Share Without Invite?

johnelle

I am evaluating Alfresco for a team and I wanted them to try and use a share first hand. I cannot for the life of me get email configured. Tried with two different SMTP servers and no joy. I would like to at least have the folks join the share and I can email them manually. Don't see anyway to do that. I logged on their accounts and requested membership but saw nothing on the admin side to respond to. Of course if I try to do the invite from the owner account but that always fails with an auth problem (near as I can tell reading the log).

Any way to put together a share without email?

Any suggestions on how to debug mail connection issues? I use these SMTP servers with ssmtp, etc. so I know something is different here.

Log into /alfresco (Alfresco Explorer client) and you can create users via the Administrator Console (one of the icons on the top) -> Manage Systems Users. Once you've manually created the users you can search for and invite them from within Alfresco Share.

Yes you can create the users but the invite system requires email near as I can tell. So to be more precise I manually created the users, sent the invites (which failed because of mail configuration), logged on to their accounts. There is no indication that they are in a share that they have been "invited" to. When logged in as the user if you issue a "request to join" the share I don't see anything on the admin side either.

It looks to me (a new user/installer) as though the workflow requires a working email connection or you basically can't do anything. Seems strange that you couldn't do this manually since that wouldn't be an unusual use case in an enterprise(?)

Maybe I should try private instead of moderated?
