slide questions ????

[john bryant <br...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am new to slide content management framework. Here is what i want for web
based file manager i want for my application:

I want a directory let say "home" containing all the users directory.
let say there are user1 and user2. I want user1 and user2 can access a
folder home/user1 and home/user2 through webdav.
I am not sure how authentication is done in slide but I want security to be
integrated with tomcat security. For example, i want tomcat to access user
name and password from database ( i configured that for simple tomcat
server). but i am not how to integrate tomcat security with slide content
management
framework.Slide bundle comes with enabled slide realm. I want to disable
slide realm and
enable tomcat realm. I am not clear from documentation, how to enable tomcat
realm.
Secondly, while playing with slide, one issue i had was that from
Linux/Unix command if i create a file/ directory, corresponding meta data
file is NOT created ( which is required for file to be visible through
webdav client, specifically I am talking of configuring "My network
places" in windows). In other words,
shell>> touch hello
# there is no metadata file is created for this file.
when i go ( in windows) to "My network places" and see my configured
network I am not able to see hello file ( reason - there is no metadata).
This is my understanding of slide content management framework.
is there any way I can prevent generation of metadata ? Your pointers will
definitely help me
to proceed in right direction.
please help me.

-john

Hi,

I am using slide bundle with tomcat but security is currently verified using
domain.xml ( A user only in tomcat is not able to authenticate) where as
user specified in Domain.xml file of slide is able to authenticate. I am not
sure how to integrate tomcat security with it.

Thanks David. See, I feel documentation of slide very inadequate. can you
please tell me specifacally which file you are suggesting me to modify. For
example, i read following page of wikipedia....no mention about where to set
the settings ?
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-slide/Security

In the ACL (Access Control List) of the node "/home", you can add the 
following rule.
{ object="/home", subject="owner", action="all", inheritable=true, 
negative=false }

Then for each collection under /home, add the property */owner/* 
(namespace /"DAV:"/) with the username as value.

Maybe check the Tomcat documentation ...
Tomcat do the authentification and give to slide a user name (a 
Principal), and Slide trust it. In this cas it is also tomcat which says 
to slide which role the user have.

What do you use as Store ? File Content store ? The store files can not 
be updated from outside slide. If you want to create a file in the 
repository you need to create it in webdav.
If you want to be able to use linux shell command like touch, take a 
look at davfs ( http://dav.sourceforge.net/ )
