RE: patch for auto-create-users
When I first looked at slide I assumed it would use servlet container security (I wasn't familiar with the webdav spec). Clearly it can't use j2ee security and conform to the webdav spec. The ideal solution for me would be to have slide authenticate using LDAP and the servlet container use slide for authentication. I'm using Weblogic 8.1 and it is already configured to use LDAP for security so the route of least resistence to get authentication working is to automatically add users authenticated by the serlet container. Unfortunately - like Daniel says - this means the slide user database is out of sync with the LDAP database. To get the LDAP users and roles into slide wouldn't it be slightly more complicated than just writing a store for LDAP (even tough it sounds like this is pretty complicated). I would only want to use the LDAP store for the users and roles directories not the rest of the directories. I would have thought I would need a proxy store that would use the correct underlying store for different directories - LDAP for users and roles and JDBC for the rest, in my case. Another approach might be to import LDAP users and roles into slide and listen for updates on LDAP to keep the two in sync. Could you not make a store read-only by simply making sure no user had any write permissions? -Original Message- From: Martin Holz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 April 2004 13:49 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: patch for auto-create-users Daniel Florey [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, I'd propose to add the methods regarding the user/role stuff to the Security-Interface and the SecurityImpl-class.

Re: Controlling Slide cache, was Re: patch for auto-create-users
ExtendedStore allows you to invalidate entries. Subclass it and add your code that talks to your client store to find out which entries to delete. Use something like getTxCache().remove(null, [key to be invalidated] on objectsCache, permissionsCache, etc. Oliver Carlos Villegas wrote: Hi, Daniel Florey wrote: If LDAP provides some notification mechanism for informing slide about user/role updates additional user/role caching would be possible to achieve better performance.

Re: Download of files that are larger than 65535 Bytes (63,9K)
I was intending to put something detailed together on this. The problem is
with MySQL 4.0. It only allows BLOB's up to 64k. I have searched
everywhere on MySQL lists and could not confirm this, but you will notice
that you can't even upload a file greater than 64k using phpmyadmin.
I don't know if this is a phpmyadmin problem (I created the tables with
phpmyadmin in the first place), a mysql driver problem, or just a problem
with 4.0 that has been fixed in 4.x 0. I can't imagine 64k is the correct
max for blobs for such a popular database.
The solution I used was to change the type of the CONTENT column in the
VERSION_CONTENT table from BLOB to LONGBLOB. I can no longer browse this
table with phpmyadmin (bug???), but I have tested upload/download with 100
Meg files.
Apparently, changing the type to LONGBLOB will break PROPPATCH requests.
Stuart MacPherson posted a patch for this sometime back. I have not tested
for the problem or applied the patch. I don't think the patch or the change
to the table structure ever got into the Slide codebase.

Re: patch for auto-create-users
Well, I should restate that. I do need roles. I was actually hoping to use SlideRealm, because I want other parts of the webapp to use Slide roles for access control. The only reason I need LDAP is because usernames/passwords must all come from LDAP in the environments we are targeting. Once the user is created in Slide, I want SlideRealm to handle everything. The question is... how do you use an LDAP Realm for authentication, but a SlideRealm for authorization. I think I would need the SlideRealm to pull it's users from an LDAP store.

Java Client - putMethod for a new file in a new directory
Hi,
Using the slide Java client I'm trying to create a new file which I want to
create in a directory that doesn't yet exist.
I've tried several things, but can't get any to work.
Say for example I want to create a new file at the URL:
http://localhost:8080/slide/files/data/bob/newfile
and the directory 'bob' does not yet exist, how would I go about doing this?
here is an example of code I have tried:
HttpURL httpURL = new HttpURL(http://localhost:8080/slide/files/data/bob/newfile;);
wdr = new WebdavResource(httpURL, credentials, WebdavResource.NOACTION,
DepthSupport.DEPTH_0);
if (wdr.putMethod(bytes))
{
System.out.println(YES!!);
}
else
{
System.out.println(NO!!);
}
I have also tried:
HttpURL httpURL = new HttpURL(http://localhost:8080/slide/files/data/;);
wdr = new WebdavResource(httpURL, credentials, WebdavResource.NOACTION,
DepthSupport.DEPTH_0);
if (wdr.putMethod(bob/newfile, bytes))
{
System.out.println(YES!!);
}
else
{
System.out.println(NO!!);
}
Which also didn't work (and the directory 'data' does exist).
Any pointers, I'm kind of lost here?
Also, out of interest (and it may be related), how would I create a new empty
directory?
Cheers
Luke.

