Hi

Which version of LAfresco are you using?
You also need a CAS filter wired up before this one.

Hi

This is because the org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.HTTPRequestAuthenticationFilter class has no 'no arg' constructor, so it can not be instantiated using the Class.newInstance() method.

You can develop a class extending org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.HTTPRequestAuthenticationFilter and use this new class as your Filter.


package co.com.arkimia.filters;
public class MyHTTPRequestAuthenticationFilter extends org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.HTTPRequestAuthenticationFilter {
  public MyHTTPRequestAuthenticationFilter() {
    super("x-user");
  }
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Now, in the web.xml, just use the new class


<filter>
      <filter-name>Authentication Filter</filter-name>
      <filter-class>co.com.arkimia.filters.MyHTTPRequestAuthenticationFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
