I found that using the empty string "" in the Domain.xml didn't work but not specifying a value at all, as is done for the auto-version-exclude parameter, does work. At least it starts and works as it has done so far. Unfortunately, because of network problems I haven't been able to check whether setting the value to be empty causes the Slide server to set the "auto-version" property on files in the way I expected.

Not exactly. Newly created documents will not be put *automatically* under version-control, i.e. a creating PUT will not be translated into PUT -> VERSION-CONTROL by the server. > And will the > "auto-version" property of all new documents automatically be > set to an empty value or should I set the "auto-version" > parameter in Domain.xml to "" as well? If you want auto-versioning be turned-off by default (i.e. default for newly created files), you should set the "auto-version" parameter to "" in Domain.xml as well. > I would like to ensure that my WebDAV application controls > the versioning for all files in my Slide server.

Not through PUT ... but it would be possible through PROPPATCH by updating the DAV:auto-versionn property.
