Hi,

I am new to slide content management framework. Here is what i want for web
based file manager i want for my application:
  
Well, Hello, and welcome.
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.
  
In the ACL (Access Control List) of the node "/home", you can add the following rule.
{ object="/home", subject="owner", action="", inheritable=true, negative=false }

Then for each collection under /home, add the property owner (namespace "DAV:") with the username as value.
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.
  
Maybe check the Tomcat documentation ...
Tomcat do the authentification and give to slide a user name (a Principal), and Slide trust it. In this cas it is also tomcat which says to slide which role the user have.
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.
  
What do you use as Store ? File Content store ? The store files can not be updated from outside slide. If you want to create a file in the repository you need to create it in webdav.
If you want to be able to use linux shell command like touch, take a look at davfs ( http://dav.sourceforge.net/ )
