Hi,I want to test the external authentication in Alfresco Share 4.0.d with the mod_auth_cas but it doesn't work.My installation works with a Alfresco Share 3.4.4.I kept my installation of Apache and mod_auth_cas. I just reinstalled the Alfresco in 4.0.d.In alfresco-global.properties, I added the properties :authentication.chain=external1:external,ldap1:ldap
# Authentification CAS
external.authentication.proxyUserName=
external.authentication.proxyHeader=x-alfresco-remote-user
external.authentication.enabled=true
external.authentication.userIdPattern=
And I uncommented in shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml : <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Remote">
<remote>
<connector>
<id>alfrescoCookie</id>
<name>Alfresco Connector</name>
<description>Connects to an Alfresco instance using cookie-based authentication</description>
<class>org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.connector.AlfrescoConnector</class>
</connector>
<endpoint>
<id>alfresco</id>
<name>Alfresco - user access</name>
<description>Access to Alfresco Repository WebScripts that require user authentication</description>
<connector-id>alfrescoCookie</connector-id>
<endpoint-url>http://localhost:9080/alfresco/wcs</endpoint-url>
<identity>user</identity>
<external-auth>true</external-auth>
</endpoint>
</remote>
</config>
The external authentication works in Alfresco but doesn't work in Share.Logs in alfresco.log when I want to connect in Share :INFO: Server startup in 53657 ms

The webscript used for external authentication in 4.0.d have completely changed from the 3.4.4.So, I'm wondering if the external authentication in Share is available for this release.Does anyone know how to set up external authentication in Share 4.0.d?Thanks for any help.William
