Fwd: Setting inheritable owner permissions

Chris Sharp Fri, 19 Sep 2003 09:56:32 -0700

Is there anyone that knows what needs to be done to synchronize the ACL implementation in Slide with the current spec. draft (http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-webdav-acl-11.txt)? I am sure with a little context developers would be happy to help out (myself included!).

Regards,

Chris.

Hi Stefan,

it seems you have found out what I was unsure about. So Slide
currently does not support the <property> element. And if it does not
recognize it via the ACL method I strongly doubt you would have luck
by putting it in Domain.xml.

Regarding ACL it's a pity that Slide is lagging so much behind the
current working drafts, but the main developers are currently
concentrating on other specs, namely WebDAV Bindings.

Regards,
Ingo

Thank you Ingo,
with this sample I found that in the WebDAV spec too.

But unfortunately it doesn't work. I build a testcase using your
sample. It produces a 400 Bad Request and logs the "helpful" message:
  Error parsing requestBody:
  null

By stepping through the code I found that AclMethod.parsePrincipal() throws a JDomException with the message "<principal> element must contain either a <href>, <all>, <self> or <unauthenticated> element."

This message disappears but seems to be the problem: out <D:property> element is not recognized.

Do you know a way to setup such an owner permission in the Domain.xml file?

Thanks again,
Stefan L�tzkendorf

This is certainly possible. An ACL method to accomplish that task
would have something like the following as the request body:

<D:acl xmlns:D="DAV:">
  <!-- read and write privileges for all users -->
  <D:ace>
    <D:principal>
      <D:all/>
    </D:principal>
    <D:grant>
      <D:privilege> <D:read/> </D:privilege>
      <D:privilege> <D:write/> </D:privilege>
    </D:grant>
  </D:ace>

  <!-- manage permissions for the owner -->
  <D:ace>
    <D:principal>
      <D:property> <D:owner/> </D:property>
    </D:principal>
    <D:grant>
      <D:privilege> <D:read-acl/> </D:privilege>
      <D:privilege> <D:write-acl/> </D:privilege>
    </D:grant>
  </D:ace>
</D:acl>

Regards,
Ingo

Hello,

we are trying to setup the permissions on a collection to give
all users read and write permissions and the owner (creator) of
the resources in the collection the permission to manage (e.g.
manage permissions).

Is there a way to do that?

thanks in advance.
