Activiti-1.3.2 and Alfresco -5 integration using Activiti Share Connector-1.3.1

[kpharsha]

Some of the features we need are:
1. Document management and business process (for the end user) in one interface only for a more seamless user experience.
2. Ability to kick off a workflow from a document - i.e. find a document in your repository and select a workflow to initiate using that document.
3. Ability to identify any current or past workflows a document has been associated with a particular document by looking at document meta data.
4. Ability to create users in Alfresco or Activiti. Should be able to login with sama user credentials with both application.

Steps Followed
=====================
Currently i have installed Alfresco One - 5 & Activiti 1.3.2

Configured Activiti Share connector Demo.

After Configuration
================
a) In Alfresco One, New user creation Menu is disabled.
b) In activiti, user created are not able to Login.

Please guide me, what might be the issue.

Hi,

It sounds like using the Share connector gives you all the features that you have listed.

When it comes to creating users it must be done in LDAP. The "synchronization" made by Alfresco and Activiti will only "import" users and groups from LDAP and into their own databases. This means that if you create a user in Activiti that user will never be "exported" to LDAP and thus never be imported into Alfresco's database.

When you have created a user in your LDAP database you will have to wait until that user has been imported into Alfresco and/or Activiti before trying to login with that user. See the following links for more details:
