Users,Passwords,Groups and ACLs

["Thamm, Russell" <ru...@dsto.defence.gov.au>]

Hi,

Is there any usable client (preferrably a gui client) for performing management functions on slide
  - handling users,passwords, groups etc
  - setting up ACLs

Without such a client, slide is like an automobile with no steering wheel. 

Didn't slide once have a management servlet? 

Does anyone know the correct syntax for specifying properties (not in the DAV: namespace) in the commandline
client?

>From looking at the source code <property xmlns="namespace"> seems to be the syntax.
propget accepts this syntax but propput chokes on it. So I can't even set passwords
with the commandline client.

I managed to set passwords with SkunkDav, but assigning users to groups seems totally
beyond SkunkDav and the commandline client (neither can even display the group-member-set properly).

I have some proposals for additions and corrections to the Slide Documentation :-).
Is anyone interested?

cheers
Russell Thamm

Hi Russell

I had this same question, couldnt find an answer so decided to take it on 
my self to develop such a thing. I am currently in the middle of it but am 
certainly willing to share it with anyone in the community and commit it 
if its deemed useful good enough. I am also trying to keep it as seperate 
 from my application as possible to enable it to be used by others, but 
some work (help) may be required. As soon as it's fit to show anyone else 
I will let you know.

PS thanks to Andrey for his help on this also, it was his code that 
sparked me off in this direction

There is a administrator application for Slide in Cocoon that does quite 
a lot of that. It manages users, roles, permissions, locks, properties 
and content. Off course you'd have to install Cocoon but you should have 
done that already anyway ;-)
