Building

mvn clean install

Getting Started

1. Download a Nuxeo server (the zip version).

2. Unzip it.

3. See Configuring Part.

4. Install nuxeo-shibboleth-invitation plugin from command line:

   Linux/Mac:

   • NUXEO_HOME/bin/nuxeoctl mp-init
   • NUXEO_HOME/bin/nuxeoctl mp-install nuxeo-shibboleth-invitation
   • NUXEO_HOME/bin/nuxeoctl start

   Windows:

   • NUXEO_HOME\bin\nuxeoctl.bat mp-init
   • NUXEO_HOME\bin\nuxeoctl.bat mp-install nuxeo-shibboleth-invitation
   • NUXEO_HOME\bin\nuxeoctl.bat start

5. From your browser, go to http://localhost:8080/nuxeo.

6. Follow Nuxeo Wizard by clicking Next buttons, re-start once completed.

7. Check Nuxeo correctly re-started http://localhost:8080/nuxeo.

   • Username: Administrator
   • Password: Administrator

You can now use the addon.

Note: Your machine needs internet access. If you have a proxy setting, skip the mp-init and mp-install steps at first. Just do nuxeoctl start and run the wizzard where you will be asked your proxy settings.
