James,

This depends on what level of integration you need between LDAP and
Slide.

To get *authentication* working, you need to configure your app server
to authenticate users against LDAP. If you're using Tomcat 5 have a look
at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/realm-howto.html#JNDIRealm.
I was never able to get the JNDIRealm working with Tomcat 4, but it's
been shipping with Tomcat since 4.0.6 (I believe) so it's supposed to
work. If you're using a different app server you'll have to check the
documentation for that server.


I have the JndiRealm working for Tomcat5, as I have it working fine with webdav, but to get it working with slide will be a bit more problematic, as I need to figure out which file(s) to modify, whether just changing web.xml would be fine or if I need to change Domains.xml also.
Also, we would need to have it take into account roles, as just faculty should be able to have folders.


I am trying to understand how to get this to work so I can demo it to my co-workers and we can decide if we want to continue on this path of trying to integrate slide into our system.

Thank you for the response. I will look at the CVS repository for the /users and /roles nodes.
