Hi all, In a project just started we're using a combination of open source products to build a secure document management system: - Tomcat with SSL client authentication - JSR168 portal (Liferay) - own DMS portlet for exploring and editing Slide content - Slide as the storage backend and for

Hi List is it possible to set the owner of a collection? I saw that the owner attribute is protected, but when creating a new collection it should be possible, I think. As I see the user that created the collection is its owner now, but I guess it should be possible to set, because if the

I believe this was a design choice to allow connections to be reused (persistent connections) rather than opening/closing a connection on every DAV method call. For example I have one webdavresource per thread and reuse the webdavresource by making use of the setPath() command to change the

Nick, I patched up our webdav client and slide server with the source you send. I still am not sure how to create an ace that will not propogate down the repository tree. Here is the sample code I am using, can you confirm it is the right way to create a ace that should not inherit

Duplicating security information?

2005-02-08 Thread Andy Depue
OK, I need ACLs and versioning so I guess WCK isn't for me. The one thing I want to avoid in my system is duplicating security information for a user. This would be the username, password, and the user's roles. We already manage user/passwords/roles in our system, and would like Slide to use

Implementing our own locking mechanism?

2005-02-08 Thread Whedbee, Marc
Hi, We are currently using Slide Server 2.0 on Tomcat. However, we have our own lock handling mechanism that we would like to use instead of the default one built into Slide. Is there a way to specify a different Lock class to use in config or anywhere else so that it does not always use the
