Liferay 6.0.6 & Alfresco/Share SSO

[Trev Thorpe, modifié il y a 11 années.]

Good Afternoon,

I have CAS server 3.5.0 running, authenticating against ldap fine.
I also have Liferay 6.0.6, using my cas server, and authenticating fine.

They are on two different Ubuntu servers.
Running Tomcat 7 on all of these.

I am trying to now accomplish, adding Alfresco/Share into my Liferay and utilizing the SSO so my users do not have to authenticate again while within Liferay and going to an Alfresco portlet.

Currently Alfresco 4.2 is on another Ubuntu server, however I could move that over to the Liferay server if need be without much of a hassle.

Trying to get Alfresco 4.2 to work with CAS server for SSO has been, a nightmare thus far, to say the least.

Can I integrate Alfresco/Share on the same Liferay server and somehow eliminate the need to authenticate a second time ?

Thanks !

I work for Alfresco and was pointed at your post by a friend.

There are a lot of different ways to integrate Alfresco and Liferay. Based on the question, I think you just want SSO between the separate systems. Other options are to serve Alfresco content in Liferay (most easily done with the Liferay CMIS portlet), expose Alfresco's Document Library inside of Liferay (most easily done with the Alfresco DocLib portlet), or embed Liferay inside of the Alfresco Share UI (most easily done with the Share web dashlet).

I have seen partners configure CAS SSO with Alfresco and Liferay so that you only have to log in once. Unfortunately, I don't know all of the details. Since you already have the Liferay pieces working, I'll point you at the documentation for the Alfresco side of the process. There are two general steps:

* Get Alfresco authenticating against the same LDAP database as Liferay:

http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/concepts/auth-ldap-intro.html

* Configure the "external authentication" subsystem for Alfresco

http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/concepts/auth-external-intro.html

http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/tasks/auth-alfrescoexternal-sso.html

The wiki contains a CAS specific example, but it may be a bit out of date:

* If you continue to have trouble, you can reach out to us at the Alfresco forums (http://forums.alfresco.com), or at #alfresco in Freenode IRC. There is a list of other Alfresco resources here:

Good luck,

Hello,

We are looking to do the same but with OpenAM SSO. Did you make it work with CAS and if yes which component did you use to make it work?

Thanks,
