Liferay 7 and Alfresco Atom CMIS Repository integration with SSO

My Requirement is to integrate Liferay 7 with Alfresco 5.2, using the Documents and Media portlet through Atom pub URL.

I am able to connect the ALfresco repository when the user log's in into Liferay from the Liferay login screen.

But when the NTLM authentication is enable in Liferay then I am not able to connect to Alfresco.

I have set the property session.store.password=true in portal-ext.properties.

Thanks,

Solution

  • The integration using a session stored password. When the user is logging in the portal over the login portlet it stores the plain text password into the session and then uses this information to access the Alfresco server.

    You are skipping this step with NTLM. TO make the OOTB integration work you would need to populate the session with the required data but you can't do that as you don't have the plaintext password.

    What is your use case? A possible hack/solution will depend on it.
