Ticket authentication using new OpenCMIS URLs in Alfresco 4

amitp85 — Thu, 03 May 2012 06:28:23 GMT

Starting with Alfresco 4, the web script based CMIS implementation (http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/cmis) is deprecated. Where possible, you should use the OpenCMIS implementation instead (http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisatom).In a quick test using curl, I noticed that when a user does not

amitp85,

I don't know, to be honest. I just realized this didn't work this week. I'll ask around. This may take some debugging and some source inspection to figure out whether or not ticket authentication is intended to be supported with the OpenCMIS URLs.

Hello,

The answer is here : https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-7074

Ticket can be specified in password, if any of the following are true:

a) username is not specified (i.e. null, or length of zero)
b) username is equal to "ROLE_TICKET" (case insensitive)

Hope it helps

Works like a charm…

>>> client = CmisClient('http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisatom', '', 'TICKET_e5ce8e2a36af2188dbda30bee4d0633db4605a6c')
>>> repo = client.defaultRepository
>>> repo.id
u'1b8980cc-1f1b-4ac3-b26f-17aeee0cefc9'
>>> repo.name
u'Main Repository'
>>> repo.rootFolder.name
u'Company Home'‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks, Jean-Marie!

That means, I need to use the not cmis-standard url http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/login?u=username&pw=password to authenticate later against cmis?

Is there any cmis-pure way?

If you have username and password ,you can just use them to authenticate direclty using OpenCMIS instead of using ticket.There are many examples you can find.

The "old" URL: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisatom written in http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/pra/1/tasks/opencmis-ext-workbench.html doesn't seem to work with ticket based authentication on 4.2.x, but the following one does:

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.1/atom/ from http://docs.alfresco.com/community/pra/1/concepts/cmis-request-url-format-onpremise.html

Not sure whether this is related but the "old" URL has a pattern /cmisatom that's being intercepted by a "CMIS security context cleaning filter" in web.xml.
