Sharepoint Protocol and 3.4.x

[ebogaard]

We'd like to upgrade from 3.3g to 3.4b (or 3.4a), because of a number of bugs in 3.3g we keep running into.
3.4.b looks very good and passes most of our tests, but we encounter one big problem that blocks our upgrade ambitions: Sharepoint Protocol doesn't seem to work.
We can connect to the server and get asked to login. After I enter this information and press "enter", I expect to see the list of Sites. But in 3.4.a as well as in 3.4.b. Word 2003 gives the error "Cannot find <URL>" (We use the Dutch version of Office, so the English translation may be different).

The configuration voor SPP is as follows in alfresco-global.properties

vti.server.port=7070
vti.alfresco.deployment.context=alfresco
vti.alfresco.alfresoHostWithPort=https://<domain>:443
vti.share.deployment.context=share
vti.share.shareHostWithPort=https://<domain>:443
vti.server.external.host=https://<domain>
vti.server.external.port=${vti.server.port}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

We use NTLM passthru to log in.
In 3.3g the SPP works without a problem.

Please raise a JIRA ticket for this.

Created an issue in Jira: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-5723?focusedCommentId=88524#action_88524

Still, I hope this is a configuration error, so someone can help me a bit sooner than waiting for a bug to get fixed…

Your bug is already under review.

Solved it. It was a configuration error (worked in 3.3g, not in 3.4.b anymore):

In the next line, you need a "/" before the value, so "/alfresco"
vti.alfresco.deployment.context=alfresco <= not OK
vti.alfresco.deployment.context=/alfresco <= OK
