After my last post I thought I ought to write something about Single Sign On (SSO) – this post will cover a bit more than just SSO. I’ve done a lot of work with SSO but it’s one of those things you only visit periodically so it’s easy to forget things – also it’s harder […]

Simple Kibana monitoring (for Alfresco)
This post is inspired by https://github.com/miguel-rodriguez/alfresco-monitoring and there’s a lot of useful info in there. The aim of this post is to allow you to quickly get up and running and monitoring your logs. I’m using puppet to install, even though we don’t have a puppet master, as there are modules provided by Elastic Search […]
Upgrade time?
Inspired by conversations I had at the Alfresco BeeCon I’ve decided to put down some of my thoughts and experiences about going through the upgrade cycle. It can be a significant amount of work to do an upgrade, even if you have little or no customization, as you need to check that none of the […]
Aikau and CMIS
This is still a work in progress but now has a released version and, with a small amount of testing seems work, do please feel free to try it out and feedback either via the blog or as an issue on github. The post was originally published in order to help with jira 21647. Following […]
A dojo store for the cmis browser binding
First of all why am I doing this? Dojo is a popular javascript library which is used extensively and, of particular interest, is coming to more prominence within Alfresco. dojo.store is based on HTML5/W3C’s IndexedDB object store API and is useful because stores can be used to provide the data access methods for a wide […]
Alfresco as Extranet
In a couple of projects I’ve worked on we’ve been using Alfresco as an extranet – that’s to say we’ve given external people access to our Alfresco instance so that we can collaborate by sharing documents and using the other site functions like discussion lists and wikis. We’ve also had these Alfresco instances integrated into […]
Further adventures with CAS and Alfresco (and LDAP)
Like Alfresco in the cloud and myriad other systems we’ve decided to use the email address as the user name for logging in. This works fine until you want to allow the user to be able to change their email. The problem here is that Alfresco doesn’t support changing user names (I believe that it […]
Adding files to your amp
When you’re writing an Alfresco extension there’s a good chance that you’ll want to do some configuration or add some files along with your code. One option is to, via a documented process, add everything by hand but it’s neater and more reliable if you can do it as part of your amp. The trick […]
CAS for Alfresco 4.2 on Ubuntu
Lots of confusion around on this subject so I’m going to attempt to distill some wisdom into this post and tweak it for Ubuntu 2 good blogs Nick with mod_auth_cas and Martin with CAS client and the Alfresco docs I’m not going to talk about setting up CAS here as this post is complex enough […]
Using an Association to a data (contact) list
The aim of this post is to describe how to use associations in Alfresco to link to a data list. The use case I’m addressing here is to be able to associate a folder with people held in a contact list. The first thing to do is to create the association in the model. Here […]
