Hey all,Finally, I have the two last issues with integrating alfresco with active directory. I have authentication via LDAP setup using JAAS as mentioned in the WIKI [http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Enterprise_Security_and_Authentication_Configuration].This works fine.Problems :1) I have LDAP User & Group Synchronisation setup with Active directory and both are working fine. However, when I check out the groups that have been synced in alfresco there seem to be no users under them. The users & groups are synced properly and there are no errrors in the logs. Its only that from the administrative console iam not able to see what users belong to a group. I have also applied the fix mentioned in one of the topics which doesnt sync empty groups from the AD.
<property name="groupQuery">
<value><![CDATA[(&(objectclass=group) (member=*))]]></value>
</property>
2) CIFS does'nt work. I have tried all authentication methods listed in http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/CIFS_Server_Authentication. For all of them, I get the same error.
