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.
WebDAV specification has defined two authentication mechanisms in it. - Basic Access Authentication - Digest Authentication At the moment XWiki cannot support Digest Authentication and I'm not sure whether LDAP authentication can be done for WebDAV. I will look around a bit and get back to you on this. Thanks. - Asiri

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, Milind M
