Hello,
I am using Alfresco 4.2.e on Windows Server 2008 R2.
I intent to configure LDAP authentication on Alfresco so that the users of my Windows AD could log on Alfresco.
My problem is the use of a certificate with StartTls encryption method. Anybody of my AD can log on Alfresco, and I haven't found in the documentation something about my case... How can I enforce Alfresco to choose StartTls encryption method?
In alfresco.log, I have the following error :
11:00:00,186 ERROR [org.alfresco.repo.security.sync.ChainingUserRegistrySynchronizer] Synchronization aborted due to error

Method applied :
1) Tests with Apache Directory Studio
* Failed with the previous error when:
server : SERVER.DOMAIN.local, port:389, encryption method : none, provider : JNDI
authentication method : simple, Bind DN/SASL : CN=Alfresco,CN=Users,DC=DOMAIN,DC=local
or authentication method : simple, Bind DN/SASL :
* Succeed with
server : SERVER.DOMAIN.local, port:389, encryption method : StartTls, provider : JNDI
authentication method : simple, Bind DN/SASL : CN=Alfresco,CN=Users,DC=DOMAIN,DC=local
or authentication method : simple, Bind DN/SASL :
2) Alfresco configuration
In alfresco-global.properties file I added in the end :
### Protocoles d’authentification ###
authentication.chain=ldap-ad1:ldap-ad,alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm
### Synchronisation Active Directory ###
synchronization.import.cron=00/309-18?* MON-FRI

synchronization.syncWhenMissingPeopleLogIn=true
I added in the arborescence :

- I copied the certificate from Apache Directory Studio (Window>Preferences>Apache Directory Studio> Certificate validation> export on my PC the certificate CN=SERVER.DOMAIN.local and renamed "certificate.der")
- in a Windows batch console (Administrator mode):
C:\Alfresco\java\bin\keytool -import-alias 192.168.1.101 -keystore "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_45\lib\security\cacerts"-file C:\Users\user_alfresco\Documents\certificate.der
C:\Alfresco\java\bin\keytool -import-alias SERVER.DOMAIN.local-keystore "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_45\lib\security\cacerts"-file C:\Users\user_alfresco\Documents\certificate.der
I indicated my keystore password for each previous command.
I opened the properties of the tomcat service of Alfresco with the following command
C:\Alfresco\tomcat\bin\tomcat7w //ES//alfrescoTomcat
And in Java>Java Options, I added :
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_45\lib\security\cacerts"
I restarted tomcat and... it I could not log on Alfresco.
