Connecting to CMIS using authentication ticket

[alfred]

Hey there

Well, here's the question : How can I connect to the cmis services using an authentication ticket.
I searched for an answer, and I found here http://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-7074 ,that :

Ticket can be specified in password, if any of the following are true:
a) username is not specified (i.e. null, or length of zero)
b) username is equal to "ROLE_TICKET" (case insensitive)
The CMIS REST API has also been updated to support the above, so it's consistent with Web Services.

this is dated from 4 months ago.

I'm using Opencmis 0.3.0, passing the informations as specified

SessionFactory factory= SessionFactoryImpl.newInstance();
      Map<String, String> parameter = new HashMap<String, String>();
      parameter.put(SessionParameter.USER,"");
      parameter.put(SessionParameter.PASSWORD,theTicket);
      parameter.put(SessionParameter.BINDING_TYPE, BindingType.ATOMPUB.value());
      parameter.put(SessionParameter.ATOMPUB_URL,"URLToService/cmis");
      parameter.put(SessionParameter.WEBSERVICES_NAVIGATION_SERVICE, "URLToService/cmis/services/NavigationService?wsdl");
      parameter.put(SessionParameter.WEBSERVICES_OBJECT_SERVICE, "URLToService/cmis/services/ObjectService?wsdl");

, but it returns me this :

org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.commons.exceptions.CmisConnectionException: Parsing exception!
   at org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.client.bindings.spi.atompub.AbstractAtomPubService.parse(AbstractAtomPubService.java:465)

   at org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.client.runtime.SessionFactoryImpl.getRepositories(SessionFactoryImpl.java:69)

I'm using Alfresco 3.4b

Can you tell me what is wrong?

Thanks a lot

The change to support ticket authentication is not in community 3.4b  since it was done 4 months after that release :cry:

You can pick up a nightly build, however HEAD is very unstable at the moment.   It will be in Community 4.0.a.  (If that's the next release)  And is in Enterprise 3.4 SP1 and above.

Ah, that's a good explanation. Thanks mrogers!

What if I only take the changes concerning the ticket authentication on the head ? Is it something to do? And could you tell me where i'll find what I'm interested in, if you know that?


Thanks a lot

Have a look at these files in HEAD:

…/remote-api/source/java/org/alfresco/repo/cmis/ws/AuthenticationInterceptor.java
…/remote-api/source/java/org/alfresco/repo/web/util/auth/Authorization.java
…/remote-api/source/java/org/alfresco/repo/web/scripts/servlet/BasicHttpAuthenticatorFactory.java


Good luck!
