webscripts using /wcservice or /service??

[esource]

on my linux alfresco installation webscripts are called with the url:

http://<host>:<port>/alfresco/wcservice/…

on my windows alfresco installation webscripts are called with the url:

http://<host>:<port>/alfresco/service/…

where is this configured?

[openpj]

These are the different servlet exposed by Alfresco to accepts different authentication methods for WebScripts execution:

• alfresco/service accepts only Basic HTTP Authentication


• alfresco/wcservice accepts all the authentication methods configured for the Alfresco Explorer

This means that if have configured CAS or OpenSSO for your Alfresco Web Client then you can invoke a WebScript using wcservice to use the same authentication method.

Hope this helps.
