[edit] Episode Guide
Episode 1
Date: April 25, 2008
Title: Can you hear me now?
Panel: David Caruana, Luis Sala, Scott Davis, Jared Ottley, Jean Barmash, Richard Im, Jeff Potts
Web Recording: http://alfresco.acrobat.com/p18701924/
Podcast Recording: No MP3 is currently available.
Show Notes:
Aside from a few minor audio issues, our first episode went quite well. We talk about the Barcelona Community Conference, the 3.0 roadmap, WCM, ADW, LDAP, and Backups.
Questions Addressed (in rough order):
- Is it possible to let users be created on the fly when using Kerberos Authentication? I am asking because I have more than 100000 accounts where only a few will be using Alfresco. Now when I enable LDAP sync it will sync all accounts (including creating home spaces for them). This takes a long time.
- With regards to WCM and deploying on a remote server, I believe the remote server needs an Alfresco instance running on it - does that instance need access to the same DB as the authoring Alfresco instance?
- Are web forms going to be available on the DM Side?
- How do you do archiving with Alfresco?
- How do you backup Alfresco without shutting it down? (Hot Backups)
- Is it possible to list the users in workflow without having to sync them?
- We are thinking of deploying Alfresco on a Virtual Server running Centos with 4GB of RAM, 250GB Oracle DB, and 1TB Filestore. Is 4GB adequate for that?
- Is there a way to run a script with "admin" authority? So we can move a document to the folder that the user running the script does not have access to?
