Hi, I guess SSO is outside the CMIS context, what we have done is validate the
TOKEN that gets generated by SSO in CMIS to validate if the login is valid or
not. And for this to work with OpenCMIS server, you could just add a Filter for
that.
Cheers,

Hi Florian,
Thanks for the detail. I think there is no problem for extract the data
in the CallContextHandler. The question is where we do the authentication in
OpenCMIS Server Framework, is the getService() in service factory a good place
to do the customized authentication?
Thanks

Hi Wentao,
build a servlet filter in front of the OpenCMIS bridge that handles the
authentication. You should be able to trigger the authentication
mechanisms of the application server there, if you need that.
In that filter, stick all data about the user you need in the bridge
into request attributes. Now you are free to use that data in the
CallContextHandler, the service factory, or in each call.
The OpenCMIS server framework only supports basic auth and there is
nothing else planned.
