| - | The default sidepanel with function chooser on top is long winded. Also there is enough space to combine the functions into one single view. | + | ==== References ==== |
| - | Unfortunately the Category Browser and the Navigator cannot sit inside the same JSP. As a result there is still the function chooser with two options left. The default entry (called shelf) is for shelf/opensearch/category and the alternative one for the navigator. | + | * [[http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Enterprise_Security_and_Authentication_Configuration]] |

| + | ==== Setup ==== | ||
| + | - Copy from extension pack ''ldap-synchronisation-context.xml'' and\\ ''ldap-synchronisation.properties'' to ''<extension>'' | ||
| + | - Add in the xml a bean ''ldapInitialDirContextFactory'' and relating settings for this bean (get it from ''ldap-authentication-context.xml'' and ''ldap-authentication.properties'') instead of the existing alias. | ||
| + | - Rename this bean to ''ldapSyncInitialDirContextFactory''\\ | ||
| + | - Set the default properties relating to AD and add properties like in Table 1 | ||
| + | - In ''<extension>/custom-authority-service-context.xml'' add and check admin user names. They HAVE TO BE case sensitiv even if the Alfresco setting for user names is "not case sensitiv". | ||
| + | |||
| + | ^ Alfresco user property ^ AD property name ^ | ||
| + | | company | organizationalId | | ||
| + | | department | organization | | ||
| + | | description | jobtitle | | ||
| + | <sub>Table 1 - property relation Alfresco AD:</sub> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Corrected and customized home folder creation ===== | ||
| + | Alfresco creates the homefolder for users imported via LDAP automatically. Unfortunately these homefolders are located in the ''Company Home''. This task address that problem and place the homefolders into ''User Homes''. Additionally the inner structure of such a homefolder will be taken out of a template. | ||
| - | - :!: Copy ''JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/alfresco.war/jsp/sidepanel/shelf.jsp'' to ''shelf.jsp.original'' | + | - In ''<extension>/ldap-synchronisation.properties'' set\\ ''ldap.synchronisation.defaultHomeFolderProvider=userHomesHomeFolderProvider'' |
| - | - :!: Add entries for category browser and opensearch into shelf.jsp | + | - Copy ''authentication-services-context.xml'' to\\ ''<extension>/custom-authentication-services-context.xml'' |
| - | - Edit ''<extension>/web-client-config-custom.xml'' and comment the opensearch and category plugin. Set default plugin to shelf. | + | - In this file in the bean description for ''userHomesHomeFolderProvider'' add\\ property ''templatePath''. Point it to a folder which contains the user home template for example: <value>/${spaces.company_home.childname}/${spaces.dictionary.childname}/${spaces.templates.childname}/cm:Homefolder</value> |
| + | - Take care! In ''<extension>ldap-synchronisation-context.xml'' the property\\ ''clearAllChildren'' of ''ldapPeopleImport'' MUST NOT set to true. ((I had activated this setting during the testphase to get new homefolders automatically during each LDAP lookup. But login and work inside the homefolder as a LDAP sync'd user results in tons of error messages.)) | ||