http://localhost:8080/slide/files/data/bob/newfile
and the directory 'bob' does not yet exist, how would I go about doing this?
here is an example of code I have tried:
HttpURL httpURL = new HttpURL(http://localhost:8080/slide/files/data/bob/newfile;);
wdr = new WebdavResource(httpURL, credentials, WebdavResource.NOACTION,
DepthSupport.DEPTH_0);
if (wdr.putMethod(bytes))
{
System.out.println(YES!!);
}
else
{
System.out.println(NO!!);
}
I have also tried:
HttpURL httpURL = new HttpURL(http://localhost:8080/slide/files/data/;);
wdr = new WebdavResource(httpURL, credentials, WebdavResource.NOACTION,
DepthSupport.DEPTH_0);
if (wdr.putMethod(bob/newfile, bytes))
{
System.out.println(YES!!);
}
else
{
System.out.println(NO!!);
}
Which also didn't work (and the directory 'data' does exist).
Any pointers, I'm kind of lost here?
Also, out of interest (and it may be related), how would I create a new empty
directory?
Cheers
Luke.

Re: patch for auto-create-users
Ryan Rhodes [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Well, I should restate that. I do need roles. I was actually hoping to use SlideRealm, because I want other parts of the webapp to use Slide roles for access control. The only reason I need LDAP is because usernames/passwords must all come from LDAP in the environments we are targeting. Once the user is created in Slide, I want SlideRealm to handle everything. The question is... how do you use an LDAP Realm for authentication, but a SlideRealm for authorization. Don't use SlideRealm. The slide realm makes user/password combinations available to the servlet container. Any realm does not handle authorization. The servlet container does a coarse authorization based on the information in web.xml. If this authorization is successfull the implementation of org.apache.slide.Security will do a detailed authorization based on the information in the /users node.

Streams in webdav???
I'm trying to create a stream to a webdav file. Are there any classes that will help out in this? (I've tried FileOutputStream and failed becuase it doesn't know how to open something like http://localhost:8080/myfile.txt ) Thanks! -- Amr Elssamadisy Developer,Researcher,Student (In no particular order...) tel: (413) 207-1225 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You mean that slide realm becomes the store for usernames/passwords that the servlet container authenticates against? Any realm does not handle authorization. The servlet container does a coarse authorization based on the information in web.xml. If this authorization is successfull the implementation of org.apache.slide.Security will do a detailed authorization based on the information in the /users node. Slide ignores the results of javax.servlet.http.HttpRequest.isUserInRole(). Martin I think we are in reverse here. I want to pull roles from Slide for other webapps. For instance, I might want to have a webapp with forums that are linked to slide groups, so that users of the webapp will browse the forums and only see the forums that are associated with the Slide Groups they belong to. I am thinking that the course authorization will be fine for apps that don't allow the users to directly manipulate the content tree. So... I want the webapps to use javax.servlet.http.HttpRequest.isUserInRole(), but I want the roles to come from Slide.

Problem with getChildResources, ports and httpurl
Hello Everyone, I have a rather odd problem, and I and I was hoping the
slide Gurus could help me out.
I'm finally making the transition to a more recent build of the slide 2.0
libraries because I am getting
an infinite folder problem with folders/collections that have characters
such as '',',' and '.' and I was
hoping this would resolve the problem, but alas I have another problem now
where, the url with the port is
getting changed.
Like many of you, I have tomcat running on port 8080, with the old versions
of the slide/http jars my URLs were
correct after calling either listCollections or getChildResources, but now
it's changing the url...in the following
way.
Correct URL:
http://localhost:8080/a1/.
Child Resources Returns:
http://localhost8080:8080/a1/
Note that 8080 now appears twice in the url, and my machine name has
effectively been changed to
localhost8080 not localhost
Has anyone else seen this problem?
I have attached some example code which might be helpful to other newbies
working with slide,
as well as a way to see what I'm talking about
Thanks for your help!
One other note is the difference in the way the old jars behaved vs. the
new, the old jars returned the parent+children, the
new stuff just returns the children (this is actually much better).
