Hi Liferayers! We'd like to share with you that we have created non-official, public Docker images from our master branch! And we are releasing them every day.

A quick note for those using SiteMinder and Liferay... Liferay likes the Tilde (~) character, and uses it quite often for friendly URLs and other reasons. When fronting with SiteMinder, though, you may run into return code 500 for URLs with the tilde character in them. This is actually a default SiteMinder configuration thing, SiteMinder treats tilde (and others) as "bad...

For this segment, we'll start with the following question: why would you have wanted to build from source in the first place?

I recently responded to the thread in the forums where the poster was asking about Liferay 7 and it's compatibility with OSGI. I am a huge JRebel fan myself and, based on what I know of JRebel and how it works, couldn't think of a reason why it wouldn't work -- but, I hadn't yet tried it out. I started doing some research as well as having a chat with the infamous David Nebinger about...

When I read Eduardo's blog post I had a couple of thoughts.  I've...

You can read it here. In discussion with other technical resources and through further testing, it is, in fact, possible to create the files without the need for a hash. Instead of the hash...

There are a great number of changes in Liferay 7.0/DXP, and one of them is how LDAP settings are managed when dealing with configuration files. In 6.2 and earlier, one could simply copy all the relevant settings into portal-ext.properties and have that load on startup. However, in 7.0, the old LDAP settings are no longer present in portal.properties, and the old way doesn't work. So...
