Admin Tools timeout

[miroslav]

Hello,

I deployed an Alfresco Community 6.2.0-ga in a docker on our server, I am trying to access the "Admin Tools" from Share, the operation ends with timeout (one line in nginx access log), share access log follows:

Don't you know how to investigate it further?

Try disabling the CSRF, add the following in share config and see if it works for you:

 <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="CSRFPolicy" replace="true">
        <filter/>
</config>

Or, try adding this to the JAVA_OPTS in your existing docker-compose.

-Dcsrf.filter.enabled=false

I just tried launching the containers with latest docker-compose.yml available here: 

https://github.com/Alfresco/acs-community-deployment/blob/master/docker-compose/docker-compose.yml

I do not see any issues launching the admin tools though. Try the latest docker-compose.yml given above to launch containers.

Also, share the docker-compose.yml "if" you are using currently

Thank you for the answer. I have two environments, one "testing" works great, the other "internal" works also great except "Admin Tools".  At the beginning there were some CSFR filter errors in access logs, I deactivated CSFR in the configuration file and also in mentioned XML file. Based on the latest information the server and "Admin Tools" can be accessed from internal address. I am working throught Cisco VPN, there is some problem in the environment and some proxy server - so commit and run 🙂

@miroslav Glad to hear that it is now working. Good luck
