Hi,

I was looking for a solution to use the same users in Drupal and Alfresco.
LDAP seems a good approach but when you use the CMIS module for Alfresco integration, you need to provide a default user who is the user that connects from Drupal to Alfresco.
Is there any way to override this and connect to Alfresco using Drupal logged in user to use Alfresco file/directory permissions?

Cheers!
Pedro.

I would also like to find out if what you have described is possible. When you find out how that could be done, please let me know as well.

Use Alfresco external-auth

Configure Alfresco to use external-authentication. This tells Alfresco to trust that the username given by the external-auth provider is already authenticated.

http://docs.alfresco.com/community/concepts/auth-basics.html

Beware that Alfresco will be wide open to anyone that is able to bypass the external auth provider, so you need to take precautions.
