Hi.
I will be using Slide as a file system based content repository. It will be part of a web-application which contains a UI to add/remove users and set permissions at folder level.
This means I need to integrate Slide with my web-app. I see 2 possible methods:
1. Slide accesses an external data-source for authentication and authorization, possibly via a custom plug-in (could be done using WCK, but that impacts DeltaV).
2. The users and permissions get set in Slide explicitly using an API (pointers to which greatly appreciated).
Functionally, I need to be able to answer the questions "Is user X with password Y a valid user?" and "Can user X access folder Z?"
Which of the above is the preferred approach and what is the "proper" way to go about it? What's considered best practices? Studying WCK, Realms, JAAS, Projector gives lots of options on authentication, but I fail to find options for authorization.
Br,
Morten
