Basic or Diggest authentication are authentication entry point (which

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.

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
