Sharepoint Protocol and NTLM authentication

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Did any one manage to provide single sign on authentication using NTLM  for the Alfresco Sharepoint Protocol (The Jetty 7070 webapp)?

Any suggestions how to enable this?

We are using Alfresco Enterprise 3.1 with Tomcat but if it is possible using JBoss we can change to JBoss.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Hi Bas,

I'm struggling with same issue - to the moment I have /alfresco and /share configured to use NTLM authentication, but trying to open http://localhost:7070/alfresco/site from MS office I'm getting prompt for basic authentication: user/pass transferred in plain text. Seems like jetty cannot get proper sso configuration. Here's a snip from my log file:

I guess "DEBUG [vti.web.VtiFilter] Session user is null. Authenticate user" is the first problem to be addressed.

I also have no idea what's the progress on that Jira issue: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ETHREEOH-2090
