NTLM not working in AlFresco v2.0

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.

Having followed the instructions on enabling NTLM at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Configuring_NTLM#NTLM_Passthru_Authentication , when I try to login I am given this exception instead..

Which is reasonable given the implementation of NullMutableAuthenticationDao.loadUserByUsername being …

public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String arg0) throws UsernameNotFoundException, DataAccessException
{
    throw new AlfrescoRuntimeException("Not implemented");
    
//   return null;
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This all happened after I created ntlm-authentication-context.xml with the following content …

<?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="authenticationComponentImpl" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.ntlm.NTLMAuthenticationComponentImpl">
        <property name="useLocalServer">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
        <property name="personService">
            <ref bean="personService" />
        </property>
        <property name="nodeService">
            <ref bean="nodeService" />
        </property>
        <property name="guestAccess">
            <value>false</value>
        </property>
    </bean>    
</beans>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

As this is running on a Windows 2000 workstation, I imagine that useLocalServer=true is reasonable. Can anyone say where I may have gone wrong?

Hi

Change any bean names from authenticationComponentImpl to authenticationComponent.
