WebDAV and WebNS on 11503

I've having problems getting web authoring thru our CSS11503 running WebNS 7.x
I've come across this comment about ACNS
[Quote] In ACNS software, HTTP request methods are categorized as supported and unsupported. HTTP 1.1 request methods (for example, GET, HEAD, or POST) are supported by default. Nonstandard request methods, such as Web-Based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) are not [End-Quote]
Is there a problem with WebNS passing my WebDAV traffic onto the servers? Can this be fixed? They are demanding the removal of the CSS if they cannot get their WebDav working.
Thanks.

Thanks Gillies.
Can you suggest how I might do this? The CSS was unpacked and put into production within hours of arrival, without time to experiment or learn. I got it going by using someone elses configuration as a starting point. I dont know that much about the CSS features, and I cannot fiddle with it easily. I have a telephone conference in a few hours with the Project Manager, Application developers (from USA), and the Solaris Server Admin to work out what options we have.
The application is an online learning system (Vista/WebCT), using port 80 and eventually 443 (the CSS has the SSL module already). It also has a chat system on port 2304, and they want to be able to WebDAV to port 80 as well. I need to balance the traffic across the backend server nodes evenly, and be sticky so that a student remains connected to the same node for their session which may last several hours. Source IP stickiness sounds like a possibility. Can you provide me more details?
Thanks, Michael

Authentication to XML DB via WebDAV and SSO

Hi,
Is there any way to be authentified by XML DB via WebDAV and SSO ?
If the access to our infrastructure of database servers is controled by SSO, once I'm authentified by OID (SSO), is it possible to pass that authentification to XML DB through standard port 8080 ?
Thank you for your help

This is planned for a future (not 10g) release

Webdav and Win7

Dear Experts,
I am trying to configure webdav on windows 7 and followed suggestions at here, here and other administration guides and still facing connection issues.
Can someone give me some tested pointers on how to configure webdav on win7.
Thanks,
Srikanth.

Hi Srikanth ,
DIS also behaves the same way as WebDAV and it provides far more functionalities compared to native WebDAV .
If you have UCM 11g server then go to Administration - Component Manager and enable Desktop Integration Suite component , restart the server .
Then from UCM - My Content Server - My Downloads - select DIS client and install it .
From DIS client create the server connection (exactly same as WebDAV)
With this you can bulk upload as many contents as your requirement is just like the way is done with native .
Hope this helps .
Thanks
Srinath

Webdav and InCopy compatible?

My company has had continual problems with file sharing externally.
We tried Dropbox and Xythos. Dropbox lets you save multiple versions of the same problem which causes obvious problems when 5 people are working simultaneously. Xythos was giving our off-site mac user download problems.
It's now been proposed that we use WebDav as our file sharing place. Does anyone know if this will mesh with InDesign and InCopy? I'm worried that the fact that you have to download a file will prevent the InDesign user from working while the editors are in InCopy. Or if there are multiple InCopy files in one InDesign file, only one person will be able to work on any of those at once, right?
Has anyone used this software?
Thanks!!

You can access pre-calculated HTML pages in different ways:
· Using the BEx Download Scheduler
SAP recommends that you use the BEx Download Scheduler as an assistant when you download pre-calculated Web templates as HTML pages from the BW server. More information is available under Offline Scenario.
· Using a Web folder
As an alternative to the BEx Download Scheduler, you can also use the WebDAV Service of the document storage facility in the content management framework, to store pre-calculated HTML pages locally and easily. (Restricted) offline reporting options are available using this method. You can find further information about the WebDAV service under Implementing External Tools . See also: WebDAV (World Wide Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning). You can find additional information about this procedure under Downloading Web Templates Using WebDAVs and Web Folders

How To: Setup WebDAV and Apache2 for Private iCal Publishing

Notes:
This tutorial will not cover the installation of Apache2 or the required modules.
These paths apply to Ubuntu Server, but should work with many Linux distros.
There are other ways to configure your DAV directory. I have chosen to use a sub domain.
For simplicity, I am using Basic HTTP Auth. *THIS IS NOT SECURE!!!* Do not rely on Basic HTTP Auth for true security. For more details: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_dav.html#page-header
The following commands assume that you will be using sudo or logged in as root.
1. Enable mod_dav and moddavfs: *a2enmod dav_fs*
2. Create a directory for your DAV: *mkdir /var/www/dav*
3. Create a sub domain site: *vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/dav*
4. Enter the following:
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /var/www/dav
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
ServerName dav.yourdomain.com
</VirtualHost>
DavLockDB /usr/local/apache2/var/DavLock
<Location />
Dav On
Order Deny,Allow
AuthType Basic
AuthName "DAV"
AuthUserFile /var/www/user.passwd
Require valid-user
</Location>
5. Create the user.passwd file:
*cd /var/www/*
*htpasswd -c user.passwd*
+Enter username and password when prompted+
6. Reload Apache's config: */etc/init.d/apache2 reload*
You can now publish your calendars to: dav.yourdomain.com.
Enjoy!

