Liferay 4.2.1 and Alfresco 1.4 integration

[esteveavi]

Hi,
I'm trying to integrate Liferay 4.2.1 and Alfresco 1.4.
I've followed the installation instructions but I can not find Alfresco Client portlet, only appears the Alfresco Content portlet.
I can not access http://localhost:8080/alfresco/ neither.

I've used Liferay autodeploy.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Esteve,

I have the same problem.
I want to use Alfresco content portlet but I not find the Alfresco client.
In the forum of liferay they have said to me that is possible to create a Alfresco client portlet. They have not said to me how I can do it.

Dear all,

I was having the same problems with the integration. The basic steps for the success of this matter is:

- download alfresco war from Liferay's web page, and rename to alfresco.war
- increase the memory in the [tomcat]/bin/catalina.sh , section JAVA_OPTS you should add -XX:MaxPermSize=128m.
- once logged in in Liferay autodeploy alfresco.war and wait till it finishes the task (see the console of your server). Add content.

That's all I have done and I have successfully installed alfresco portlet in my Liferay portal.

Here's a step by step tutorial in flash from the liferay website:

Dear All.

I have problems with integration related with the user. Is there any information about the synchronization the user of liferay with user of alfresco portlet?
The Alfresco portlet is running fine, i have created different users. I have created space, and added content (html). I have set up well the viewer portlet to see the content. but when I want to see the content it doesn't appear in the portlet alfresco client.
I think the problem is the user synchronization. I didn't find out anything about this issue using google, may be if both, liferay and alfresco, will use a LDAP or CAS authorization mechanism the problem could be resolved.

Regards in advanced.

Hi,

Try this solution.

A solution of SSO plus LDAP for Liferay Portal 4.3 and Alfresco Portlet 2.0.1.

1. First please download an example Liferay Portal 4.3, Alfresco Portlet 2.0.1, LDAP (ADS) and SSO CAS.

CIGNEX_Liferay_43-Alfresco_201-SSO-LDAP.zip

Download from (save link as …)

http://liferay.cignex.com

unzip it in your local machine.

download portal-mysql-43.sql at http://liferay.cignex.com/portal-mysql-43.sql

2. Then create database (this is cofigurable) MySQL

for Liferay Portal 4.3
create database liferay43dev;
grant all on liferay43dev.* to 'liferay43dev'@'localhost' identified by 'liferay43dev' with grant option;
grant all on liferay43dev.* to 'liferay43dev'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by 'liferay43dev' with grant option;

input data
mysql -u liferay43dev -pliferay43dev liferay43dev < portal-mysql-43.sql

for Alfresco Portlet
create database alfresco201plet;
grant all on alfresco201plet.* to 'alfresco201plet'@'localhost' identified by 'alfresco201plet' with grant option;
grant all on alfresco201plet.* to 'alfresco201plet'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by 'alfresco201plet' with grant option;

3. Start your AS from unzipped file
tomcat/bin/startup.bat or sh startup.sh

Go to http://localhost:8080/c/portal/login


4. In CAS login page (https://docs.cignex.com/cas-web), login

possible users in LDAP server (docs.cignex.com) (configurable)
jonas/jonas
jane/jane

…

After login in CAS, you should be in Liferay Portal with your login name. No need relogin in Liferay Portal.

Add Alfresco Ext Client. You should be in Alfresco Portlet with your login name. No need relogin in Alfresco Portlet.

Get it? 

Good luck.
