Respository: Default directory to user home instead of company home?

Hello,

By default, cmis module used a generic username to connect to a CMIS repository.
We'll address this functionality in our feature releases.

Moving this to under cmis project, since cmis_alfresco is deprecated.

Thank you,

Hi,

Could you provide some info when it would be possible to log in to alfresco with the same user name as used in drupal?

Hello martijn.van.luyn,,

This is possible right now. But this requires some more work, depending on how your setup looks like.
Can you please give some details on how your auth backend looks like(ldap, or some Single Sign On implementation, etc) ?

Thank you,
Catalin Balan

Hi Catalin,

At this moment the idea is that we use the user db from Drupal. I would like to use that db also for alfresco. The thought is when I for example login under my name, I directly see my home directory in alfresco. Later on it could be that we use through Ldap the active directory of our windows domain (it that is possible)

Regards,

Martijn

Not being an Alfresco expert, I would though think that it will be a lot easier (and much more "sustainable" in the mid/long-run) to setup Alfresco and Drupal to use a shared LDAP/AD as the authentication backend. With drupal's ldap_integration project (http://drupal.org/project/ldap_integration) you should be up and running in no time; AFAIK Alfresco's LDAP/AD integration is also quite easy to setup (and a *lot* of people use it).

Hello,

Just reading this thread, I have my Alfresco server and my Drupal installation both authenticating against the same Domino LDAP directory. I am using the 'ldap_integration' module mentioned above for Drupal authentication.

If I have read this thread correctly, is it possible for me to do something where by the user logs in to Drupal using LDAP authentication and is able to browse the Alfresco repository too (so not using the generic account)?

Closing issue as part of Drupal 6 support announcement https://drupal.org/node/1910638

This question actually applies to any version.

I'm just now starting with alfresco/cmis drupal integration and am trying to figure out how to get this setup properly with ldap for both. I'm trying to create a common doc lib available through drupal, but with edits tracked to the user making them, not the generic account.

This thread seems to indicate it's possible via a common ldap sso, but there's no mention of how.

I've been floundering around for days, watching any video I can find and reading all and any docs, but am getting no where.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. If I can get it working, I'm happy to contribute a doc page on how to do it.

I've got ldap working both on the drupal side and the aflresco side. Now I just need to know how to have the module do that rather than use the credentials from settings.php.
