Steps

Alfresco setup:

1. Install Alfresco Community 5.1. Use defaults (e.g., port 8080, user credential defaults, etc).
2. Start Alfresco
3. Create an Alfresco user test / test and sign into Alfresco as that user.
4. Create an Alfresco site
5. In that site's Document Repository, upload a simple text file.

Liferay setup:

1. Create a portal-ext.properties file that specifies the following properties:
   1. session.store.password=true
   2. company.security.auth.type=screenName
2. Change the ports of tomcat/conf/server.xml so as to not conflict with the Alfresco server.
   1. Server: 8090
   2. Shutdown: 8006
   3. Redirect port: 8493
   4. AJP: 8019
3. Start Liferay

Adding a repo

1. In Documents and Media, click Add > Repository
2. Give an arbitrary name
3. For Repository Configuration, select CMIS Repository (Web Services), leave the Repository ID blank, and specify the following URLS:

• Web Services ACL Service: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisws/ACLService?wsdl
• Web Services Discovery Service: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisws/DiscoveryService?wsdl
• Web Services Multifiling Service: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisws/MultifilingService?wsdl
• Web Services Object Service: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisws/ObjectService?wsdl
• Web Services Navigation Service: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisws/NavigationService?wsdl
• Web Services Policy Service: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisws/PolicyService?wsdl
• Web Services Relationship Service: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisws/RelationshipService?wsdl
• Web Services Repository Service: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisws/RepositoryService?wsdl
• Web Services Versioning Service: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisws/VersioningService?wsdl

1. Click Save

Actual Result:
The following error messages appear in the UI ...

Your request failed to complete.
Please verify your repository configuration parameters.

There are no console messages.

Expected Result:
The repository would connect with Alfresco.

Note, configuration of a CMIS Repository (AtomPub) works for the same Alfresco server.
