What is best way/resource to get to break into this type of programming? I am a total newbie to this, and would like to know how to do the whole authentication/authorization thing using Apache/Slide and WebDav. Specifically, I've already got users and groups defined in an Oracle database, and would like to use this information to manage access to files under WebDav.
This gets into the details of the applications that reside at application server/web server? I'm assuming that the webdav applications reside in the web server and are not like cgi scripts that are explicitly called from a get or post. Please verify, and forgive my newbieness. Thanks, Charlie ;) >>> jl 5/10/2004 12:37:05 AM >>> Hi Jeff! The WebDAV protocol does not contain any support for creating users. However Slide does have a way of solving this - if you use mkcol in you users collection, slide will automatically add DAV:principal element to the DAV:resourcetype property! Adding users to groups can be done using proppatch to set content of DAV:group-member-set. If you want to be these user to handle passwords too, the you have to user the SlideRealm in you tomcat server.xml /jacob ----- Original Message ----- From: "J H" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 4:31 PM Subject: Create New Users > Hi all, I'm trying to find some information on if the webdav protocol > supports creating new users.
