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 […]

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 […]

XForms (Orbeon), CAS and CMIS (Alfresco) – Part 1 – Authentication
I thought I’d write about my experience of using the Alfresco CMIS interface as a backend to a custom XForms application. There’s a natural fit here as the atom based syntax of CMIS fits very nicely with XForms however there are a few little wrinkles to work through. Authentication The first issue to decide on […]

CAS, Alfresco and WebDAV
Having successfully configured Alfresco (and Share) to authenticate using CAS – it’s documented here The next challenge is to try and work out how to get this authentication working with webdav Update: One way to do this this is to bypass CAS and authenticate against the underlying CAS datastore directly by adding a new authentication […]
