By default, Alfresco will tell OpenCMIS to refer to itself in service documents based on the details of the inbound request. However, if you have a reverse proxy in place which is doing the SSL termination, that can mess things up

If you have a look in the full

repository.properties‍

near the end, you'll see a section for

# URL generation overrides‍

under <em>OpenCMIS</em>. Those are the properties you can set to tell Alfresco to tell OpenCMIS to call itself something else

The <a href="http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/tasks/configure-ssl-prod.html">Configuring SSL for a production environment</a> section of the Alfresco deployment guide covers what you normally need to set in your

repository.properties‍

to get the write customised/overriden URLs written into the CMIS service descriptors

The information from http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/tasks/configure-ssl-prod.html did the trick for alfresco version 4.2.f (and 5.0).

alfresco-global.properties:


opencmis.server.override=true
opencmis.server.value=https://<external-proxy-host-name>
