It seems that it is a Tomcat-related problem, actually I think that it does not load the .jar files in the right order.
What I am trying to do is use Slide with the built-in authentication. As I already had a Tomcat (5.0.19), I only downloaded the .tar.gz bundle with the server and the commandline client. It works fine without authentication - except I can not access to the directories whose access is rectricted to root (users, roles, etc.).
At first I just uncommented the indicated lines in slide/WEB-INF/web.xml and added the roles and users to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib. All I got was a beautiful 'HTTP 401' error, with my Mozilla browser, the WebDAV client in OpenOffice and the Slide command-line client.
So I did as it was written in the doc: I put the slide-catalinawrapper.jar into $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib and modified the default security realm in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml. At that point I just could not restart my server for it did not find some classes.
What doc?
My question is, what is the RIGHT method to make Slide's authentication work ? And maybe this should be put clearly in the documentation, at least as an FAQ...
The right method is to run tomcat-4-install resp. tomcat-5-install target in the build.xml if you have downloaded the src release. If you want to use binary stuff download one of the Tomcat bundles.
