Multiple authentifications for /share

audriusp — Thu, 27 Oct 2016 12:44:37 GMT

Hello, is it possible to use external SSO authentification together with alfresco internal for /share ?Since you edit share-config-custom.xml to change endpoint connector to "AlfrescoHeader", internal alfresco authnetifications stops working.http://docs.alfresco.com/community5.0/tasks/auth-alfrescoe

It is definitely possible to use external authentication together with a standard password-based login. I haven't done that with 5.0 specifically but it worked perfectly fine with Alfresco 4.2 and there are very few differences between the versions overall. Looking at the 5.1/5.2 code base of the SlingshotAlfrescoConnector I see no reason to believe it shouldn't still work.

Do you have any error output in your alfresco.log / share.log files that you could share? What do you mean by "stops working"? Do you still get the login page of Share and it reports that authentication details are not correct or is there a different behaviour?

Since editing share-custom-config.xml, only one remote section is being used (last one). , do i have to enter authentication section twice?

Once ssouserheader, and second for internal auth? i am just gathering info, i will be able to access Alfresco servers in 12 hrs.

Hello,

I have integrated Alfresco Community edition with OpenAm SSO. host.local/share section works fine, but for one application integration we need to intgrate host.local/alfresco section also. I have used https://community.alfresco.com/thread/179036-sso-with-openam for /share section, it works fine. For specific application, I need to set up SSO and header based authentication, for /alfresco section since OpenAM deprecated header passing and that is the only way for application to login. I've read comments in SlingshotAlfrescoConnector.java , it sound something i need. Is there any kind of example for SlingshotAlfrescoConnector solution?

EDIT: I've found [MNT-15795] CAS authentication no longer works - Alfresco JIRA , and as i understand, its not fixed in alfresco-community-installer-201605-linux-x64.bin .

i will try Early access version
