> While doing a quick prototype/proof of concept using DNA for the first time, I ran into two issues:
> - I wasn't able to simply login using Repository.login(). I had to configure and use JAAS.
> - I wasn't able to write files to a FileSystemSource, getting an error similar to "source does not support update"
> The latter was fixed by adding the configuration property "updatesAllowed" and setting it to true.
> After some discussion in the chat room with bcar and rhauch, it sounds like everyone is on board making the initial user experience easier (avoiding the above two issues). A potential side JIRA to this would be to add documentation on hardening DNA for a production deployment, which would mention things such as disabling anonymous login and file writing (assuming that's desired).
> On a personal note: the docs do a really good job of laying out the other steps I needed to take with regard to creating the configuration, engine, repository, and session. Once I got JAAS configured the code I had written to interact with DNA worked fine.
