Notes
- webdav has certain restrictions in windows. for it to be reliable on the lan, you have to not use ssl. restrict non-secured traffic to trusted networks using require directive in apache config
- Traffic from outside the lan should work on ssl-encrypted connections.
- If you accept outside clients to this service, they may need a 3rd party client
- There is no permission system. One way to get permissions is to maintain multiple webdav sites, and use require user @group in apache config to restrict access
- Everything works browser side- Authentication and encryption
System Prep
- apt-get install cadaver
Configure Apache
- vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/files.computerisms.com.conf
- touch /Computerisms/sites/DAVLock.db
- chown files:files /Computerisms/sites/DAVlock.db
- mkdir /var/log/apache2/files.computerisms.com/
- chown root:adm /var/log/apache2/files.computerisms.com/
- a2ensite files.computerisms.com.conf
- a2enmod dav dav_fs dav_lock
- /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
- samba-tool dns add houselian computerisms.com files A 192.168.26.10
Test webDAV
- cadaver http://files.computerisms.com <= This command should request your network username and password, brings you to a prompt:
dav:/> quit - cadaver https://files.computerisms.com <= This command should require you to accept a certificate, then request your network username and password, then bring you to a prompt:
dav:/> quit
Configuring Windows
- Install this: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15123
- webDAV folder is mounted as W in logon Script, CA cert should be loaded through GPO
- Manually: start=>right-click Computer=>map network drive=>Select W for Drive letter=>Enter in the folder field: http://files.computerisms.com=>select Reconnect at logon=>Finish Button
With SSL
- Same as above, except use https
- Can't get it to work from inside the lan => FQDN problem.
- make sure the CA is loaded into adminlian.
- make sure webclient is on in windows
- configure windows to use basic auth:
- windows+r=>regedit.exe=>yes=>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters=>dblclickBasicAuthLevel=>set Value=2=>OK=>reboot
