Hello,

I've read pretty much everything I could find about CAS and Alfresco… and I got mod_auth_cas working with Explorer but it does not work with Share. I get the following error when I open https://myserver/share:

 
org.springframework.extensions.surf.exception.PlatformRuntimeException: 05190012 Incorrectly configured endpoint ID: alfresco
   org.alfresco.web.site.servlet.SSOAuthenticationFilter.challengeOrPassThrough(SSOAuthenticationFilter.java:593)
   org.alfresco.web.site.servlet.SSOAuthenticationFilter.doFilter(SSOAuthenticationFilter.java:378)‍‍‍‍

I could not find anything about this error on the web. These are my settings:
share-config-custom.xml

alfresco-global.properties

Any ideas?

Okay, I've solved this problem! - it was due to me using the wrong class for alfrescoCookie (I've used the 3.2 config as you can see above).

Also, I had some spaces in my alfresco-global.properties at the end of the line, this seems to have made additional problems…
