How to authenticate users in WebdavServlet?

[Jingmei Li <Ji...@bentley.com>]

We want to integrate our content management system(CMS) with Slide and we
need to check users credentials against our CMS before displaying the
directory structure. Did anyone have any experience with doing
authentication in WebdavServlet? We extend RealmBase and override
authenticate() method there but the problem is we need that login
information in WebdavServlet after authentication...

Can anyone help?

TIA.

The servlet can retrieve the principal with the 
request.getUserPrincipal() method. If you need to put specific data into 
that principal, you need to create your own principal impl, and have the 
realm return an instance of that impl.
