Alfresco Share login problems using https

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.

Hello everyone,

I have installed alfresco-community-3.4.d under Ubuntu 10.4
There are local users and users, which are authenticated by an AD controller. LDAP is used to synchronize certain groups and users.

authentication.chain=alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm,passthru1:passthru,ldap1:ldap‍

CIFS, SMB and WebDAV are working.

Everything works fine as long as I use http.
When I switch to https and do a redirect from 8080 to 8443 (using a self-made certificate), only the login

https://alfi....:8443/alfresco is successfully.

Using

https://alfi....:8443/share

I receive the following message

The remote server may be unavailable or your authentication details have not been recognized

The following files were changed:
$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml

<Connector port="8080" URIEncoding="UTF-8" protocol="HTTP/1.1"

Hi langr,

Have you got solution for your problem?

I want to try alfresco with HTTPS. But when I login /share, it always got error message.
I got error message as you said above.

Thanks in advanced.
