ODS Briefcase WebID Protocol Sharing to Group

1. Configure Virtuoso+ODS instance as an X.509 Certificate Authority and HTTPS listener
2. Generate a Personal HTTP based Identifier for fictitious Person Entity: Tom and then bind his personal Identifier to an X.509 Certificate (thereby giving him a WebID)
3. Generate a Personal HTTP based Identifier for fictitious Person Entity: Anna and then bind her personal Identifier to an X.509 Certificate (thereby giving her a WebID)
4. Log into ODS-Briefcase as user "Demo" (a Person Entity)
5. Create a WebID Protocol Group, for ex. with name "MyWebIDGroup" and add the users Tom and Anna's WebID's to it:
   

   
   -- Tom's WebID
   http://cname/dataspace/person/tom#this
   
   -- Anna's WebID
    http://cname/dataspace/person/anna#this
   

   
   
6. Share an ODS-Briefcase hosted resource explicitly with "Tom and Anna" via their Group WebID:
   

   
   http://<cname>/webdav/webaccess/demo#MyWebIDGroup
   

   
   
7. As user which belongs to the WebID Protocol Group "MyWebIDGroup": Tom, attempt to view the resource shared by Person Entity "Demo" by doing the following:
   • refresh browser
   • access the url: https://host:ssl-port/DAV/home/user-name/user-resource. For this example, it should be: https://localhost:4433/DAV/home/demo/kidehen.vcf
   • when prompted by browser, select Tom's Certificate
     
     
     
     
   • after successful authentication, you will be able to save or view the shared resource: kidehen.vcf.
     
     
     
     
8. As user which belongs to the WebID Protocol Group "MyWebIDGroup": Anna, attempt to view the resource shared by Person Entity "Demo" by doing the following:
   • refresh browser
   • access the url: https://host:ssl-port/DAV/home/user-name/user-resource. For this example, it should be: https://localhost:4433/DAV/home/demo/kidehen.vcf
   • when prompted by browser, select Anna's Certificate
     
     
     
     
   • after successful authentication, you will be able to save or view the shared resource: kidehen.vcf.
