ACS and Share on EKS

agermain — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 18:06:17 GMT

Hi Everyone,

We are deploying alfresco ACS and share on EKS(kubernetes, aws) and I was wondering sometings.

Here our setup.

ACS and share are on separate pods
Clustering is disable
We are using S3 connector
An EFS for alfr_data
Load balancer for share so that user are bind to one share instance

The probleme I have is when I scale ACS to more than 1 replica, during login in share I have "Unable to retrieve user from repository " but if I refresh the page everthing is good and work correctly until my next login.

I was wondering, is it possible this bug is caused because clustering is not enabled ? Or is there something special to do when share and acs are not on the same "node/server" ?

We have a load balancer with session/cookie for share pod so that a user is bind to one share instance. Does every share instance need to have a session/bind to one acs instance ?

Thanks you for your time.
