Hi, i am new as far as using slide is concerned. I am having problems in
creating users using DAVExplorer. The user created using DAVExplorer cannot log
into SLIDE unless and untill i add it to tomcat-user.xml. Is there any way
where in i can add users without making the changes to tomcat-user.xml. And if
there is no way of adding user for SLIDE w/o making changes to tomcat-user.xml,
then is there a way where in the changes are automatically reflected in the xml
file and i dont have to mannually make the entries for the user.
Tomcat handles authentication ("letting someone in") and Slide handles
authorization ("determining what authenticated users can do").
See http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/howto-acl.html for some more details on
each.
To make Tomcat use Slide for getting it's users and roles for authentication,
you can change Tomcat's default UserDatabaseRealm into
wrappers.catalina.SlideRealm (this is the setup in the Slide+Tomcat bundle),
or use JAAS authentication as described here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/howto-jaas.html
See also FAQ "Where do I configure authentication and security?":
http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/faq.html
There is a good hand-on example of configuring Tomcat+Slide here:
