Open download without UI access

[mathieu]

Hello,
In my project, we implement Alfresco Enterprise - v4.2.1.
- For end-user, access to Alfresco (upload, delete…) is only possible with web services (CMIS : /alfresco/service/). There is no direct access to the UI (only for administration).
- After an upload, link to the file is stored in an other tool.
- There is no account for end-user in Alfresco (only for administration). Upload, delete… are performed with technical user.

My questions are:
- When a user clicks to the link of a file (example: http://myalfresco.com/alfresco/d/a/workspace/SpacesStore/8c385fbf-e5f7-4c44-80cf-cb0a380cce5a/doc.pd...), an authentication are required. Who to configure Alfresco to disable authentication for download ?
- Once authentication to download is disabled (point above), my second point is to block access to the UI if the user is not login. Example: if a user has the link http://myalfresco.com/alfresco/d/a/workspace/SpacesStore/8c385fbf-e5f7-4c44-80cf-cb0a380cce5a/doc.pd..., I want that he can download it without login BUT if he keeps only the begining of the URL http://myalfresco.com/alfresco/ I don't want that it can access to alfresco folder tree.

Is-it possible ?
Thank you for you help.

Regards.
Mathieu

Hi,

As you are using alfresco 4.2 there is OOB feature for share documents. You can share/unshare from [strong]Share[/strong] interface, with that share url user can view/download file without authentication.
