we have a client app that runs on iOS devices. It can communicate with sharepoint servers with NTLM so that you can read and edit the documents in the sharepoint server. I am trying to make it work with Alfresco. For that purpose, I need to set NTLM and sharepoint protocol in my Alfresco server.
The problem is that if I configure my device's app to communicate with http://myserver:7070/alfresco, it also asks for credentials, but once introduced it asks for credentials again and again forever.
I have captured the traffic, and it seems that after NTLM negotiation, Alfresco server answers with "http 200 OK", but without any other information, and then the client app asks for credentials again. I am not sure if the redirection from http://myserver:7070/alfresco to http://myserver:8080/share/page/user/admin/dashboard is correct for the device's app. Maybe the destination url should be http://myserver:8080/share/page/repository so that the app could see the documents in there, but I don't know how to do that redirection. I cannot stablish that url directly in my client app (it does not work), as we need sharepoint protocol, so the very first url in the app has to be http://myserver:7070/alfresco.
The first question is, how can I set that redirection? But of course I don't even know if that would solve the problem, so the second one is, any ideas on how to make my client app work with sharepoint protocol and NTLM as it works with a sharepoint server, so that I can see the documents in Alfresco as I do in sharepoint server?
I have the same problem in Alfresco 4.2b, but I diagnosed a different source of the problems. When you use an trailing slash after the url, so 'https://example.com:7070/alfresco/' it does actually work. When you don't put a trailing slash after the url, I get redirected to share. This is when using the internal Alfresco NTLM-authentication.
I've searched for this redirect, but I can't find it anywhere in the code. Can someone point us in the right direction?
