Linux as the WebDAV Server:
On Linux, use your favorite package manager to install Apache. Most distributions will use Apache httpd 2.0 which has mod_dav built-in, so the only editing of the httpd.conf file needed are the DAVLockDB and Directory definitions. Note that you can also authenticate against Active Directory or LDAP using the mod_auth_kerb or mod_auth_ldap Apache modules. For this example, we’ll stick with using htpasswd:
$ sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/http.conf
..DAVLockDB /var/lib/dav/DAVLockDB
DAV On
AuthName "WebDAV Login"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/.htpasswd
require valid-user
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Now create the directories and set permissions:
$ sudo su
# mkdir /usr/local/apache/var
# chown apache:apache /usr/local/apache/var
# mkdir /var/www/html/webdav
# chown www:www /var/www/html/webdav
Finally, on Linux create the user and password file and restart the httpd daemon:
# htpasswd -m -c /etc/httpd/.htpasswd testuser
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user testuser
# /sbin/service httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
Now let’s try it out by connecting some clients!
