CMIS

This module adds a configuration screen where administrators record the connection details of an external document management server that speaks CMIS. It is a building block: it does not move documents by itself, but other modules can use these settings to read from and write to that server.

Where it appears in Odoo: - A new "CMIS" menu under Settings, with a "Backends" entry listing the configured connections. - A form to create or edit a connection, with two sections: "Cmis Configuration" (name, server address, username, password) and "Directory Configuration" (initial directory for writing).

Business rules and automatic behaviours: - Each connection must have a unique name; duplicates are refused. - Name, server address, username, password and initial directory are mandatory; the directory defaults to the root "/". - Username and password are only visible to system administrators. - A "Test Directory" button checks that Odoo can actually write into the configured folder by creating a small test file; it reports an error if the path is wrong, if access rights are missing, or if a test file already exists there. - Regular users can only view the connections; only administrators can create, change or delete them.

It relies on an external Python library (cmislib) that must be installed on the server. A demo connection to a local Alfresco server is provided for testing.
