Good solution, but this is a slightly different problem. The app server authenticates the requests to my WebDAV GUI. I can find out the name, but not the password. I need to send a request from my GUI to Slide, and I want Slide to see it as coming from the same user. I need the Principal from one request to be copied to the other request. Then Slide will create a trusted CredentialsToken for that Principal, and use them for ACLs and ownership stuff.
I'm still scratching my head if anyone has any ideas. I can modify Slide to accept some sort of cookie, but I was hoping to use it as-is. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin O'Neill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Slide Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 9:23 PM Subject: Re: J2EE Authentication Problem > On Thu, 14 Mar 2002 04:45, you wrote: > > > I'm developing a WebDAV client that runs as part of a J2EE web application. > > It receives an HTTP request, creates a WebDAV request, sends it to the > > Slide server and displays the results.
