-Note: webDAV usage requires Apache with SSL to be running on the library server.

-If you use Single Sign On to authenticate LON-CAPA users in your domain, then to
-support webDAV you also need to support authentication by LON-CAPA for your users.
-This can achieved if the authentication type stored internally for each SSO user is
-set to either (a) Kerberos 5 (with a parameter -- the appropriate Kerberos realm
-set), or (b) Local Authentication, with /home/httpd/lib/perl/localauth.pm
-customized to verify username and password (e.g., via LDAP). If a user can log-in
-to LON-CAPA via the URL /adm/login (thereby by-passing SSO), then the same user will
-also be able to authenticate using a WebDAV client (assuming other requirements are
-met, i.e., SSL, WebDAV access enabled, active author or co-author role).
-
-The requirement to obsolete published files before moving or deleting them, which applies to
-the regular web browser-based management of Authoring Space, also applies in the webDAV
-environment. Moving and deleting directories in the webDAV environment is prohibited if
-the directory, or any (nested) subdirectory contains a non-obsolete published resource.
-
-Given the ability to easily delete unpublished content in webDAV (without the ability to
-reverse the deletion), it is important that authors assigned webDAV access are especially
-careful when working in the webDAV environment.
