Installing SharePoint Protocol Support on Linux
To install the SharePoint Protocol Support:
- Shut down your Alfresco server.
- Install the vti-module.amp file into the alfresco.war file using the Module_Management_Tool. The vti-module.amp file holds the functionality for the Sharepoint connector. When you install this file into alfreso.war, it responds to the SharePoint requests from Office, and therefore allows Alfresco to appear as a SharePoint server.
- Copy the ROOT.war file into the Tomcat bundle webapps folder:
- Delete the ROOT folder from the webapps folder (if there is one).
- Copy ROOT.war into the webapps folder.
- Start Tomcat.
- Delete the ROOT folder from the webapps folder (if there is one).
Note:If this does not work, refer to Known Issues in the Release Notes.
