Hi Jim,

it might be that Windows cached your credentials. You could try 
Slide client (jakarta sub project Slide), which requires to type 
in the credentials everytime you start it.
You won't need to start the Slide server or the included Tomcat, 
just the client at pathTo\jakarta-slide-
1.0.16\client\bin\run.bat. (It might be necessary to start 
run.bat by typing bin\run in the client directory.)
