Is it possible to replace the internal used login process via web form? If so, is there any documentation I could take a look at?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Many thanks, I haven't found something valuable yet (or did look in a wrong way). A peek in the "Alfresco Developer Guide" didn't help either, so this might be really a problem? <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:">😉</span></SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards, Alexander</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 18 Feb 2009 08:48:18 GMT alr 2009-02-18T08:48:18Z Changing the explorer to HTTP Basic Auth https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/changing-the-explorer-to-http-basic-auth/m-p/207652#M160782 Helloin order to support some sort of single sign on concept (our own, where the login is done at the "/" URL of an apache using mod_proxy, and after that every URL like /mail, /news, /cms is forwarded from the apache to another application which uses HTTP authentication - so authentication must onl Wed, 18 Feb 2009 08:48:18 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/changing-the-explorer-to-http-basic-auth/m-p/207652#M160782 alr 2009-02-18T08:48:18Z Re: Changing the explorer to HTTP Basic Auth https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/changing-the-explorer-to-http-basic-auth/m-p/207653#M160783 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>For those interested in the issue:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>one possible solution is to write an own servlet AuthenticationFilter and replace the org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.AuthenticationFilter class in the web.xml configuration file with the self written version.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards and have a nice weekend.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>–Alexander</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 20 Mar 2009 16:48:01 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/changing-the-explorer-to-http-basic-auth/m-p/207653#M160783 alr 2009-03-20T16:48:01Z
