Hello,
it’s much easier to work with files if you need no repeated authentication or credentials caching. We have a SSO solution, which works not only for the interactive portal but also for all WebDAV interfaces. This is available for both Vibe and Filr. It also works with Novell client and Microsoft’s domain authentication = user authenticates once, to the network, in the morning, and that’s it.

Nice demo. The new Office plugin looks great.

One thing you mentioned in the demo was that it is hard to add a new file to a Vibe folder. You stated that you had to go to Word (or whatever editor) and create a file first, then save it locally, then upload it to Vibe. But did you know that you can configure your Vibe server to allow you to just create a new Word file (or whatever) right from the Vibe UI without going through the steps of creating it locally first? When you add the configuration variable described below, there will be an option on the “New File Entry” button to add a new empty file of the selected type (e.g., a new .docx file).

To configure this facility, add the following line to ssf-ext.properties:
file.createFileTypes=.docx,.ods,.odt,.xlsx

This facility has been available since Vibe 3.1 (albeit it is described as “latent”, but it does work)

Good job, Jacques! Great, short, clear demo. What do you use for video capture? I like the transparent bar that pops up at the bottom to show what you’re typing.
