Does LDAP to Alfresco synchronisation include password synchronisation

captnbob

I'm configuring Alfresco to authenticate and also to synchronise with LDAP.
Authentication to LDAP works (for Share logins), but this isn't supported for CIFS.

For this reason and to save creating users in Alfresco, I also synchronise LDAP to Alfresco. This works properly, except the same LDAP password isn't set on the Alfresco system.

Is it possible to synchronise passwords from LDAP to Alfresco authentication at all?

Hello,

LDAP passwords can not be synchronized / exported to Alfresco with the default LDAP subsystems. I don't know wether password export from LDAP is at all supported unless you maintain it as an additional, clear-text property in LDAP (which you shouldn't). If you could get a MD4-hashed variant of the password securely from LDAP, maybe it would be possible to implement a custom NTLM / CIFS authenticator in Alfresco to support authentication against LDAP even for CIFS, FTP and other specific interfaces.

LDAP synchronization will only sync up users from LDAP and not the password.

You could use a custom authenticator to be used for CIFSAuthentication.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
