Digest authentication for Apache is at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/auth.html#digest. 

For a webDAV enabled and digest location (/davdigest), I have the following
configuration in httpd.conf for Apache

<Directory "dir-path">
Dav On
Options None
AllowOverride None
AuthName "DAV Digest"
AuthDigestDomain /davdigest
AuthType Digest
AuthDigestFile "digest-file-path"
require valid-user
</Directory>


Restrictions
------------
1. Only supports md5 algorithm.
2. Fixed client nonce and nonce count values.
3. Assumes credentials passed to Authenticator are values
   to be used for requested realm.


Cheers,
Rob.

Very nice, I'll apply it shortly...

Can you write a small howto or give me a link how to configure
apache/tomcat to make use of this?

Also, can you make a todo list and/or a restrictions list so that
somebody can quickly see what is implemented and what is not?

Thanks,
Dirk
