Known limitations

[IljaN]

As of Sept, 11th

General:

• Alias not working. Tech proposal in Document occ command set in docs repro #37
• Logging not yet done.
• Setup:
  • overwrite.cli.url config key properly setup in both server
  • Valid https certificates in both servers, known by both server, or sharing.federation.allowHttpFallback config key set to true if access via http.

Shares:

• State of the shares not kept. Shares will be always auto-accepted during import regardless of the auto-accept checkbox
• Share import currently requires remote shares working between both servers, otherwise the import process will crash halfway through.
• Configuration requirements include (expect crashes otherwise):
  • share API enabled in both servers (we might skip the share import / export if the share API isn't enabled in order to remove this restriction)
  • remote sharing enabled, both for incomming and outgoing shares, in both servers.
  • links need to be allowed if there are link shares to be imported.
    • this also includes "allow public uploads" if there are such shares
    • enforce password protection disabled in order to import share links without password if there are such shares
  • allow sharing with groups if there are group shares
  • group sharing restrictions (only share within their groups, or with groups the users are member of) need to be respected.
• Share initiator lost during the import. Currently using the owner as initiator always. (The initiator needs to exists during the import, which is something we can't ensure)
• Group shares require the group to be present, otherwise it will be ignored without warning
• Password protected links won't have their password properly imported. Users will need to reset the password. (waiting for 10.0.10)
• Remote shares (from an external server) targeting the user who is going to be exported will be lost.

Files:

• import / export of files with external storages isn't tested yet.

• Big files: currently loading the whole file into memory. Export/Import Versions #39 should fix that
