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). On connection The webdav command line client (i.e. coming in the slide bundle) is asking for username and password Where I am giving "root","root" and it is connecting to the http://localhost/slide. Now on the same $ prompt I have fired following commands... [LOCALHOST] /slide/users/ $ mkcol mihir Making '/slide/users/mihir' collection: succeeded. So the first step to create user under users directory is done successfully... Now then I have fired the second command for setting password property as you mentioned.... [LOCALHOST] /slide/users/ $ propput "http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/"; "password" "mihir" [LOCALHOST] /slide/users/ $ Error: invalid command: http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/ It is giving the above error that invalid command... So can you please guide me where I am wrong...

Anyway, there are three ways to install Slide : 1) The source distribution 2) The binary distribution 3) The tomcat bundle When using the source distribution, you have ant build tasks that will compile and install slide setting all the required jars in the right places. For more informations look at http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/howto-tomcat.html in the part "integration with tomcat". I've not yet tested this fully. When using the binary distribution you just have a WAR, drop it in the webapps folder of tomcat (and maybe restart tomcat, depends on configuration). Then you should follow instructions in http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/howto-acl.html to confiure your tomcat to support authentication and slide to support autorization. The easiest way is to use the bundle, which IS a tomcat already configured and with slide already installed on it. This supports authorization and authentication as if you have installed tomcat then installed slide then configured everything. If you are just starting using slide go this way. You just have to unpack it in a directory of your choice, go to the bin subdirectory, make sur JAVA_HOME points to the JDK, and run startup.bat or startup.sh . If you have to install slide on an existing tomcat and want to configure everything properly i suggest to take the bundle anyway, and while following instructions on the links above compare your configuration files with the bundle ones, it's much much easier than following the how-tos blindly. Once slide is properly configured following one of the three ways, you don't need to edit the domain.xml file to add users, creating a collection named as the user name inside the /users/ collection and setting the property "password" with name-space "http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/"; will be enought to have a new user. Then you have to authorize it to access various resources on your server, but as soon as the user is created you can login with that user.
