Well the last question didn't get a response so I will rephrase.
Given we want to use the default Tomcat Realm UserDatabase aka tomcat-users.xml for authentication because we have other webapps than Slide that we want to run on that Tomcat. We thought (gleaned from the mailist) that we could add users by adding them to Tomcat and assigning the "user" role to that user and then creating a collection under /slide/users/ for each new user with a mkcol newuser. But that doesn't appear to work by itself. Even though we know that the Domain.xml data element is only used during initialization of the slide stores ("Tx*") we added the user there as well as in the member set for the /slide/roles/user element. We Still don't see that user being able to do a put in a collection where the acls show /roles/user having write permission. We cannot find instructions on adding Slide users when using the Default tomcat-users.xml UserDatabase. Is there anything different than what we have done?
