Alfresco Login with google credentials - alfresco

Question

I want to login into Alfresco Dashboard with google credentials. I have seen a sample application below.
https://github.com/gdepourtales/share-oauth-sso
but it is not working for me.
I am using Alfresco 5.0 enterprise version.
I have downloaded the project and i have followed all the steps
I have build the project which was mentioned and deployed the jars.
I have added below snippet in web.xml file
<filter>
<description>Oauth Authentication Support</description>
<filter-name>OAuthAuthenticationFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>ch.gadp.alfresco.OAuthSSOAuthenticationFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>OAuthAuthenticationFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/page/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>OAuthAuthenticationFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/p/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
I have added the below configuration in share-config.custom.xml file
<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="OAuthFilter"> <!-- the condition must always be OAuthFilter -->
<repository>
<!-- The host of the Alfresco repository webapp -->
<host>localhost</host>
<!-- The port of the Alfresco repository webapp. Put 80 for standard HTTP-->
<port>8081</port>
<!-- The protocol to access the Alfresco repository -->
<protocol>http</protocol>
<!-- The API access URI. If you use standard Alfresco, this should not change -->
<api>/alfresco/service/api</api>
<!-- The admin user who is able to create new users -->
<admin>admin</admin>
<!-- The password of the admin user -->
<password>admin</password>
<!-- The unique password for all users authenticated with OAuth. Choose one very complicated :) -->
<user-password>gotpxdKFjA_uxzG5SdGu</user-password>
<!-- The domains for which incoming user should be restricted to. If blank, any valid email will be accepted -->
<user-domains>nxc.no</user-domains>
</repository>
<oauth-api>
<!-- The key of your API application -->
<key>my key</key>
<!-- The URI from which get the user profile informations -->
<uri>https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo</uri>
<!-- The secret of your API application -->
<secret>my secret</secret>
<!-- The scope(s) for getting data -->
<scope>https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email</scope>
<!-- This is a constant and my be different in future releases -->
<name>GoogleApi</name>
</oauth-api>
</config>
and i have started the server but I am not seeing any change.
How I can Know the process of user login to the dashboard.Because everything written in alfresco is a web-script how can i make a google user to login into Dashboard.
Any answer will help me a lot Thank you!.

Answer 1

You can extend the following project - https://github.com/FlexSolution/SocialLogin. It uses oauth2 to login Alfresco by using LinkedIn account
The video how it works is available on youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dpueBkL-Jo&index=5&list=PLjxSLwMQLhLifbIIC5qkVio8VoakzncXg

Answer 2

You'd want to use Google2Api these days. Also prompt setting is missing in your config.
<!-- This is a constant and my be different in future releases -->
<name>Google2Api</name>
<!-- Whether to re-prompt the user for consent -->
<prompt>auto</prompt>
