Alfresco 3.4.d + Office 2010

[latre]

I have my alfresco 3.4.d in linux and i can access to my AD in 2008, i can see http://MyIP:8080/alfresco and http://MyIP:8080/share no problems, i can work with 2003 and 2007(sharepoint protocol).

But now i need work with 2010, and when i want open a document with http://MyIP:7070/alfresco/ ask for a password but not logme in, ask again for password.

I made a change in registry of Win7 for BasicAuthLevel=2 and por ssl the same in office, but still have this problem.

How can i access from office 2010 to my alfresco with sharepoint protocol??

I'm at my wits end with this:

Windows XP:  Works perfectly with all versions of Office.  I get a login prompt, enter my credentials and it works fine.

Windows 7: Does not work with any version of office.  I always get a login prompt, it doesn't matter what credentials I use, the login is not accepted.

The issue is definitely Win7 specific but all the guides I follow make no difference.  Is there anyone out there prepared to access my DM from a Win7 machine and let me know if they have any success??  PM me and I will create a site login for you.

Note this isn't an Office 2010 issue but a Win7 issue

I can use Office 2007 on Win7 to access the Sharepoint interface just fine.  When I attempt Office 2010 from Win7, I get the popup when I open the document, then Word starts up but only to a blank document.

Does anyone have Office 2010 working with Alfresco 3.4d from Win7?

Anyone?

Hi,

I have Office 2010 working with Alfresco 3.4d in Win7.

Did you add the key to your registry?

Hi,

I did.  Is that what made it work for you??

Would you be willing to log into my DM from your Win7 machine and try 'edit online'?  At least that would confirm absolutely that it is my Win7 clients and not some security issue with Win7 and my alfresco-sharepoint module setup.

Office 2010 started working for me after I started to configure NTLM and SSO.  Notably, when I added this to alfresco-global.properties:

authentication.chain=alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm,passthru1:passthru,ldap1:ldap-ad
ntlm.authentication.sso.enabled=true
ntlm.authentication.mapUnknownUserToGuest=false
passthru.authentication.domain=MYDOMAIN
passthru.authentication.servers=MYDOMAIN\\mydc1.mydomain.local
passthru.authentication.authenticateCIFS=true
passthru.authentication.authenticateFTP=true
passthru.authentication.guestAccess=true
passthru.authentication.defaultAdministratorUserNames=admin
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Restart alfresco and try again.

Hallo everbody,

been trying out alfresco spp for a few days using windows 7 + office 2007 with alfresco community 3.4.c and 4.0.a-070811, following docs.alfresco.com and http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/SharePoint_Protocol .

I'm using NTLM/SSO (alfrescoNtlm - not passthrough at this stage), and even although credentials are the same on both system (windows and alfresco), windows shows me the login prompt and requires me to fill in the password (which is accepted). This is the only remaining issue I can see so far. Maybe that is why the wiki tells to use HEAD with windows 7 (Have not tried NTLM SSO so far with 4.0.a).

We would also like to use alfresco (no matter what version - HEAD is fine if nothing else works) with office 2010. Heiko mentions "functionality is very limted".

Is the alfresco spp + office 2010 combo usable at all ?

Anybody here using alfresco community spp in production (any version of ms office) ?

Any hints where to expect trouble are appreciated.

cheers
Andreas

Still not work with changes in alfresco-global.properties and regedit in Win7.

Pneumatic …can you post your alfresco-global.properties complete??

You made any changes in win7 or office2010?

[deas0815]

we had a whole lot of problems (with Office 2007 and any Alfresco version) until we (just as pneumatic mentioned before) had NTLM set up "properly". It was essential for us to get it working with no authentication dialog showing up (Alfresco Server in "Intranet" Zone").

cheers

Have you guys tried the following registry key (I'm not sure if this affects NTLM or not)

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Internet: BasicAuthLevel=2‍

Additionally for Windows 7 you might have to play with the security settings mainly in Options - Trust Center - Trust Center setting (especially "Protected view", "File block settings" and "Privacy options".

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

I still have the same issue.  I even set alfresco up on a new domain and that didnt help.

XP - I always get the password box but it works and opens the docs

7 - Password box keeps coming back up, ie password is not being accepted

- How can I stop the password box coming up in XP and make 7 work? (Note I have tried all the aforementioned reg mods, Office settings etc.

- Does Alfresco 4.0a do the authentication, sharepoint module stuff any differently ie. is it worth me trying it?

- See below my alfresco-global-properties file, anything I need to add?
