You cannot use tickets obtained from /alfresco to authenticate against /share. Alfresco Share does by default not support ticket based authentication.

If you need some form of auto-login, you should look into setting up external authentication via CAS or similar.

Thank you for your clarification. Actually I'm trying to avoid that route (CAS, SSO, LDAP) but it seems I have no other option

BTW, you did say "cannot use tickets obtained from /alfresco to authenticate against /share". Does this means, beside "share", I can put content into normal Alfresco so that I can get it using ticket?

If you have obtained a ticket from /alfresco you can use other ReST APIs on /alfresco to interact with the content of the system using the ticket as your authentication token. You can also use the ticket via CMIS using the special user name "ROLE_TICKET" and the ticket as the password.

Sorry sir I'm lost here when you said "ReST APIs on /alfresco". What is this called if its not REST API? It does contain the word "/alfresco"

Oh I think I got what you mean. "/alfresco" right after the domain name. Right?

Correct. The /share/proxy/alfresco is just a redirect via the Share application using the Share authentication (which does not support tickets itself).