How do you set up a webdav?
Lion doesnt know webdav! No Versions... forget the webda(v).
How does look your config?
DNS is correct?
Check with:
hostinfo (IP)
hostinfo (dnsname)
nslookup (IP)
nslookup (dnsname)
Does the user/group exist? can you log in over an other protocoll? like afp?
More informations please...

Webdav and xdb, xml-files are automatically deleted (or hidden)

Hi All.
In our project we have mounted webdav from a Linux box against an IBM database server running AIX and Oracle 11g.
The file system on the Linux box is mounted to the xdb-schema on the dbserver.
When placing xml-files into the database through the webdav-catalogue on the Linux-box the files are copied over, but almost immediatly removed (or hidden) from the target directory in the database.
I´m thinking there might be a trigger that tries to validate the xml-file against an xsd that isn´t registered in XDB. The reason for this is that when suffixing these files with something other than .xml the files are kept visible to all users.
What I´d like to know is how to disable this check/trigger, and which trigger does this.
Can anybody tell me if my assumtion is correct, and if yes, how to disable this checking?
Our users in the project will also be given access to folders through this webdav mount, and they will use this as a storage space for other xml-files as well. Files we do not have xsd´s for. Another function for this webdav directory is to serve as a source directory for ODI, and ODI validates the files against the xsd when transferring data to the database, so we don´t need this extra validation in the database.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi,
What's the database version? (select * from v$version)
When placing xml-files into the database through the webdav-catalogue on the Linux-box the files are copied over, but almost immediatly removed (or hidden) Does that mean you see them for a short period of time, and then they disappear, or you never see them at all?
Are you using XML DB events?
You can check if there's any resource configuration defined, and that may explain this behaviour :

FrameMaker 8, webdav, and cms

My company needs to run FrameMaker 8 via a Webdav service. Is a CMS required? If so, is there an open source CMS that works well with Frame?

Hi Laurence,
If you can produce PDFs from the AdoebPDF via ID and AI by printing, then I'd suspect that the driver is probably ok. (Note: from ID and AI, it is better to SaveAs PDF, since these have their own internal PDF generation capabilities.)
Also, with FM8, if you're making interactive PDFs (i.e. not for press), then it is ok to do the SaveAsPDF route, since FM has some post-processing modules that kick in to clean-up the .tps file prior to handing it over to Distiller. So, the process is no longer is identical to printing to file and distilling.
On the FM side, make sure that the tagged PDF setting is turned off in your PDF setup and have the setting for generating named destinations for all paragraphs enabled.
You also might want to download Sundorne's SetPrint ( http://www.sundorne.com/FrameMaker/Freeware/setPrint.htm ) utility to ensure that you always have the same printer instance (AdobePDF) enabled when you start FM.
Have you also applied the MS hotfix for the PDF font issues? Details are available here: http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2008/07/hotfix_for_framemaker_1.html
Last desperation move would be to create a new custom PDF printer instance using the Distller PPD and a copy of the AdobePS installer.

WebDAV and characters beyond a-z, 0-9

This is the second time our mac user base reports trouble with WebDAV.
If a file or folder with name contains åäö and uploaded from a PC, they disappear from the webdav/finder window as soon as they are clicked on. In some cases they are blinking instead. If they're uploaded from a mac they are uploaded denormalized as a°a¨o¨ (but shown as åäö) they work.
This issue has been confirmed as a problem on other sites as well, for example Box and CloudMe, and we're thinking it has to do with names being normalized on the remote end (which is normal behaviour). This applies to Snow Leopard and Lion as well, and it's at least a couple of hundred users complaining for us.

Various issues with webdav and DW 8

I have numerous Dreamweaver MX 2004 and Dreamweaver 8 users
connecting to an Apache web server using WebDAV protocol for
content management.
Dreamweaver MX 2004 users have absolutely no issues
connecting and updating content using WebDaV.
Dreamweaver 8 users face multiple issues
-> It takes a very long time to connect to the WebDav
server
-> It takes a very long time to connect get/put or
checkin/checkout
-> Frequent timeout and permission errors
-> Errors while trying to rename files/folders
-> syncronize option is disabled
I noticed that DW 8 reports this client signature
"Contribute/3.0" while MX 2004 uses "Dreamweaver-WebDAV-SCM1.02". I
added both these to BrowserMatch redirect-carefully settings in
Apache.
I saw numerous posts about WebDAV issues but I do not believe
any of these cover this situation. Your help is appreciated

Hi Automatic motion,
Try disabling non microsoft startup services viz antivirus etc ( Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-servic es-windows.html ) and then try installing.
You might also want to enable the hidden admin account ( Ref : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-adminis trator-account-on-windows-vista/ ) and then try install in this account and check.
You can also troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5 -cs5.html.

