I currently use Alfresco Community 3.2r. I have configured it to be able to use CIFS and manage content locking. See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Locking (I've modified network-protocol-context.xml).
When two users are concurrently accessing the same file via CIFS, content locking works well: the second user is in read-only mode.
But, content locking doesn't work properly in the following case: - The user 1 opens a document via CIFS; - User 2 makes a check out of the same document in Explorer; - User 2 updates the working copy and makes the check in Explorer; - The user 1 updates a document, save and close.
In this case, you lose the changes made by the user 2.
As a matter of act, I have the following questions: - Is this a bug? - Is Alfresco 3.2r able to manage content locking with users using Explorer and users using CIFS, NFS or FTP? - Is Alfresco 3.2r only able to manage content locking with users using CIFS, NFS or FTP (which seems to be mentioned in the Wiki page I have provided above)?
