How does Alfresco Share obtain the repository documents?

[isloat]

Hi,
As far as I know, a user authenticated in Alfresco Share doesn't involve that is authenticated in  Alfresco Explorer.
So, Do you know how Share gains access to the Repository to obtain the documents without re-authenticating the user? Keeping the user permissions, of course. (In other words, pass the user credentials that Share has to the Repository)

Is any example of a webscript in Share that get a Document, to see haw it works?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Unfortunately, there isn't much write up on the Credential Vault in Surf (used by Share). You'll have to check out the Surf code for it.

Some info on the wiki: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Surf_Platform#User_Management.2C_Connectors.2C_and_Credential_Vaults.
