Howto Secure Alfresco with https: access?

[dholgado]

Can someone please explain how to configure alfresco 2.1.0 so that it is accesable via web only through https://

The system is running the Alfresco 2.1.0 tomcal bundle on linux with a mysql database

The linux distribution I have used is debian etch 4.0

I would also like to know how I can configure alfresco so that the user spaces are only accesable by the user alone.

Thank you

I have Alfresco Community 3.3 running on an Amazon EC2 instance. I have pretty much set up everything for SSL access (created the keys, downloaded the SSL cert from GoDaddy, made changes to the Tomcat "server.xml". When I try to login to Share a@ port 8443, I get "authentication error". However, I am able to login to Alfresco Explorer by accessing it at port 8443. I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. Would anyone know what's going on?

Cyndarelli - I can't tell you what's going on, but I had a similar config and experience and I was not able to get it working with Tomcat. I put apache httpd in front of tomcat, got a SSL generated for apache and was able to get it working that way. However, just in case you are not aware, the Flash uploader will not function in SSL (due to Adobe, not Alfresco). So you can use the -one file at a time- html upload, but no multi-upload with https.

We've just added HTML5 drag-and-drop capability to Share (latest SVN HEAD now) which will become released product soon.

This should - hopefully - mean you can use the Flash uploader if you're stuck with MSIE, or native drag and drop if you've got a more modern browser (Firefox 3.6 but with file size limitations due to it's implementation; Firefox 4; Safari 5; Chrome 10).

Thanks,
Mike

Hey guys,

Try using your IP instead!

EX.

https://xx.xx.xx.xx:8443

If this works, than it could be a DNS issue!

That resolved things form me anyway!
