Hello,
I want to use Alfresco as CMS in Liferay.
I don't want the whole Alfresco as portlet.

How can replace Liferay CMS with Alfresco CMS?
OR
Can a create a custom portlet in Liferay to use Alfresco as CMS?

Hello Norgan,
I am able to add Alfresco as a portlet in Liferay. That take the whole Alfresco as a portlet.

What I want is to use Liferay as a Portal and Alfresco as a CMS.
I don't want to use Liferay's CMS.

I can do it by using RESTful APIs, but is their any other solution readily available.

hi guys!

I have been looking for a way to enforce double log in, meaning that the user does not have to login to liferay first and then to alfresco. But would just login to liferay and automatically get logged in to alfresco.

Please, help me!

Hi bokeshka,

You need to use SSO to achieve this task…

[norgan]

Hmm … could you post which softwarestack you are using exactly ?

And does SSO work with you ?

I didn't  do it myself, but gone through some links of Cignex of full integration of Alfresco + Liferay with SSO.
