Hello Alaaeldin, me again.
Unfortunately still no clue what's wrong with my setup
. Today I tried Alfresco 3.1 Enterprise instead of 3.2 CE, same behavior. To confirm my consumption, authentification doesn't work, I turned off automatic user creation within Alfresco. As expected, AWPr My Spaces displayed an Alfresco login screen.
What i did in detail:
- set up Liferay 5.2.3 bundled with Tomcat 5.5.27 (localhost:8081, AJP port 8010)
- set up Alfresco 3.2CE/3.1E bundled with Tomcat 6.0.x (localhost/alfresco:8080, AJP port 8011)
- installed Apache (localhost) with mod_jk
http.conf:
- created chaining-authentication-context.xml and used the code from your wiki-site
Anything I forgot or could have done wrong?
Kind regards and thank you very much in advance.

Hello Alaaeldin,
AWPr looks really great, thank you for contributing it to the community! I managed to get the AWPr My Spaces Web script working, but unfortunately Alfresco (3.2 CE) creates for every user an account instead of assigning the matching Alfresco-User. Liferay (5.2.3) and Alfresco do have the exact same users in it, same e-mail-addresses, Liferay screennames matches Alfresco's user names and Home Space names, what am I doing wrong?
I already checked my alfresco.war using alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar list, modules "AWPrExampleWebScripts" and "SecureTokenAuthenticationRivet" are installed and I used the chaining-authentication-context.xml from your wiki-page.
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you in advance.
Hi,
Thanks for the kind words. We haven't had a chance to test AWPr with Alfresco 3.2 yet. But I think it should work unless Alfresco's chaining authentication XML changed since Alfresco version 3.1.
I'll update this thread when we get around to trying it out.
Cheers,

No error message at all, Alfresco just creates for every Liferay-user accessing the My Spaces Web script an account within Alfresco instead of matching the Liferay-user to the appropriate account within Alfresco. With this automatic created user My Spaces Web script works fine, creating spaces, uploading files, browsing the spaces, everything works… but this account of course doesn't have the intended userrights, the Liferay-user should have because of matching him with his Alfresco-account.
Turning Alfresco's automatic user creation off, My Spaces Web script shows an Alfresco-loginscreen. So it must be something with authentication, but I have no clue what it could be. Do you have any idea?
Kind regards and have a nice weekend.

Hi Alaaeldin
. Liferay's login was set to username and I created within Alfresco all users with this username. For testing I now changed to e-mail address as Liferay's login and created a new user within Alfresco using this e-mail address as user name - same behavior, Alfresco creates an own Alfresco user. But I figured out, no matter what login (screenname or e-mail address) I use in Liferay, Alfresco takes the Liferay User-ID to create the new account within Alfresco. If I create the Alfresco user with this Liferay User-ID as user name, everything works fine. But of course, this five digit number is not what I want to be the user name in Alfresco, e-mail address or Liferay username (depending on what Liferay's login is set) would be better. And that's what I'm not able to achieve. I hope it's not to confusing what I'm writing.
Thanks again and kind regards.
So either create the user in Alfresco ahead of time or Alfresco will create it for you. Since you're using Liferay you must be careful since Liferay allows you to login using userid, e-mail, or screenname. Whatever the username is that you type in Liferay's login is has to be the username in Alfresco. So if you login to Liferay with an e-mail address then the username of the user in Alfresco must also be the e-mail address.That's exactly what I did
