SSO with CAS and explorer

[craig_michael_n]

Hi everyone. I am currently new to Alfresco and I am trying to implement my companies existing CAS server with Alfresco explorer and share. I am currently running version 3.4d on tomcat on linux red hat server. I have tried to look around the forms but a lot of the information is out of date. What would be the easiest way to implement this?

Hey Craig,

I'm in the process of completing explorer and share also….. see the forum

The two links at the top will give you the steps to implement; however, I am still getting an error using CAS and Share.

If you end up getting share to work please let me know on the above link what steps you did differently than in tutorial to get it to work. I will update that ticket also if I end up getting share working.

Post any questions you have while going through tutorial and I'll attempt to assist you.

Craig,

Have you had any luck with Share?

Thanks

No, but we are just going to use same sign on instead. CAS will require to much work

What do you mean by "Same Signon"?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

This blog  gives good instruction to do SSO between Alfresco Share and CAS.

The article describes to install both servers (Alfresco & CAS) in localhost. When separating servers in different machine, be sure to create separate self-signed certificate in each machine and let each server know the certificate of the other side. Good luck.
