Server Admin 10.4 Help

Enabling WebDAV on Websites

Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) allows you or your users to make changes to websites while the sites are running. If you enable WebDAV, you also need to assign access privileges for the sites and for the web folders.

1. In Server Admin, click Web in the list for the server you want.
2. Click Settings in the button bar.
3. In the Sites pane, double-click the site in the list.
4. In the Options pane, select WebDAV and click Save.
5. Click Realms. Double-click a realm to edit it, or click the Add button to create a new realm.

   The realm is the part of the website users can access.

6. Type the name you want users to see when they log in.
7. If you want digest authentication for the realm, choose Digest from the Authorization pop-up menu, or choose Kerberos for Kerberos authentication.

   If you want Kerberos authorization for the realm the server must be joined to a Kerberos domain, and SSL must be on for the site. (Because credentials are sent in the clear, Server Admin requires that SSL be on.)

   Basic authorization is on by default.

8. Type the path to the location in the website to which you want to limit access, and click OK.

   You can also click the Browse button to locate the folder you want to use.

9. Click Save when you have finished creating realms.

   Note: If you have turned off the WebDAV module in the Modules pane of Server Admin, you must turn it on again before WebDAV takes effect for a site. This is true even if the WebDAV option is checked in the Options pane for the site. See Apache Modules for more about enabling modules.
