Work with WebDAV clients
WebDAV is an HTTP extension framework with a plug point for the access and management of hierarchical data, for example, in content management systems. WebDAV stores the data in collections and allows you to work with the data in a user interface view that is similar to that of a file system. Various tools are available for integrating WebDAV resources into the client file system, known as WebDAV clients. To use WebDAV for WebSphere Portal, first set up WebDAV clients.
This topic describes the WebDAV clients that the portal supports and provides setup and usage information for these clients.
When you use a Web server to work with WebDAV...
- Access the WAS administrative console.
- Select Web servers -> webserver name -> Plug-in properties -> Request and response.
- Set Accept content for all requests to true for the Web server plugin.
- Regenerate the web server plug-in.
- Copy the file plugin-cfg.xml to the Plugin directory.
- Open plugin-cfg.xml file and set AcceptAllContent to true.
- Restart the web server.
Notes:
- Numerous other WebDAV clients are available that you can use for WebDAV access. IBM supports the use of these WebDAV clients; however, IBM does not provide fixes or give support for issues found to be specific to a particular WebDAV client.
- Some WebDAV clients have specific restrictions, for example a limit to the size or number of files that you can handle when using WebDAV, or a read only restriction. These restrictions usually have security reasons. If you encounter issues when working with WebDAV, consult the documentation and forums for WebDAV client.
