Edit online problem with Office 2010

[mleppa]

Hello dear Alfresco experts!

I have some challenges with getting the sharepoint pluging to work over SSL with Office 2010 running on Windows 7.

I have done steps that are described in documentation that can be found here http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/tasks/SharePoint-SSL.html

But still after accepting the self-signed certificate Office keeps prompting authentication and then fails and tells that document can't be opened.

Is there some special tweaks that should be done? Any help is highly appreciated 😃

There are plenty of guides in the forum that can help you. One thing though is I don't believe a self signed cert is going to work. I think you actually have to buy one….Unless your just testing. Not sure what your motivation is by signing the cert yourself.

Thank you for your reply ESWBitto! Yeah we are currently testing before actual production and that's why we're using self signed certs.

We have apache frontend and its configuration looks like this:

<VirtualHost _default_:443>

    ServerName ourservername.com


    ErrorLog "logs/alfresco-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/alfresco-access.log" common

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/alfresco*
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/share*
    RewriteRule /(.*)$ /share$0 [R]

    ProxyPass /alfresco ajp://localhost:8009/alfresco
    ProxyPassReverse /alfresco ajp://localhost:8009/alfresco

    ProxyPass /share ajp://localhost:8009/share
    ProxyPassReverse /share ajp://localhost:8009/share

Should I add some proxy setting for vti-server too? I'm quite sure that this problem is some related to proxy settings

@mleppa,

We also setup a virtual host for the sharepoint port number

<VirtualHost *:7077>
  ServerName FQDN

  SSLEngine on
  SSLCertificateKeyFile file path to my key
  SSLCertificateFile file path to my ca.crt
  SSLCACertificateFile file path to my ca.crt

  RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
  ProxyPass / ajp://127.0.0.1:7070/
  ProxyPassReverse / ajp:127.0.0.1:7070/
  ProxyTimeout 300
  SSLProxyEngine on

  <Proxy *>
    Allow from all
  </Proxy>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This might help you….not sure.

Thanks for the additional info, but unluckily there is still some problem. I need to continue investigations 😃
