Support for NTLM (IWA) when using WebDAV

dvanzo

Hello,
We do not currently integrate NTLM protocol accounting in GoFAST. Our other customers, who use MoutainDuck, use the webDAV protocol to connect to their GoFAST server. Could you tell us why you specifically want to use the Integrated Windows Authentication to connect to Documenta?

In the meantime, I've just created a jira under the reference GOFAST-12964 so that this functionality can be implemented in a future version of GoFAST.

I thank you in advance for your feedback and wish you a very good day,
Best regards,
Damien VANZO

Hi @dvanzo,

We were looking at that option as we do not want to ask end-users for their credentials but use SSO.

How are your other customers achieving this using Basic authentication?

Thanks!

@bmartins-EUDA : the problem with this solution is that it will work only for Windows and not Mac (nor Linux), i am correct ? Should we better ask the software vendor MountainDuck to implement SAMLv2 ?

Hello @bmartins-EUDA, thank you for your feedback.
Our other customers who use Mountain Duck do not use this type of mechanism to connect to the GoFAST server using basic authentication. Instead, they usually enter their credentials directly into the connection profile used to join the server using the webDAV protocol.

Below is an example of the profile used to connect.

Looking forward to hearing from you, I've also just submitted a new ticket to MountainDuck support asking them to implement the SAMLv2 protocol.

I wish you all a very good day,
Best Regards,

Hello,

We have opened a ticket to Mountain Duck support to ask them for support for the SAMLv2 protocol.
The ticket is currently being processed by them. I'll let you know when we have more information.

In the meantime, I wish you a very good day,

Hi @dvanzo,

May I know more about or check the ticket status?

Thanks!

Hello @bmartins-EUDA, thank you for your feedback.
We have finally decided to test the integration of the NTML protocol with Alfresco starting with GoFAST version 4.5.0. The aim of this implementation will be to enable any webdav client (as is the case with MountainDuck) to be able to connect to GoFAST's webdav share using the NTML protocol in a way that is transparent to the end user.

We'll keep you informed when this implementation is up and running, and let you know how to connect using MountainDuck.

In the meantime, I wish you a very good end of day,
Best regards,
