Sorry for not giving any anwser - I actually have the same question.
I am thinking a third option: let another application handles authentication and authorization.
I'm considering that also. I thought of putting Apache in front, and implement it using .htaccess but that doesn't scale well (too hard to maintain).
I'm currently toying with an idea of implementing a ServletFilter and put that in front of the WebdavServlet, that is a non-intrusive and somewhat clean approach where I can consider Slide a shrink-wrap standalone product. If it's the best approach I don't know, that's still to be determined. But do let me know what you end up doing, I'm curious!
