Hi, We are evaluationg the tomcat webdav servlet for serving up a custom fileset based on the identity of the user and other search criteria encoded in the URL. Is this the place to ask questions about that?
If so: Is the Tomcat webdav servlet the successor of the abandoned-looking sourceforge project of the same name? The code looks similar, except the authentication hooks seem to be missing from the custom backend interface. I guess the idea was to rely on container managed authentication. My problem is that I need to retrieve further authorization details about the authenticating LDAP object. How am I to do this? Repeating the LDAP access configuration within the servlet seems like a terrible source of inconsistencies. My vague idea is to use a servlet filter to do the authentication, which could doctor the request URL path or parameters to include the authorization details. Does this sound reasonable or am I missing something here? Thank you for your time and all the great work: Gabor Szokoli --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
