I believe I have found solution to this problem (after 2 days of frustration).

The source of this error is Tomcat session persistence, which requires all attributes in the session be Serializable. The NTLMLogonDetails object, that Alfresco stores in the session, is, however, not Serializable.

Therefore, the workaround is to disable Tomcat session persistence. This can be done in a "context.xml" configuration file in Tomcat conf directory:


<Context>

    <!– Default set of monitored resources –>
    <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
   
    <!– Uncomment this to disable session persistence across Tomcat restarts –>
    <Manager pathname="" />

</Context>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

However, this was not enough - there is a <distributable/> tag in Alfresco web.xml, which has to be commented out. Otherwise it overrides the settings in context.xml.

see http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/manager.html
