Jasypt: Encryption on Java

Jasypt is a java library which allows the developer to add basic encryption capabilities to his/her projects with minimum effort, and without the need of having deep knowledge on how cryptography works.

• High-security, standards-based encryption techniques, both for unidirectional and bidirectional encryption. Encrypt passwords, texts, numbers, binaries...
• Transparent integration with Hibernate.
• Suitable for integration into Spring-based applications and also transparently integrable with Spring Security.
• Integrated capabilities for encrypting the configuration of applications (i.e. datasources).
• Specific features for high-performance encryption in multi-processor/multi-core systems.
• Open API for use with any JCE provider.

How to enable full repository access on Alfresco Share

In a tomcat installation, edit tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml file.

Look for RepositoryLibrary condition:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="RepositoryLibrary" replace="true">
<!--
Whether the link to the Repository Library appears in the header component or not.
-->
<visible>false</visible>

<!--
Root nodeRef for top-level folder.
-->
<root-node>alfresco://company/home</root-node>

<!--
Whether the folder Tree component should enumerate child folders or not.
This is a relatively expensive operation, so should be set to "false" for Repositories with broad folder structures.
-->
<tree>
<evaluate-child-folders>false</evaluate-child-folders>
</tree>
</config>

And modify visibility to true:

<visible>true</visible>


This works on Alfresco Enterprise 3.2R and above.
