Hi,

If I want to use AD for authentication, is it easy to do? Does it affect the AD performance?

Thanks,

Imad

Hi,

tehre is no authentication.chain= in tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties.

Have I to add it? and restart the services?

Thanks a lot,

Imad

Hi,

I did, and I restart the Alfresco services and when I try to connect to the Alfresco I get this message:

The remote server may be unavailable or your authentication details have not been recognized.

Here is the configuration file:

/opt/alfresco-3.3.3/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authenication/passthru/passthru1/passthru-authentication-context.properties

passthru.authentication.useLocalServer=false
passthru.authentication.domain=TEV
passthru.authentication.servers=TEV\\192.168.2.11
passthru.authentication.guestAccess=false
passthru.authentication.defaultAdministratorUserNames=adminst
#Timeout value when opening a session to an authentication server, in milliseconds
passthru.authentication.connectTimeout=5000
#Offline server check interval in seconds
passthru.authentication.offlineCheckInterval=300
passthru.authentication.protocolOrder=NetBIOS,TCPIP
passthru.authentication.authenticateCIFS=true
passthru.authentication.authenticateFTP=true

I tried the admin account and adminst but it does not work.

Thanks,
Imad

Hi Cédric,

Sorry, I'm a newbie in Alfresco and I'm not able to integrate AD in my Alfresco. I'm not able to conenct to Alfresco.
I don't know what it is missing in my configuration.

Thanks,

Imad

Hi,

adminst exists in AD. I added this line in catalina.properties
shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/classes,${catalina.base}/shared/lib/*.jar,${catalina.base}/shared/classes/extension/subsystems/****/***/***/***"

I restarted the Alfresco services but I get the same error message.

Any suggestion to debug these errors?

Thanks

Hi,

I changed it. I try to connect by putting adminst and the password, but it does not work. Should I use the domain name to connect?

Thanks,

Imad

Hi,

I want to confirm this information:

Do I need to copy /opt/alfresco-3.3.3/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/subsystems/Authentication/alfrescoNtlm in
tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsytems/Authenication/?

because there is no alfrescoNtlm under Authentication.
You suggested me to add :
authentication.chain=alfinst:alfrescoNtlm,passthru1:passthru
in alfresco-global.properties.

Can you confimr to me that?

Thanks,

Imad

Hi,

I tried it but it does not work and here is the error in the alfresco.log:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'authenticationComponent' defined in file [/opt/alfresco-3.3.3/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/subsystems/Authentication/passthru/passthru-authentication-context.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'passthruServers' while setting bean property 'passthruServers'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'passthruServers' defined in file [/opt/alfresco-3.3.3/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/subsystems/Authentication/passthru/passthru-authentication-context.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: 09270002 Error setting passthru domain, Failed to find domain controller or browse master for DOMAIN

Here is my configurations folders:

#cd /opt/alfresco-3.3.3/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/Authenication
# ls
alfresco.log alfrescoNtlm passthru wcm www

# ls alfrescoNtlm/
alfresco-authentication-context.xml alfresco.log ntlm-filter.properties www
alfresco-authentication.properties ntlm-filter-context.xml wcm

# ls passthru/passthru1/
ntlm-filter.properties passthru-authentication-context.properties

Where is the issue?

Thanks,

Imad

Hi,

I resolved my issues by configuring the files located in : /opt/alfresco-3.3.3/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/subsystems/Authentication and not the shared folders.

It works fine and I was able to use LDAP-AD.

Thanks,

Imad