Trouble with WebDAV and One Client

We publish our ical calendars to a WebDAV folder on our Xserve. So I set the owner of the directory "ical" to www and the group to www. I then set up a realm called "ical" with prufrockstaff (a group with certain user accounts) as the assigned group (Can Browse and Can Author).
However, one of my staff (a member of prufrockstaff) keeps failing to authenticate "Authenticating using checkpw failed, trying legacy method" then failure to publish in ical (Actually, she can publish a new calendar on a first attempt, but all other Refresh attempts fail to authenticate). All other staff (members of prufrockstaff) can publish their calendars fine.
As an experiment, I published a calender using this staff member's account name and password from my client machine and everything worked fine.
It seems to be related to something on the client machine. All other authentication from that machine using the account name and password works find (webmail, file services, etc.).
Any ideas where to start trouble shooting?

The trouble was unrelated to web services.
It turned out to be a problem was with the account name/passwords saved in the user's keychain for iCal and WebDAV.
I deleted all of the user's keychains for iCal and WevDAV, republished the calendars from the user's account, and everything works perfectly.

WebDav and ACL's problem

Hello,
i've the folders:
..\test\a
\b
The subfolder "a" has other ACL's than "b". User
"A" has an ACL to access "a" but not "b" and user
"B" has one to access "b" but not "a".
With WebUI and SAMBA, user "A" can only see subfolder
"a" and "B" can only see subfolder "b", witch
is ok.
With WebDAV user "A" and "B" can see subfolder "a"
and "b" and the have read/write access to both
subfolders, witch is not ok.
Please had someone an idea what could be wrong ?
Sincerly
Robert Brandl

I have applied an acl that allows access to one server as well as ICMP. When I apply it to the guest VLAN, I have connectivity issues. As in I cannot access the servers to which I gave explicit permission to access.
When I remove the ACL, I can connect to the remote servers.
I finally decided that a ACL on the WLC was not the way to go as I could not find supporting docos on the WLC 4.X software. So, I applied VACLs to the VLAN for the Guest WLAN and it works.

Using webdav and uploading

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way which I can drag and drop files via a web folder and upload documents to the document table specified in my DAD rather than the default portal one. I know that this can be done using the PLSQL toolkit but this isnt really what im looking for. I want to upload via webdav. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thank you Patrick!
BUT the emphasis is on "via web folder"!
Via web folder (WebDav) produces PROPFIND and not GET or POST requests on the web server so those requests have to be properly handeled by Apache.
There is a WWDAV_API_DRIVER which gets Apache input in these cases, but it's practically useless since one can't customize it! The package body is wrapped...
I stll wonder how one coud do it in PL/SQL.

Webdav and russian folders

Hi,
I created folders with russian names in OIP. Then I tried to copy some files using webdav into these folders.
But I can't open russian folders. I'v get this message:
"The folder .... is no longer available"
English folders work properly.
OIP 10.1.2, Win2003
Thanks

Hi JTyson,
I assume you are using the Oracle WebDav client, in which case can you share the connection settings that you have used. Can you also check as what user are you establishing the connection and if the user has the access to folders.

WebDAV and locking

Hi,
I want to share a couple of files with a co worker. So I gave WebDAV a try. The problem is that the files don't seem to be locked. So we can both work one a file and overwrite changes made by the other. How do I turn on locking?
Thanks in advance
Edo

Hi Helmut,
the problem is the "V" at the end of "WebDAV", which means "Versioning". The clients you mentioned in principle should be called "WebDA" clients (without the final "V"), because they do not support the versioning part of WebDAV (sometimes called DeltaV because it wa added later to the protocol). Like with most other version control systems (CVS, Subversion etc.) writing to a file requires to checkout the file from the repository first. So for write access you need a WebDAV/DeltaV client like the DTR plugin for Eclipse.
There is an optional feature in WebDAV called "auto-versioning" that allows to checkout/checkin files implicitly if one tries to upload a new content, but DTR does not support this yet. Auto-versioning tends to produce enormous amounts of versions (each time you press the save button in your office program) and is usually not very useful in development.
The LOCK command as far as I know generally is not supported.
Regards
Michael

WebDav and full paths bypassing authentication?

Heyas,
Why would a WebDav share allowing me to download a file, without authentication, if I type in the full path to the file? This is in browser by the way; "Connect to server" requires authentication either way.
Example: http://dav.url.com/test will required authentication
But: http://dav.url.com/test/file.txt will let me download the file without any credentials.
Could permissions be wrong? They are the same between the directory and the file itself. I didn't change any, but it is all that really makes sense to me at this point. If it makes a difference, the dav share is also the root of the website directory (no websites involved - strictly a url for a dav share.)
Any ideas?
