 Most settings and configurations can be managed outside of the ''​alfresco.war''​ deployment. Others must be done within that folder. This of course results in a complex update procedure because instead of simply replace the ''​alfresco.war''​ by a new version you have to redo all these steps inside the ''​alfresco.war''​ folder to continue with the same environment as prior the update. Most settings and configurations can be managed outside of the ''​alfresco.war''​ deployment.

-===== Sidepanel with combined Shelf/​Opensearch/​Category browser ===== 
-The default sidepanel with function chooser on top is long winded. Also there is enough space to combine the functions into one single view. 
-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.

 +===== 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.
 +
 +  - In ''<​extension>/​ldap-synchronisation.properties''​ set\\ ''​ldap.synchronisation.defaultHomeFolderProvider=userHomesHomeFolderProvider''​
 +  - Copy ''​authentication-services-context.xml''​ to\\ ''<​extension>/​custom-authentication-services-context.xml''​
 +  - 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.))
