Hi, First of all i want to thank you because following your steps and with a bit of additional steps i was able to put Alfresco + CAS working.
Everything looks to be working fine except by WebDAV. My users use alfresco's webdav a lot for upload documents and stuff there and i found that once that Alfresco is authenticating against CAS, webdav is not working anymore. Whereas a user tries to connect to it by entering: http://alfresco.mydomain.com/alfresco/webdav he/she receives a 302 error saying that the folder has been moved temporarily. It makes sense since i had configured mod_jk in apache2 according to the instructions shown in Alfresco's CAS wiki so that everytime it sees an URL formed by alfresco/<something> it should take that request and send it to the tomcat server behind. This is the line: JkMount /alfresco ajp13 JkMount /alfresco/* ajp13 Have you experienced some similar problems with your users? Is it there a way that webdav can authenticate against CAS?
