Conditionally hiding header in Alfresco share

We can conditionally show or hide the headers in Share.
Share accepts the ftl expression and based on that it decides whether to show or hide the link.

{userdashboardpage}
{myhomeHersheys}
Alfresco.module.Sites
/people-finder
condition="user.properties['email']?ends_with('@patil.com')" >/repository

SSO to share

All the people feel that alfresco share is not easy.

Follow the below steps

1. From your web server set the REMOTE_USER
Make sure you are getting remoteuser by getting that value in the jsp

2, In the tomcat disable the tomcat authentication so that you will get
req.getRemoteUser()

tomcatauthentication="false">

3. No need to change the X-Alfresco-RemoteUSer
as it will check for remoteuser i it does not exist then only it will check for the X-Alfresco-Remote User

Setting REMOTE_USER

One way to do this is to put an apache front-end with a ajp1.3 connector with basic auth, i.e.:

a) create a /usr/local/apache2/conf/workers.properties file with:

-------------------------
worker.list=alexwk,jkstatus
worker.alexwk.host=127.0.0.1
worker.alexwk.port=8009
worker.alexwk.type=ajp13
worker.alexwk.lbfactor=100
-------------------------

b) in apache httpd.conf:

-------------------------
JkworkersFile "/usr/local/apache2/conf/workers.properties"

ServerName alfjk2.foo
JkLogFile "/usr/local/apache2/logs/mod_jk_2.log"
JkMount /alfresco alexwk
JkMount /alfresco/* alexwk
JkMount /share alexwk
JkMount /share/* alexwk
JkLogLevel info

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Test Basic Auth"
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache2/passtest.txt
Require valid-user


-------------------------



4) In tomcat server.xml, define an ajp13 connector turning off tomcat authentication:



5) generate a password file with admin/admin:
/usr/local/apache2/bin/htpasswd -c /usr/local/apache2/passtest.txt admin

6) check the cgi variable setup putting in a new file
'tomcat/webapps/alfresco/test.jsp':

-------------------------
getRemoteUser() is set to:
<% out.print (request.getRemoteUser()); %>
-------------------------
and go to:

http://alfjk2.foo/alfresco/test.jsp

You should see the name of the HTTP user.

Updataing the jar file with the existing class

update="true" duplicate="preserve" >





Here we need to put duplicate="preserve" so that only one file will be considered.
