company,dc=com" - If the user types in "Joe Bloggs" the authentricate as "cn=Joe Bloggs,ou=London,dc=company,dc=com"
Usually for simple authentication.
–>

This bean is used to support general LDAP authentication. It is also used to provide read only access to users and groups
to pull them out of the LDAP reopsitory
–>
<bean id="ldapInitialDirContextFactory" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.ldap.LDAPInitialDirContextFactoryImpl">
<property name="initialDirContextEnvironment">

<!– Ldap Syncronisation support –>
<!–
There can be more than one stack of beans that import users or groups. For example, it may be easier
to have a version of ldapPeopleExportSource, and associated beans, for each sub-tree of your ldap directory
from which you want to import users. You could then limit users to be imported from two or more sub tress and ignore
users found else where. The same applies to the import of groups.
The defaults shown below are for OpenLDAP.
–>
<!– Extract user information from LDAP and transform this to XML –>
<bean id="ldapPeopleExportSource" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.ldap.LDAPPersonExportSource">
<!–
The query to select objects that represent the users to import.
For Open LDAP, using a basic schema, the following is probably what you want:
(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)
For Active Directory:
(objectclass=user)
–>
<property name="personQuery">
<value>(objectclass=user)</value>
</property>
<!–
The seach base restricts the LDAP query to a sub section of tree on the LDAP server.
–>
<property name="searchBase">
<value>DC=eu,DC=jnj,DC=com</value>
</property>
<!–
The unique identifier for the user.
THIS MUST MATCH WHAT THE USER TYPES IN AT THE LOGIN PROMPT
For simple LDAP authentication this is likely to be "cn" or, less friendly, "distinguishedName"
In OpenLDAP, using other authentication mechanisms "uid", but this depends on how you map
from the id in the LDAP authentication request to search for the inetOrgPerson against which
to authenticate.
In Active Directory this is most likely to be "sAMAccountName"
This property is mandatory and must appear on all users found by the query defined above.
–>
<property name="userIdAttributeName">
<value>samaccountname</value>
</property>
<!– Services –>
<property name="LDAPInitialDirContextFactory">

</property>
<property name="personService">
<ref bean="personService"></ref>
</property>
<property name="namespaceService">
<ref bean="namespaceService"/>
</property>
<!–
The path to the location of a space to use as the default home folder.
This folder should be readable by all users, or a group to which all imported users belong.
–>
<property name="defaultHomeFolder">
<value>/app:company_home</value>
</property>
<!–
This property defines a mapping between attributes held on LDAP user objects and
the properties of user objects held in the repository. The key is the QName of an attribute in
the repository, the value is the attribute name from the user/inetOrgPerson/.. object in the
LDAP repository.
–>

<bean id="ldapGroupExportSource" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.ldap.LDAPGroupExportSource">
<!–

For Open LDAP, using a basic schema, the following is probably what you want:
(objectclass=groupOfNames)
For Active Directory:
(objectclass=group)
–>
<property name="groupQuery">
<value>(objectclass=group)</value>

The unique identifier for the user. This must match the userIdAttributeName on the ldapPeopleExportSource bean above.
–>
<property name="userIdAttributeName">
<value>samaccountname</value>
</property>
<!–
An attribute that is a unique identifier for each group found.
This is also the name of the group with the current group implementation.
This is mandatory for any groups found.
OpenLDAP: "cn" as it is mandatory on groupOfNames
Active Directory: "cn"
–>
<property name="groupIdAttributeName">
<value>cn</value>
</property>
<!–
The objectClass attribute for group members.
For each member of a group, the distinguished name is given.
The object is looked up by its DN. If the object is of this class it is treated as a group.
–>
<property name="groupType">
<value>group</value>
</property>
<!–
The objectClass attribute for person members.
For each member of a group, the distinguished name is given.

The repeating attribute on group objects (found by query or as sub groups)
used to define membership of the group. This is assumed to hold distinguished names of
other groups or users/people; the above types are used to determine this.

I had the same problem and I solutionate it changing that in file-servers.xml configuration file.
try it
<!–
<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Filesystem Security">
<authenticator type="alfresco">
</authenticator>
–>
<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Filesystem Security">
<authenticator type="passthru">

</authenticator>try it
