Ldap and afresco 5.2 synchronization

Jump to solution

I am currently configuring alfresco to use ldap server for authentication. I followed the offecial documentation and i updated alfresco-global.properties file, i can log in with ldap users but i don't see any group of dap and i see only ldap users who already connect with alfresco if a user did not logged in  alfresco i don't see him . i am using alfresco 5.2  and apache LDAP and this is my alfresco-global.properties file and the ldap hiarchy.

ldap.authentication.active=true

Invalid DN

You need to change 

ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal=admin

to something like

ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal=cn\=admin,ou\=users,o\=mojo

Hi fatma,

That's the normal behavior when you have Syncronization disabled in your ldap subsystem

ldap.synchronization.active=false

You need to enable syncronization and configure it following this documentation

Hope it helps

You're right, I was looking at your config in the previous post.... sorry

Having this enabled

synchronization.syncOnStartup=true

Can't you see output in your catalina.out regarding your ldap1 auth subsystem trying to synchronize users and groups when you start the server? The config looks fine

Make sure the two ldap properties below are set to LDAP schema attributes defined for your users with non-empty values in your Apache LDAP.

In the example below make sure 'givenName' and 'cn' are set in LDAP.

# The attribute on person objects in LDAP to map to the first name property in Alfresco
ldap.synchronization.userFirstNameAttributeName=givenName
# The attribute on person objects in LDAP to map to the last name property in Alfresco
ldap.synchronization.userLastNameAttributeName=cn
