Alf4.2 /api/./cmis atompub HTTPS reverse proxy

[dhartford]

Hi all,
I'm trying to use the chemistry opencmis library via atompub when the server is setup for SSL, but when using the library the app:collection keeps redirecting the URL to a non-secure version.

atompub xml snippet:

<app:collection href="http://..:80… ‍

Desired outcome is to use the https:// version expected.

I've tried the spring-webscripts-custom-config.xml approach, but that was apparently for the old CMIS server impl. Using the following API access layer for cmis:

https://<server>/alfresco/api/-default-/cmis/versions/1.0/atom‍

thanks for any assistance,
-D

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

confirmed, thanks Nick!

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>
