Integration between Alfresco and Liferay to use Alfresco as a document library

I have the need to create a public interface that allows access and download of files available in Alfresco Share. I’ve been trying to do this using the existing integration between Alfresco and Liferay. I found three ways to integrate Alfresco and Liferay

  • Adding Alfresco as repository
    • necessary to configure so that the Liferay user is used in the Alfresco authentication
    • there must be users with equal username and passwords in both applications
  • Configure Alfresco to use Alfresco as a filesystem
    • the files are stored in Alfresco as binaries
    • the folder names are ids
    • cannot access the files via Lfresco
  • Set up Alfresco share as Liferay portlet
    • need to modify Alfresco’s Authentication chain
    • allows you to use 3 new portlets to integrate Alfresco share with Liferay
    • still needs an authenticated user

I still could not find a way that would suit me, because in two of these ways I need a logged-in user, and in the other the files are physically in the fresco, but are saved there in binary format, which makes it impossible for them to be manipulated there. Maybe something has slipped my mind, or there’s a better way to do it.

About using the same user

  • Create a web services that works with a standard user and password;
  • Create your user log on a separate basis (For Alfresco and Liferay will always be the same user only you will know that it is not, and will have this data stored elsewhere if there is a need to use them later).

Storage

  • Alfresco as a repository
