Renamed LDAP group woes

[idwright]

Hi,

I've renamed a couple of LDAP groups that I'm a member of and now I effectively can't log in to Share.

I wondered if anybody else has seen this and/or has any suggestions?


I see the following in the logs:

2014-10-13 14:02:31,261  ERROR [freemarker.runtime] [http-bio-8080-exec-14] Template processing error: "get(properties) failed on instance of org.alfresco.repo.template.TemplateNode"

I figure that old groups are gone in Alfresco with LDAP synchronization, so Person object cannot be instantiated (thus the deleted nodes in authority). Maybe you can re-arrange your names in LDAP, make LDAP sync again, unsubscribe users from LDAP group, create new groups on LDAP, subscribe users to new groups, sync LDAP again with Alfresco and finally delete GROUPS on LDAP.

Luck!

Thanks for the suggestion - I had tried several variations on that theme in the end I restarted Alfresco and that seems to have solved the problem (I am doing a full, not partial, sync in the cron but that didn't seem to be enough)

This area seems slightly flakey as I always get errors(org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.DuplicateChildNodeNameException) in the logs when I add people to LDAP groups but it seems to work anyway…
