Trouble accessing share resources via RESTful api and ticket

chuyser — Thu, 04 Jul 2013 00:53:39 GMT

I would like to use the RESTful API to access a list of documents accessible by a particular user. I can log in to alfredo and get the associated ticket, and calls such as http://server_iport/alfresco/service/api/people/username/sites?alf_ticket=TICKET_ticketnum succeed in getting the list of site

Hi Cindy try to pass to your webscript a parameter called "ticket" instead of "alf_ticket".

I have actually tried "ticket" instead of "alf_ticket" to access the share, but had no luck 😞 .

Hi. You can't access to share service using alf_ticket. The alfresco RESTful API resides on the /alfresco context.
You can look at this webscript for example:
http://hostort/alfresco/service/api/node/workspace/SpacesStore/3c1586a2-87da-4611-aa55-99bb88ae4568/children
where 3c1586a2-87da-4611-aa55-99bb88ae4568 coud be the uuid of the user home folder.

Otherwise you can use open cmis library:

or you can easily write your own webscript handling the format you want:

This is admittedly a newbie question – but how would I find the UUID for the user's home folder via the /alfredo context?

I finally got the correct syntax to use /alfresco to access the user's folder with a ticket:
http://serverIPort/ alfresco/service/slingshot/doclib2/doclist /treenode/node/alfresco/company/home/User%20Homes/{username}?alf_ticket=ticketNum

I can also now read the data that is in a site to which the member belongs:
http://serverIPort/ alfresco/service/slingshot/doclib2/doclist/all/node/workspace/SpacesStore/{sitenode id}?alf_ticket=ticketNum

where ticketNum is the TICKET_**** string returned from login.

Thanks again,
Cindy Huyser
