RE: Problem getting Slide working - Thanks, was a security proble m

[Anton Schoultz <AS...@RUBICO.COM>]

Peter,

It was a security problem; I created the slide.properties as you 
suggested and bingo, now DAVExplorer shows the users, history etc.
(I have enabled versioning as per an earlier email).
MS Explorer is still in the dark though. In my earlier experiments
with a pseudo server (displays request info) I found MS Explorer
asks for options, then puts in a request for an .exe - I'll try get
the details and post them if you like.

Thanks for the help. Now *ALL* we have to do is add in the lucene
text search, xindice xpath quires and we're done ! :) 5 minutes? :-)

I still have heaps to learn about slide as we would like to assist
with the text search (lucene) and xpath search integration into slide.

Kindest regards

Hi Anton,

I tried to reproduce what you described. When I try to PUT a file to
http://localhost:8080/slide/files/a.xml, I get a security exception in the
server console: 
08 May 2002 11:16:57 - org.apache.slide.common.Domain - WARNING - Access
denied on /files by user /users/guest for action /actions/write
org.apache.slide.security.AccessDeniedException: Access denied on /files by
user /users/guest for action /actions/write

For test purposes, I usually switch-off security in Slide. You can do that
easily, e.g. by creating a new file "slide.properties" in the directory:
jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3\webapps\slide\WEB-INF\classes. The file should contain
the following line:
org.apache.slide.security=false

Another way would be to manipulate the "permission" elements in the
Domain.xml file. For example, you can giving everybody all rights by means
of:
<permission action="/actions" subject="/users" />

Now, I have no problems in accessing the server using Altova's XML Spy or
the DAV Explorer.

Unfortunately, I am having problems when using Microsoft WebFolders with
Tomcat 4. We will need some investigatation here. I will let you know when
we find out what the problem is.

Regards, Peter
