Liferay and Alfresco doclib integration

I saw in the linkhttp://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Doclib_Portlet#PrerequisitesAlfresco supports doclib integration only with Liferay 5.2.3Is there any plan for it to support in the future for Liferay 6 and its future releases?Thanks,Patil

Actually, I think those instructions are out of date now and the portlets should be fine in Liferay 6. If you come across any problems, please be sure to raise them in JIRA.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Mike for confirming this.

1. Where can I get the latest instructions to do the same integration?
2. I am looking for SSO integration.
When I put
ntlm.authentication.sso.enabled=true

in alfresco-global.properties

then the portlets are showing messages as Portlet is temporarily unavailable.

Can you please tell me what I might be doing wrong here?

If ntlm.authentication.sso.enabled=false then portlets works fine.

Thanks,
Patil

Hello,

unfortunately - using the standard subsystem configurations - activation of SSO on any subsystem (alfrescoNtlm, passthru or kerberos) deactivates the filter that does the remote user mapping necessary for the Liferay Portlets. This is just a configuration issue and can be safely adapted. You need to provide a custom ntlm-filter-context.xml for your subsystem of (SSO) choice, which includes the following


<property name="remoteUserMapper">
   <ref bean="RemoteUserMapper" />
</property>
‍‍‍‍‍

for the bean "globalAuthenticationFilter" (and, if relevant for other interfaces, "sharepointAuthenticationHandler" and "webDavAuthenticationFilter").

Regards

This is the problem with the connector. Liferay uses X-Alfresco-Remote-User as the proxy header and if you have the header other than this then the integration will fail
