The tomcat-users.xml file is used by MemoryRealm. However, I think the
default Realm used in slide is SlideRealm which User is the node in
/users and password is a property on the node. Role is the specific
interface implemented by the Node class...
In short, I tried to uncomment the root password in server/Domain.xml
file on slide 1.0.14, it work when using root and its password to login.
<!-- /users/root represents the administrator -->
<objectnode classname="slideroles.basic.RootRoleImpl"
uri="/users/root">
<!-- Uncomment and change the password to allow login as
root to
edit the namespace -->
<revision>
<property name="password"
namespace="http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/";>root</property>
</revision>
</objectnode>

Subject: Yet another authentication problem
I've read all the archived mail about authenticating users via Tomcat,
but
I'm still unable to make it work for Slide. I'm using Slide 1.0.15 beta
with
the bundled version of Tomcat.
The Tomcat manager app DOES authenticate correctly. Following
suggestions
from earlier emails, I've edited the following entry to the Tomcat
conf/tomcat-users.xml file:
<tomcat-users>
<user name="root" password="root" roles="root,manager" />
</tomcat-users>
http://localhost:8080/manager.
However authentication doesn't work when I try to access Slide through
either http://localhost:8081/slide or http://localhost:8082/slide. The
browser challenges me for the username/password, but whatever I enter
always
results in a "401 - Unauthorized" error.
I notice in the conf/server.xml file that the "Catalina" Engine declares
a
Tomcat MemoryRealm, whereas the Slide "WebDAV" and "Admin" Engines do
not
define a realm to use. Is this significant?
I have edited conf/slide/slide.data to add the following:
<objectnode classname="slideroles.basic.RootRoleImpl" uri="/users/root">
...
<revision>
<property name="password"
namespace="http://localhost:8081/slide/";>root</property>
</revision>
</objectnode>
I'm not sure if I have the syntax of the namespace correct here. The
commented out example gave it as http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/.
Attempting to authenticate http://localhost:8081/slide produces the
following error messages in logs/webdav_log.xxx.txt:
2001-10-09 14:31:25 HostConfig[localhost8081]: HostConfig: Processing

2001-10-09 14:31:25 HostConfig[localhost8081]: Deploying discovered web

2001-10-09 14:31:38 Slide realm[/slide]: User null doesn't have his
password
property set : can't authenticate
logs/slide_domain.xxx.txt gives the familiar error:
09 Oct 2001 14:31:38 - org.apache.slide.common.Domain - WARNING - Access
denied on /users by user /users/guest for action /actions/read
So, to summarize, the Tomcat manager app authenticates correctly, and
works
fine - but the Slide apps don't authenticate.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Tim
