hi

I'm using Alfresco alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0 with NTLM + AD by modifying the files as below (pls. see at the end of the post).

After restarting alfresco, users can logon to alfresco via AD authentication.
However, If I login as FOO (new admin user), I can create/delete space and everything but can not delete a user.
The error mesg is: " Failed to delete User due to error: Not implemented"

I search around the forum and google but don't see any similar trouble.
What does it mean Not implemented?
What should I do to get rid of the trouble?

Thank you for your help!


\$ALF_HOME/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/ntlm-authentication-context.xml  as following

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org
/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>

<beans>

    <bean id="authenticationDao" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.authenticatio
n.ntlm.NullMutableAuthenticationDao" />
      
    <bean id="authenticationComponent" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.authent
ication.ntlm.NTLMAuthenticationComponentImpl">
        <property name="useLocalServer">
            <value>false</value>
        </property>
         <property name="servers">

        </property>
        <property name="guestAccess">

        </property>
    </bean>
   
</beans>

And the user FOO to be new admin in the file
$ALF_HOME/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-authority-services-context.xml

<property name="adminUsers">
   <set>
      <!– add an NTLM user as an Administrator –>
      <value>FOO</value>
      <value>admin</value>
      <value>administrator</value>
   </set>
</property>

Hi

If you are using NTLM  and synching users from LDAP then deleting users does not have much point (or if you auto create users) - they will come back in the sync (or as people log in). We are never going to delete users from external authentication mechanisms like AD, LDAP. Delete is not supported by default. The DAO can be configured to support delete - and is in the latest config examples. This will do a delete of the person but not from AD. This is to support cleaning up users who have already been deleted from AD.
