In my previous blog, I described the process to install a Kerberos Client and how to Kerberized Alfresco. In this blog, I will continue in the same way and present another application that could be configured to use the Kerberos MIT KDC: Liferay. Liferay is a very popular and a leader in Open Source solution for enterprise web platform (Intranet/Extranet/Internet web sites). Liferay could be bundled with several application servers like Tomcat, JBoss, Glassfish, but…
In the previous blog, I described How to install and manage a Kerberos Server but that’s useless if there are no clients and if no application have been kerberized! That’s why in this blog I will explain in the first part how to install a kerberos client in linux. The second part will be dedicated to the configuration of a browser to use Kerberos tickets and the last part will explain how to configure a…

I advise you to read the first part if you have not read it yet since it is a prerequisite for the proper functioning of the action: Developping an archive action for Alfresco Share (1 of 2). The purpose of this part is to extend the user interface with the creation of an…
A few weeks ago when I was working on setting up an Alfresco Community Edition v4.2.c, I came across a problem that took me quite some time. What I will talk about today is the customization of the actions provided by the interface of Alfresco Share. This action was tested on all sub-versions of Alfresco Community Edition 4.2 (a, b, c and d). Unfortunately, Alfresco Share does not provide function to archive content. To meet…
