-Additional options for authoring spaces can be set for the various user
-types: (a) whether webDAV is active, and (b) the default quota for Authoring Space.
-These only come into effect for a particular user, when an author and/or one or
-more co-author roles have been assigned to a user to provide access to one or more
-Authoring Spaces.
-
-WebDAV allows a user to connect to an Authoring Space in the same way as removable
-media, and to use their own laptop/desktop computer's file management tools and
-applications to move, edit and delete files. See: ``WebDAV access to Authoring Space''
-section in the Authoring manual for more information.
-
-Note: webDAV usage requires Apache with SSL to be running on the library server.
-The user will be prompted to enter his/her username (this will be the LON-CAPA username
-or username,domain if the access is for a co-author with a domain different
-to that of the author), and the user's LON-CAPA password.
-
-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-Given the ability to easily delete unpublished content in webDAV (without the ability to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.
