I am experiencing several problems with my alfresco system which is integrated with Liferay. Both system are synchronizing users with Apache Directory Server (LDAP).Periodically, when clicking on links from Liferay to Document in Alfresco an error page is reported: javax.faces.FacesException: Ca

Hi,

I assume that you are using a webscript portlet. If so try using the below authenticator in your portlet.xml.



<init-param>
           <name>authenticator</name>
           <value>webscripts.authenticator.jsr168.webclient</value>
        </init-param>

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

If this doesn't solve, you may need to post the version and environment.

Best Regards,
Shagul

the portlet.xml does contain that init-param. The full file is as follows:
