Tahir Malik commented on CMIS-887:
----------------------------------
Great thanks Sasha & Florian for the info.
I'll take a look at it, but I think there is still ways to improve it. I'm not
sure how, but this seems like something which every integration between systems
has.
So I in this case have a custom external service to authenticate, Sasha has
extended the TokenCallContextHandler and you're suggesting to extend the
Standard authentication provider.
And hence we probably get back that the CMIS spec needs to be changed :D. I'll
file something at OASIS so this gets some attention.
> RunAs Authentication possiblity
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: CMIS-887
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CMIS-887
> Project: Chemistry
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: opencmis-client, opencmis-server
> Affects Versions: OpenCMIS 0.12.0
> Environment: Alfresco 4.2
> Reporter: Tahir Malik
>
> There is no possibility to define a RunAs user through CMIS.
> At the moment we have a custom webscript in Alfresco which logs in as the
> RunAs user and returns the ticket.
> Then we use the ticket in the password field and do our stuff.
> It would be nice to extent the Authentication mechanism to supply extra
> parameters and control them server side so this is not needed.
> If this is already possible, then I didn't knew that and I'd love to have
> some info how to do that.
