Hi, I am new to slide content management framework. Here is what i want for web based file manager i want for my application:
I want a directory let say "home" containing all the users directory. let say there are user1 and user2. I want user1 and user2 can access a folder home/user1 and home/user2 through webdav. I am not sure how authentication is done in slide but I want security to be integrated with tomcat security. For example, i want tomcat to access user name and password from database ( i configured that for simple tomcat server). but i am not how to integrate tomcat security with slide content management framework.Slide bundle comes with enabled slide realm. I want to disable slide realm and enable tomcat realm. I am not clear from documentation, how to enable tomcat realm. Secondly, while playing with slide, one issue i had was that from Linux/Unix command if i create a file/ directory, corresponding meta data file is NOT created ( which is required for file to be visible through webdav client, specifically I am talking of configuring "My network places" in windows). In other words, shell>> touch hello # there is no metadata file is created for this file. when i go ( in windows) to "My network places" and see my configured network I am not able to see hello file ( reason - there is no metadata). This is my understanding of slide content management framework. is there any way I can prevent generation of metadata ? Your pointers will definitely help me to proceed in right direction. please help me. -john
