trouble configuring sharepoint with HTTPS

[ajbarnesy]

Hi,

Im new to alfresco and have setup SharePoint though when i go into a document and click edit online, it opens Microsoft Word but doesnt bring up the page.
Does anybody have any knowledge of what i should do?
I thought maybe its because i have SSL on my site, but i cant understand the configuration instructions of configuring sharepoint to work with HTTPS.

thanks in advanced.

Okay so to my understanding you need to setup a keystore and enter in the bean below in vti-context.xml.

    <bean id="vtiServerConnector" class="org.mortbay.jetty.security.SslSocketConnector"> 
     <property name="port"> 
     <value>${vti.server.port}</value> 
     </property> 
        <property name="headerBufferSize"> 
             <value>8192</value> 
        </property> 
        <property name="maxIdleTime"> 
             <value>30000</value> 
        </property> 
        <property name="keystore"> 
             <value>D:/BUGS/ALF-6390/keystore.jks</value> 
        </property> 
        <property name="keyPassword"> 
             <value>changeit</value> 
        </property> 
        <property name="password"> 
             <value>changeit</value> 
        </property> 
        <property name="keystoreType"> 
             <value>JKS</value> 
        </property> 
    </bean>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

with the changed values ofcourse, but apparently theres already a keystore setup? im just not sure how to find it and point to it.

I am experiencing the same challenge.  My environment is Ubuntu 10.04LTS and Alfresco Community v4.0.0 (3979) schema 5025.

I think that this solution is workable, but I am on linux and so the piece of code referring to "D:/BUGS/ALF-6390/keystore.jks" has me confused.  It seems to be specific to Windows environments and pathnames.  Is this applicable to linux?

Cheers,
T

EDIT:  To be more specific, what/where does "D:/BUGS/ALF-6390/keystore.jks" refer to in a linux environment?

Hello,

I have the same problem.

I checked the documentation http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/tasks/SharePoint-HTTPS-setup.html, but i already have Alfresco running with SSL so i don't understand if it's necessary to generate the key pair, and the "Alfresco and Tomcat for HTTPS Configuration" part.

Any solution?

Thanks,

Hi,

Still looking to see if anyone can provide guidance here for a linux environment…

I'll let you know how it goes, I AM doing it on windows (although I'm well versed in linux).
But look at the updated doc, helps make more sense: http://docs.alfresco.com/4.1/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/tasks/SharePoint-HTTPS-setup.html
Also, where you see D:/BUGS/ALF-6390/keystore.jks > it is simply a file location that you are going to store the keystore files in (java cert files basically). In my case (in windows), I re-wrote that to: c:/alfresco/keys/keystore.jks (I created the 'keys' folder), and in vti-context under the keystore property, you put the same value (so it knows where to physically look). Not sure where the linux install structure goes /opt/alfresco ? but basically create a subfolder under whatever it is and rewrite that.

So it almost 100% worked. My only snag is with the share-config-custom.xml, it says to change the endpoint-url (change the http to https and change port from 8080 to 8443), however can't login after change this config file. If I keep them at 8080 and http, I can login, and actually sharepoint does in fact work, but opens up documents in jibberish, guess i'll keep working on it tomorrow and post back.

Just to keep anyone updated, I have sharepoint working 100% over SSL now, oddly, there are some steps I did not need which in fact messed things up more. Where it says to change values in share-config-custom.xml, I skipped this part completely. And the one item they do not detail is that you need to add the following 3 lines into your alfresco-global.properties:
### Sharepoint ###
vti.server.external.host=FQDN-GOES-HERE
vti.server.external.port=7070
vti.server.external.protocol=https

Hi there,

I am unable to get Sharepoint working over SSL, could you help me? A guide or walk-through will be of great help.

Thanks

Thanks a lot. I had to find your comment in order to make it work.
