#CAS

authentication.chain=cas:external

2. Copy service.xml to C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension

3. Copy commonValues.properties to C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\messages

Offline Support and Native Clients - OS and Mobile

According to Edwin Chung, “While Office Web Apps and Google Docs require you to store a copy on the server and edit documents in a browser, Liferay Sync allows users to leverage any desktop or mobile office package, such as MS Office, OpenOffice, iWork, or Photoshop, to edit and save documents locally while either online or offline.”. Therefore offline support is Powerful Document-Sharing Abilities feature on Liferay Sync. This is a key benefit for Liferay users in accessed their documents in offline, then the documents synchronize when users are back online.

Therefore, the user can access their documents and folders in Liferay's Documents and Media library from they own machine's file manager. For example, when the user create new image in folder by Documents and Media and uploaded it, then they can access the folder and also the image using a browser and Liferay's web interface by appropriate permissions from administrator. Therefore, the user needs to log in to the portal in credential and find WebDAV URL where the user likes to access.
