How can I access the webdav with alternative credentials when it is set up
to use anonymous when no other credentials are supplied (i.e. user is never
challenged for name and pw)? I'd like the webdav to be open and readable by
anyone without their having to supply any credentials, but I'd also like an
admin person to be able to log in with write access.
let's see whether i get you question:
- everyone should be able to access without being prompted
for username/password
- still there should be a way that the admin can login in
order to get write permission.
is that correct?
the only way you can achieve this at the moment is:
- use an empty value for the missing-auth-mapping
- make sure your client automatically sends the required
authentication header without being promted.
that works (i use this with the spi2dav code).
but, i'm not sure if all webdav-clients allow to specify
a username-password pair.
i think webdrive allows it and the ms-webfolders don't.
