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.

Hi. I searched this mailing list and xwiki docs for
this information but didn't find anything.
Is there any plan to extend the authentication mechanism in WebDAV component to support
LDAP? I felt that having access to page content and attachment folders via shared drive
(using NetDrive) would be immensely attractive for end users because of the ability to use
enhanced editors to directly edit page content and the ability to upload/manage multiple
attachments.
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,
