I'm using the CMIS connector in Appian 7.8 to work with an Alfresco repository (Community Edition 5.0, which I have installed myself, vanilla install).

In Appian I have set up 3rd-party credentials correctly (I'm using the Alfresco admin account), obtained the repository ID and I am able to start using the Appian connector functions. I am creating a rudimentary CMIS browser in SAIL using the a!cmiGetFolderChildren function. This is where I am starting to run into issues.

So I can connect to the Alfresco repository root folder and the above function returns all of the Alfresco root folders--if you know Alfresco this is a series of standard system folders (Guest Home, User Home, ...Sites etc).

2) Not only am I using the admin account but I also opened up permissions on these folders so that everyone is a "Manager".
3) If I use the Appian a!cmiGetObjectIdByPath to get the ID, followed by the a!cmiGetProperties I am able to get back everything I need (for example from /Sites/MySite/DocumentLibrary/TestFolder) so again this doesn't seem to be a problem with permissions.
4) On these empty returns from a!cmiGetFolderChildren there is no err...
