You get 401 when using curl, or when
using the Orion client? The easiest thing to do is login to Orion in the
browser, and then try the request from within that browser session.  I
have done authenticated requests to orion from curl, but only after configuring
the server to use Basic HTTP auth. Out of the box, Orion server uses Form
or OpenID authentication, and I don't know how that is done in curl.

The system property gives the server permission to
link folders at that location, but does not actually add any folders to
the workspace for you. You need to do the following after startup up the
server:

- Navigate to http://localhost:8080/
- Click "Link Folder"
- Enter the file system path of the folder to be added:

- Click Ok. This will add the folder c:\jjb\eclipse\fbugWorkspace\fbug
to your Orion workspace.
