Liferay 4.3, Alfresco 2.0 and LDAP

[dfeuer]

We are having a real difficult time and would appreciate anyone's help who has done this.

We have installed the Aflresco 2.0 from the Liferay SVN (which works), but we can not get it to work with the Apache LDAP server.  We have tried everything, and if someone knows how to make it work, we would greatly appreciate it.

We had it working with 1.4 and 4.2.2, but can not get it to do so with 2.0 on the Liferay 4.3 portal…

This will help Lakmal as well.

Sincerely,

Don

Hi

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.

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;

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

press sign in

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.

hi dfeuer,

Just wondering if you got it sorted, I've installed various incarnations of liferay 4.3 and alfresco (both from the alfresco site and the liferay svn) but I can't get it to deploy the client portlet, I can only ever see the content portlet, just trying to find someone with similar problems.

Cheers

Tom
