ECM in WEB

[rowellmagno]

Hi Guys,

Just a newbie in using Alfresco ECM.
Here are the scenario, I want to setup an ECM Appliance bundled with Ingres database to one of our servers.
We already have made it running but only thru local internet only or Intranet.

What I have in mind is to set up and ECM on one machine and access it anywhere as long as there is an Internet Connection on the area.
Of course, using the username and password granted.

Is it possible guys?!

Kindly educate me.
Thanks a lot

This is possible, like it is possible on your internal network. the most important difference is that most network providers dont allow access over port 137/138 for CIFS. And i would suggest a reverse proxy in front of Alfresco, like Apache that does authentication. Otherwise all requests (like DOS attacks) end up on Alfresco which is useless load. Apache is more efficient in such cases.

hope this answers your question.

it up?

I dont think i can in detail. I dont know your environment. If you're running on a linux system with RPM, you can just use yum to install apache. Then you;d need mod_proxy_ajp as a tomcat connector. Finally set up your Apache configuration to ask for authentication and proxy trhrough to Alfresco. I'm not an Apache expert either.

Good luck!
