hi all,

i've set up a webdav directory and it works fine. there's just one
problem: i'm not able to define a user who's not allowed to write or
delete files. either there was no user allowed to access the directory
or all users had full access.

this is my conf:

DavLockDB "/home/lock/DavLock"

Alias /transfer "/home/transfer"

<Directory "/home/transfer">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

<Location /transfer>
# WebDav einschalten
Dav on

# Dateien als Text anzeigen
ForceType text/plain

# Benutzer
AuthType Digest
AuthName WebDav
AuthDigestDomain /transfer https://server/transfer
AuthDigestProvider file
AuthUserFile "/home/user/WebDavUser"
AuthGroupFile "/home/user/WebDavGroup"
require valid-user
<Limit HEAD POST PUT COPY DELETE LOCK MKCOL MOVE UNLOCK>
Require group rw
</Limit>
</Location>

everything works fine if the user is memeber of group rw. if he's not,
he has no access to the directory. i've tried several different confs,
f. e.:

<LimitExcept OPTIONS>
Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>
<Limit COPY DELETE LOCK MKCOL MOVE POST PUT UNLOCK>
Require group rw
</Limit>

but i hat the same problem.

there's my fault?

REMOVE "require valid-user"

removing "require valid-user" opens the directory for eevryone. that's
not the idea. i need a conf, that allows registered people to read and
some of those people to write.

i found a working solution, thanks for your hint.

of course, here are my apache2.conf directives:

DavLockDB "/home/lock/DavLock"

Alias /transfer "/home/transfer"

<Directory "/home/transfer">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

<Location /transfer>
# WebDav einschalten
Dav on

# Dateien als Text anzeigen
ForceType text/plain

# Benutzer
AuthType Digest
AuthName WebDav
AuthDigestDomain /transfer https://server/transfer
AuthDigestProvider file
AuthUserFile "/home/user/WebDavUser"
AuthGroupFile "/home/user/WebDavGroup"
<Limit GET HEAD OPTIONS>
require group ro rw
</Limit>
<Limit POST PUT COPY DELETE LOCK MKCOL MOVE UNLOCK>
Require group rw
</Limit>
</Location>

greetings
