Use Alfresco Share disable Alfresco Explorer

[qwerty20]

Is it possible to only use alfresco share but not alfresco explorer?
Or what are the ways to do to redirect http and ftp request from alfresco explorer to alfresco share.

Thanks

It's not as easy to do that as it should be.

However I'm sure you can hack out alfresco explorer.    However the web scripts and http transport of alfresco must be left alone for share to work.

There are two easy ways to accomplish this, depending on how many Tomcat servers you have:
1 - Front your Tomcat server with an Apache webserver and then firewall access to Tomcat completely apart from Apache's IP/port.
2 - Use separate Tomcats and firewall the one hosting the /alfresco webapp from everything apart from Share's server.

Note: You'll have to use slightly more complex rules (or port forwarding) if your users use WebDAV, FTP, CIFS, etc. as these hit Explorer's server.

Thanks,

Guys, thanks for the quick response..
Anyway my workaround is to just install apache (though I have doubts at first because of additional memory consumption) then configure proxy settings.
So now, when alfresco explorer is accessed, it will redirected to alfresco share.

Thanks again.
