Hi, I just noticed Alfresco Cloud is now available. They don't appear to have released an api for the public cloud. This will no doubt give Moodlers another option for the Alfresco repository.
Might this involve Moodle-side development -> to create a new repo plugin that hooks into alfresco public cloud api or will it simply be a case of entering the new api url for a new instance with the existing alfreso repo plugin for moodle?

Hey Chad,
I'm James Fletcher, Product Marketing Manager for Cloud at Alfresco. I saw your post and thought I would update you guys.
The vision here at Alfresco is you shouldn't need to re-develop just because it's the cloud so we'll have one API which works for both so your exisiting configurations will work, it'll be a case of pointing it in the right direction.
The API is due to hit around early fall, and mobile APIs will follow. Meaning you could integrate and develop with every part of the repository
Hope that helps, James.
Great news, James. Thanks for the heads up. Chad
Looks as though Alfresco have released their public cloud api. You can signup for a developer account at https://developer.alfresco.com
Moodle has a repository plugin for alfresco. I've activated the alfresco repo plugin but don't know what the alfresco api url should be? See attached. Also, I created an alfresco developer account, but there's no place to put the API key on the moodle site.
Has anyone been able to successfully integrate their public cloud alfresco site with moodle? If so, steps or documentation please. In not referring to on-premise alfresco.
Hi All,
is there any plan to introduce, in the Moodle core and/or in the Andresco version, the full support of SSO when running both Moodle and Alfresco under CAS? I mean an improvement of repository_a[lf|nd]resco::print_login() to allow Alfresco tokens being created on behalf of a super user, trusting the CAS username without prompting the (Moodle) user for her/his credentials.
It requires an improvement in the Alfresco PHP API - e.g. Alfresco_Repository::authenticateOnBehalfOf() - and probably (I'm not familiar with Alfresco APIs) in Web Services too - e.g. a new AuthorizationService::createSessionOnBehalfOf(usernameToBeImpersonated, username, password).
TIA,
Matteo
Hi Michael,
cool! Thanks for the update and... sorry Community for the thread hijacking (Cloud and CAS are not the same thing ).
