Hello all,I'm quite new at the Alfresco system.first of all im using: Alfresco 3.2 CE with Microsoft windows server 2003 r2.i tried to configure ldap on the alfresco but with no success.i've read:http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=14741http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Authentication_Subsystems#LDAPive been told not to touch this directory at all: e:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INFwith all the configuration files inside…so i tried to do the following:1. I've changed the file: e:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco-global.propertiesauthentication.chain=ldap1:ldap-adldap.authentication.userNameFormat=%sldap.authentication.java.naming.provider.url=ldap://my-server:389ldap.authentication.defaultAdministratorUserNames=oferldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal=ofer@mycompany.comldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.credentials=**********ldap.synchronization.groupSearchBase=ou\=Security Groups,ou\=MYGROUP,dc=MYCOMPANY,dc=MYCOMPANY_SUFFIXldap.synchronization.userSearchBase=ou\=User Accounts,ou\=MYGROUP,dc=MYCOMPANY,dc=MYCOMPANY_SUFFIXrestarted alfresco and it didnt work…2. ive changed back the file alfresco-global.properties to its original state and did the following: a. Updated the file: c:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco-global.properties to contain: authentication.chain=alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm,ldap1:ldap b. ive copied the file: ldap-authentication.properties from: E:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\subsystems\Authentication\ldap\ldap-authentication.properties to: E:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\subsystems\Authentication\ldap\ldap1\ and ive put the following arguments inside: # This flag enables use of this LDAP subsystem for authentication.
