Authentication problem browsing spaces - No SecureContext

[guillaumeb]

Hi,

I am trying out the Alfresco with JBoss release on a Win 2003 Server machine.
I have created a space and managed to create a couple of content pieces (html + txt + pdf).
The PDF creation failed.

I am not even sure it is related with the content creation but I get the following errors when I browse through the spaces, even the default ones (from install):
A funny thing is that it does work sometimes though.

I login with admin/admin account and it seems to be an authentification issue at the space level.

Also, the <machine_name>_A/alfresco share is not created at server startup, which means I also have a CIFS problem there.

Anyone had similar issues?

Same problem here, Alfresco 1.1 JBoss bundle, installed on Linux.

This error happens ocasionally (but rather frequently) when browsing through spaces. From what I can tell, it happens more when entering some spaces for the first time after starting Alfresco.

We'll take a look at this problem, thanks for reporting it. I expect there will be a bug fix release to solve this and other problems some time next week.

Thanks,

Kevin

OK I think i've found the problem and fixed it. Will be available in the next nightly build/release or you can extract the code from our public SVN server if you prefer.
