Default Chapter 6 - Authentication and Security
Hi all,

let me first thank the Authors for their work on this very interesting book.

I have tried to follow the examples to set up the authentication chain in chapter 6 using Alfresco CE 3.3g on a linux (OpenSuse 11.2) server and get stuck with the passthru. I have detailed the issue on the Alfresco forums (http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewto...p=90599#p90599) but could sure do with some help from anyone with experience on the matter.

After successfully setting up the first 2 authentication systems (AlfrescoNtlm and ldap-ad), when setting the passthru, I get hit with the following eror in my Alfresco.log file:

Code:
ERROR [org.alfresco.fileserver] CIFS server configuration error, Cannot find class [org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.WebScriptNTLMAuthenticationFilter] for bean with name 'webscriptAuthenticationFilter' defined in file [/srv/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/subsystems/Authentication/passthru/ntlm-filter-context.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.WebScriptNTLMAuthenticationFilter

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately a regression crept into our HEAD code line that meant that the passthru subsystem got broken. Thankfully this was not an issue in the 3.3G community release or 3.3.1 enterprise release. The problem has now been fixed on HEAD and we have added unit tests to ensure this is not a problem in the future. See the alfresco forum for more information and a possible workaround.

Thanks

Thanks David, I just checked the forum and got the workaround. I still have a few issues though as detailed in the forum.

Regards

David
