As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

There's someone that know if its possible to utilize alfresco with an Ldap sever (my user are all inside) but i want utilize my old group (that exist in my alfresco version using db)?

Pratically i've call the user in ldap as them was in alfresco but i've not create goups in ldap.

Please Help my, i'm using alfresco community 2.1

This is exactly, what I need for 2.9B. I figured, that this could be circumvented by just providing wrong data for the group import, so that only persons could be found and imported. Of course, the options for not clearing groups

ldap.synchronisation.import.group.clearAllChildren=false
ldap.synchronisation.import.person.clearAllChildren=false‍‍

ought to be set to false in this case.

Indeed this did not lead to a solution, since now Alfresco states

16:34:20,017 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.ldap.LDAPGroupExportSource] Found 0
16:34:20,018 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.ldap.LDAPGroupExportSource] Top 0
16:34:20,018 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.ldap.LDAPGroupExportSource] Secondary 0

in its log, without importing anything.

Is the import of groups a requirement for Alfresco to start the import of persons?
I would need a way to configure the two independently … thanks !

The there-mentioned uncommenting of the triggering group import bean lead to the same result as my try above with providing wrong groupdata.
