Hi isloat,

You have to first get the alfresco ticket from another webscript i.e.

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/login?u=admin&pw=admin

This will return the alfresco ticket like

<ticket>TICKET_9d59e7ab9c6e55c9bdfe60e2c2ea3bdd605f547b</ticket>

Get the ticket from the string by doing string operations . For e.g.


 if (ticket != null && ticket.contains("TICKET"))
        {
            this.authenticationTicket = ticket.substring(ticket.lastIndexOf("TICKET"), ticket.lastIndexOf("</ticket>"));
        }‍‍‍‍‍

Pass the ticket in your webscript by appending the ticket in the url as
alf_ticket=authenticationTicket .

Thanks,

Thank you
But I already have the ticket, I don't have the password.

So, Is any way to authenticate with a valid ticket without re-typing user & pass ?

Thanks!
