Re: WebDav Acces (User Auths) with JDBC Datasource
I submitted code a few weeks ago to accomplish something very similar. You will still have to write a few simple methods (by implementing a DAO style interface) to retrieve your users from MySQL, but my contribution takes care of mapping your user info to the principal store format that Slide expects. My code also assumes that you are not relying on Slide to authenticate, but have already authenticated the current user before entering Slide. My principal store implementation does not expose passwords to Slide, only user information, roles, etc. Take a look at http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33639 for my contribution. I also include code to integrate Acegi authentication (which is what we use) with Slide's WebDAV servlet - and to facilitate some IoC style configuration (in my case, Spring). - Andy On Thursday 17 March 2005 08:01 pm, Michael J.

Re: WebDav Acces (User Auths) with JDBC Datasource
Hey Andy, Thanks for the response and the code. I am curious, what reason did you build the authentication outside of Slide? I am new to Slide (and Webdav) so please bear with me :) Thanks, Michael Andy Depue wrote: I submitted code a few weeks ago to accomplish something very similar.

Re: WebDav Acces (User Auths) with JDBC Datasource
WebDAV is only part of our architecture. We have rich clients that also communicate with services via Spring's http based remote protocol and via JMS. Sometimes the client may access a document directly, but sometimes the client may invoke a service which then needs access to a document. The user must be authenticated to access the service, which must be authenticated to access the document (with the user's priveledges). We wanted to keep all authentication in one place (Acegi) and handle it consistently in all cases for security purposes, scalability purposes, and auditing purposes. Acegi provides a set of servlet filters that handle all authentication up-front, before servlets are invoked (such as the remote invocation servlet, or the remote JMS servlet, or the WebDAV servlet). This keeps authentication in one place, which benefits those things I mentioned earlier (security, scalability, and auditing). - Andy On Friday 18 March 2005 08:28 am, Michael J.
