Is multi-tenant SharePoint Protocol Support on the roadmap?

[gronfelt]

I've been struggling to get the SharePoint Protocol Support to work in a multi-tenant environment, but it doesn't appear to be supported yet (I'm running Labs 3.2 Preview). Is this anywhere on the roadmap for the near future? The Alfresco Office plugin seems to be working fine with multi-tenants enabled, but as I understand that won't be developed further, so SPP support would be very welcome.

I don't believe it is specifically included on the roadmap, subject to review and testing. What issues did you experience - please add details about your config and test steps ? Do you see the same issues in a single-tenant environment and/or when accessing documents via the super admin ?

Regards,
Jan

Thank you for your answer. I have described my issues further in this thread:

http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=18065

I've tried to follow the procedure outlined in the document "Getting Started with SPP Support" and it works just as intended with the super admin user, but not with a tenant user (tenant admin or normal user). MS Office just tells me that the action couldn't be finished and no site is created and nothing is uploaded to the repository.

My VTI settings are:

vti.server.port=7070
vti.share.shareHostWithPort=http://a1:8080
vti.alfresco.deployment.context=/alfresco
‍‍‍‍‍

Is there perhaps an issue with finding the right contentstore when there are multiple ones (my tenant have a separate contentstore named domain-name.contentstore)?

I've set the logging level of the VTI-modul to debug, and this is the last related output in the log file:

13:28:54,890 DEBUG [org.alfresco.module.vti.web.ws.CreateDwsEndpoint] SOAP method with name CreateDws is started.‍

When I set the root logging level to debug this is what I get:

(tenant.com, as seen in the last row, is the domain name of the tenant.)

After that it's just non-related messages as far as I can tell.

It would be nice to know if it's supposed to work or not, so I can decide how to move about. Multi-tenancy is essential to my setup, so if MT and SPP support is not possible I suppose I'll have to go with the Alfresco MS Office plugin (which works just fine), however it would certainly be preferable to use the SPP, since that seems to fit better in to the Share concept.

Hello,
I also got the same problem with SharePointProtocol (SPP) Support in a multi-tenant environment with Alfresco Labs 3.2.
I can only login with the non-tenant "Super Admin" but not with any tenant user. Will there be fix or a workaround or is this behavior by design?

Thanks in advance

Hello Alfresco Team,

is there nobody who can answer this simple question:

Is the SharePointProtocol (SPP) Support (VTI) supposed to work in a multi-tenant environment with Alfresco Labs 3.2.

Many thanks in advance

Hello,

I think I found what is preventing a tenant user from logging in via SharePointProtocol. It's the @-Symbol in the username. In Word 2007, when I use name%40tenant.com instead of name@tenant.com as username I get access to the workspace - Jippiie

Does anybodfy know if this is a problem of Word 2007 or rather the vti-module?

Thanks in advance

Stephan
