RE: Two basic problems (newbie) plus Qs

[Alfie Kirkpatrick <Al...@ioko.com>]

I've tested this on Win2k/IE5.5 and it appears to work ok, so maybe this
is an XP/IE6 problem. I'm patched with the latest security updates as
well, so that could be a factor. Has anyone else successfully used Slide
on XP/IE6...? I've also been having fundamental trouble with jcifs and
I'm starting to think it might be my OS config! Any pointers
appreciated.

Regards, Alfie.

[Apologies for the long post]

I've been trying to get slide working (both the 2.0.1 CVS snapshot and
last 1.x release). 

The problems occur when setting up a new network place within XP
(following the howto). I'm running XP Pro and IE6 with all security
patches.

In the first instance I'm running slide within the bundled Tomcat. I've
uncommented the password for root and can login via the browser and view
files, etc. However, when I try to connect using the network place
wizard, it doesn't take the username/password and I'm seeing the
following in the logs:

     2004-02-11 15:03:41 Slide realm[]: User null doesn't have his
password property set : can't authenticate

In the second instance, I've dropped slide.war into a standalone Tomcat
instance. I haven't done any other configuration -- I'm not interested
in authentication at this point. This time the network place wizard
complains with:

      The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose
another.

I've included the network trace of the conversation(s) for both cases
below.

I'm confused about these problems because I trawled the list archive and
can't see anyone else with such basic troubles!

Now for the general questions:
- I don't want to maintain a list of users. I will authenticate requests
against AD using jcifs. I could just allow guest write access to
everything but I'd rather know who made edits. Is there a simple way to
achieve this?
- Am I right in thinking I can subclass the servlet and very simply add
some extra processing when files are posted to the store?

Any help much appreciated,
Alfie.
