-IF Slide Realm is used in the container (and this requires explicit confiugration)
--A collection can be used to authenticate users, the default is /users/
THEN
--- When a user requires access, tomcat asks the Slide Realm, which checks if there is a collection under /users/ with the same name as the user requesting authentication.
--- IF the collection is there, the property password, with name space http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/, is compared with the password supplied by the client.
---- IF the password is ok, the user is granted access.
--- IF the collection is not there, the user does not exists, so it's not granted access.
-IF Slide Realm is not configured or used, you can use another authentication method. In this case it think that to make ACLs useful you will need a collection under /users/ anyway, because ACL specifications require a principal URL anyway.

I remember reading somewhere that this is specific to the slide server and not a generic webdav specification is that true?

I am very new to slide…
I have seen in the “users” directory that there are few users like root, john, john2 are created
Now I wanted to create my own user, so could anyone please guide me how can I do that using slide
Command line tool.
very simple : cd users mkcol username
And the user is there.
Also once the user is created I want it for login purpose so please guide me in that direction also.
First of all you need to have tomcat confiured to use the Slide Real for authenticating users, in the binary downloads there is a bundle which comes with slide installed in a tomcat5 already configured to use the slide realm and there is also a good howto on the side rearding this. I suggest you to download the bundle to have a "reference configuration", then follow the howto and configure your own tomcat properly.
Then, if you use users for authentication, you need to set a password for them. Using the command line client or any other client (DavExplorer is quite good for this), set the "password" property, with namespace "http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/ , containing the password you want.
Also I would like to know if any sample java programs are available for different commands of WebDAV client
Then please give me the reference link.
A good source of examples is the command line client itself. Download the source of slide, and then you have it in \commandline\src\java\org\apache\webdav\cmd\Client.java after unpaking the zip.
Hope this helps, Simone
