Default User Homes for Newly Created Users in 2.0

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.

When a new user first logs-in, the default user home is created under the Company Home folder.  I prefer that the default user home be created under the "User Homes" folder.  I may move the user's folder into the "Users Homes" folder after the account is created, but I prefer not to do this.  There must be a setting somewhere defining where the default user home is created.  Please provide the file that defines where the end-user home is created. 

By the way, I am using NTLM authentication in Alfresco 2.0 Community Edition.

Thank you!

In the file authentication-services-context.xml the bean 'homeFolderManager' decides which HomeFolderProvider to use.
By default this is 'personalHomeFolderProvider', which creates personal homes under Company Home. To have them created under User Homes instead, change the 'defaultProvider' property of the homeFolderManager bean to use 'userHomesHomeFolderProvider' instead.

If you wish to avoid editing this Alfresco file directly, override the homeFolderManager bean entirely in a context file in the extension folder (I assume you are already using the ntlm-authentication-context.xml file there, so you might want to use that one).
