I still never find the answer, what is wrong in my configuration.
I have done again and again fresh installation Alfresco Community 4.2.f (b OR c) on Ubuntu Linux 13.10.
Have tryed different configs, but without success.
My trouble is:

I do open page with document through share (Google Chrome).
The button Edit in an interactive mode is there by default, but when pressing it reports: It wasn't succeeded to start Microsoft Office.
I have tried to add addon-online-edit, but in general it is without results, too.
The entrance through Internet Explorer is more informative, - the file can't be open for editing in an interactive mode. You need to establish one of the following connected modules to the browser. For Windows: Microsoft Office 2010.
There is one more curious effect - if in an Internet Explorer on the document page press the button See in the browser, opens the Word, but only in the read only mode. In Chrome only offers to save the local copy.
If I open file from the MSWord - Open the file - \\server:7070\alfresco - normally browses a repository and opens files.
It means link webdav that work!

What is wrong in my configuration?

In order to help you. You will need to provide more information. If you are using windows 7 client you can make the following registry edits to see if that is the cause.


“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters\BasicAuthLevel” (REG_DWORD)
“HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Internet\BasicAuthLevel” (REG_DWORD)

You would put a value of "2" in each key and then see if it will work.

What this does is it tells the OS that you can use the sharepoint protocol in both ssl/nonssl communication. The other thing that you need to look at is your ssl certificate. If you aren't using one than that could be an issue. Myself and anyone else won't be able to further help you until you provide more information.

What method of authentication are you using in Alfresco?

alfrescoNtlm, ldap, ldap-ad, passthru, kerberos, or external?

I do use default alfrescoNtlm, as authentication based on user and password information stored in the Alfresco repository.  I have not done any special steps in installation-configuration process.
Just install alfresco-***-64bit-bin in –mode text at Ubuntu 13.10

To my understanding…anyone else can jump in here to correct me if I'm wrong. I think that the sharepoint protocol also requires some form of authentication on the windows side. Basically credentials from Alfresco's database talks with your windows authentication to match.

We have Active Directory integrated into Alfresco and when users try and edit online they have to enter their username and password.

You might think about syncing active directory or kerberos with alfresco to see if that is the issue.
