The http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/WebDAV page says "Wiki's WebDAV implementation only supports Basic Access Authentication and it doesn't support locking and versioning DAV operations yet.". I confirmed this by using NetDrive webdav client to authenticate with my xwiki installation which uses LDAP and it failed to authenticate -- but I could connect as local user "Admin". So it definitely seems to need some enhancement to support LDAP.

Well authentication mechanism is generic for the whole XWiki platform. If WebDAV support any authentication then it supports LDAP, i doubt an authentication system has been coded specifically for WebDAV module. It would be weird that WebDAV does not use it but i don't know WebDAV module very well. > > Thanks, > Milind > M > > > > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list > users@xwiki.org > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users > -- Thomas Mortagne _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
