Hi Mihir the Slide command line client is quite buggy. You *can* add a property "password" with value "123" to a user "sally" by:
$ proppatch /slide/users/sally password 123 Unfortunately, I have no idea how to set the property's namespace (http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/). Maybe you should try with another client, e.g. the "DAV Explorer" (http://www.ics.uci.edu/~webdav/) ... I succeeded with that one :) Regards, Peter > -----Original Message----- > From: Solanki Mihir [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2004 13:42 > To: Slide-Mailing > Subject: FW: how can i create new user in slide (please > provide me some > help on this, it is important for me, thanks) > > > > Hi Simone, > > I am here using the third option that is "The Tomcat Bundle" > All the environment variables are set properly like > JAVA_HOME, SLIDE_HOME > etc... > > Now I have started the tomcat (using startup.bat) and then I > have connected > to the > Website http://localhost/slide (tomcat is configured to run > on port 80).
