Alfresco Document Transformation Engine

Configure the Document Transformation Engine

The standalone Document Transformation Engine can be configured using the Web Console. You only need to change the password of the transformation service.

  1. Open your browser and navigate to http://<transformation-host>:<port>/transformation-server/#/settings or https:// if you are using SSL.

  2. Enter your login name and a password.

    By default, the login name is set to alfresco, and the password is set to alfresco. The login name alfresco cannot be changed.

  3. Enter a new password, and then click Change to save the password.

Configure DTE with SSL

Below is a very basic example of how to configure Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for DTE. It forms a good starting point for customers with experience and competencies in DevOps.

  1. Edit C:\Program Files (x86)\TransformationServer\tomcat\conf\server.xml:

    For example:

    1. Comment out this connector:

      <Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool" port="${https.port}" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol" SSLEnabled="true"> <SSLHostConfig> <Certificate certificateKeystoreFile="conf/.keystore" certificateKeystorePassword="tomcat" type="RSA" /> </SSLHostConfig> </Connector>
    2. Uncomment this Connector:

      <Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool" port="${https.port}" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol" SSLEnabled="true" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" keystoreFile="PATH_TO_KEYSTORE" keystorePass="KEYSTORE_PASSWORD" />
  2. Check the REST configuration URL under: https://<dte-hostname>:8443/transformation-server/#/settings:

    This should be set to: https://<dte-hostname>:8443.

  3. Edit alfresco-global.properties:

    Change localTransform.transform-dte.url=http://<dte-hostname>:8080/transform-dte

    to localTransform.transform-dte.url=https://<dte-hostname>:8443/transform-dte
