! 2: If your domain has Apache with SSL running on your library server,
! 3: (i.e., URLs begin https://) and your Domain Coordinator has enabled webDAV access
! 4: for users with author or co-author roles, then you will be able to connect to an
! 5: Authoring Space using webDAV.
! 6:
! 7: A webDAV connection allows you to mount the Authoring Space directory tree as an
! 8: external volume. You can then use your own laptop/desktop computer's file management
! 9: tools and applications to copy, move, edit and delete files.
! 10:
! 11: The requirement to obsolete published files before moving or deleting them, which applies to
! 12: the regular web browser-based management of Authoring Space, also applies in the webDAV
! 13: environment. Moving and deleting directories in the webDAV environment is prohibited if
! 14: the directory, or any (nested) subdirectory contains a non-obsolete published resource.
! 15:
! 16: Given the ability to easily delete unpublished content in webDAV (without a mechanism to
! 17: reverse the deletion), it is important that you are especially careful when working in the
! 18: webDAV environment with this type of content.
! 19:
! 20: When you display the contents of a directory in Authoring Space using webDAV you may see
! 21: additional files, with extensions .log, .save, .bak etc. for each LON-CAPA .problem
! 22: file. You can view the contents of these files but you will not be able to edit or
! 23: delete them. These files are created by the LON-CAPA when using the web GUI.
! 24: For example, a .log file, which records publication history, is updated whenever you
! 25: use ``Publish'' to copy a file from Authoring Space to Resource Space, and .bak files
! 26: enable use of the LON-CAPA ``Undo'' button in regular web browser-based editing in
! 27: Authoring Space.

! 31: \item Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks) and earlier
! 32:
! 33: \begin{enumerate}
! 34: \item Select the ``Go'' item in the Finder toolbar and select ``Connect to Server''.

! 39:
! 40: \item Enter a URL for a library server where the Authoring Space is located:
! 41: e.g., https:// $<$ hostname $>$ /webdav/ $<$dom$>$ / $<$ username $>$/
! 42: where dom is the domain, and username is the username of the Authoring Space owner.

! 48:
! 49: \item You will be prompted to enter a username (this will be the LON-CAPA username
! 50: if the you are the author, or your LON-CAPA username:domain if you are a co-author)
! 51: and your LON-CAPA password.

! 59: choose an application to use to open it (e.g., Text Wrangler for .problem files).

! 72:
! 73: \item Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite)
! 74:
! 75: The instructions provided for Mac OS 10.9 and earlier can also be used to mount
! 76: the Authoring Space if you are using 10.10. However, because of a change in the
! 77: mechanism used to save files, the Apple webDAV implementation in 10.10 will not
! 78: allow saving of files in Authoring Space if they have already been published to
! 79: resource space. However, if you purchase the inexpensive ForkLift 2 utility for
! 80: Yosemite, you can continue to use the webDAV to modify and save these types of files,
! 81: when you use ForkLift to set up and manage your webDAV connection.
! 82:
! 83: \begin{enumerate}
! 84: \item Select the ``Go'' item in the ForkLift toolbar and select ``Connect...''.

! 90:
! 91: \item In the ``Connect'' dialog select ``WebDAV (HTTPS)'' as the protocol, and enter the
! 92: hostname of the server in the Server textbox, and your LON-CAPA username and password
! 93: (LON-CAPA username:domain if you are a co-author). Click the ``More options'' arrow to
! 94: display the Remote path textbox, and enter webdav/ $<$dom$>$ / $<$ username $>$/,
! 95: where dom is the domain, and username is the username of the Authoring Space owner.
