Alf4.2 /api/./cmis atompub HTTPS reverse proxy

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.

Hi all,
I'm trying to use the chemistry opencmis library via atompub when the server is setup for SSL, but when using the library the app:collection keeps redirecting the URL to a non-secure version.

atompub xml snippet:

<app:collection href="http://..:80… ‍

Desired outcome is to use the https:// version expected.

I've tried the spring-webscripts-custom-config.xml approach, but that was apparently for the old CMIS server impl. Using the following API access layer for cmis:

https://<server>/alfresco/api/-default-/cmis/versions/1.0/atom‍

thanks for any assistance,
-D

By default, Alfresco will tell OpenCMIS to refer to itself in service documents based on the details of the inbound request. However, if you have a reverse proxy in place which is doing the SSL termination, that can mess things up

If you have a look in the full

repository.properties‍

near the end, you'll see a section for

# URL generation overrides‍

under <em>OpenCMIS</em>. Those are the properties you can set to tell Alfresco to tell OpenCMIS to call itself something else

The <a href="http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/tasks/configure-ssl-prod.html">Configuring SSL for a production environment</a> section of the Alfresco deployment guide covers what you normally need to set in your 

repository.properties‍

to get the write customised/overriden URLs written into the CMIS service descriptors
