dotCMIS Authentication with Ticket

dotCMIS supports both Basic and NTLM authentication. I am currently using dotCMIS to connect to Alfresco using Basic Authentication.

I'd like to authenticate once with user/password for the sessions and then use Alfresco tickets, rather than pass user/password information for each request.

I think that Chemistry dotCMIS does not support authentication using tickets. What would be the best way to add this capability? Maybe with a custom authenticator? It would need to track, recover and get a new ticket reissued after a session timeout.

Solution

  • You have implement a new authentication provider for this. It shouldn't be difficult.

    But I would recommend using PortCMIS and the Browser binding instead of DotCMIS.
