Answer 1

Your AtomPubUrl looks suspicious. I can't tell if that's a placeholder you've added to mask the real URL or if that's the actual URL you are using. If it is the actual URL it looks like it is missing the path to the AtomPub service document. To tell if that's the case, you should be able to invoke the URL, log in, and get a bunch of XML back, which is the CMIS service descriptor. If instead you are getting a user-facing page full of HTML, you are using the wrong URL.

For example, in Alfresco, users log in to /share, but the AtomPub binding is at /alfresco/cmisatom.

Answer 2

Yes the AtomPubUrl was wrong.

For sharepoint its not enough to post the default sp url (http://mysharepoint) or the url to the cmis lib (http://mysharepoint/cmis) I need to point to the repository id, somehow the sp endpoint for CMIS is:

http://mysharepoint/_vti_bin/<myLib4CMIS>/<repID>?getRepositoryInfo

Somehow it was confusing, but its working :) dotCMIS is really nice.
