16062: ETHREEOH-2792: Support login via external SSO systems (such as CAS) in Alfresco Share
- In Alfresco, new "external" authentication subsystem maps user identity from HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser() or configured header
- In Share, the UserFactory also recognizes HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser() - no special filters required
- User ID propagated to Alfresco through X-Alfresco-Remote-User HTTP header
- This can be done securely via the use of an SSL client certificate that identifies the Share application to Alfresco as a special 'proxy' user
- New <keystore> section added to webscript-framework-config that allows specification of the keystore holding the client certificate and trusted CAs
- Support for SSL authentication and propagation of Cookies through redirects added to RemoteClient so that initial redirects through sign on pages are supported
- TODO: Wiki
