Any problem with CAS + Alfresco

[archana_bonkanp]

Hi All,

I configured CAS with ALfresco,by following the belwo site
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Central_Authentication_Service_Configuration
its workign fine.
In the site its mentioned that users with admin role wil not be able to view some icons.
is that problem solved because we are not experencing any problems.

I have tried  both the tomcat only version and the apache mod_auth_cas version.
Both works fine.

It only works for Alfresco Explorer though. I am looking for ways to casify Alfresco Share.

Our IT team blogged about this (in French, though): http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://blog.atolcd.com/%3Fp%3D115&sl=fr&tl=en

Thanks for the pointer. It works fine with /alfresco. There is the following error for /share:

HTTP Status 500 -

Any clues will be greatly appreciated.

The error we get is becos of improper configuration.

If the CAS service url does not match you may get the url encoding error ,there are other reasons too .Make sure to edit all the java and xml files with proper cas url.

Check every file for cas url - very important

I made it work on alfresco 3.2 preview too

I have tested the solution provided in http://blog.atolcd.com/?p=115. Suggestion for Alfresco is working fine where as for the Share its throwing the error as mentioned above. I am a beginner in Afresco. So please put ray into this.Thanks in advance.
