Java WebDAV Server Authentication
WebDAV Server Library for Java is independent of authentication schema and does not contain any authentication or authorization code. In your project, you can implement Basic, Digest, NTLM, Kerberos, cookies, URL-authentication, or any other authentication required in your project. In this section, you can find several examples of authentication implementation.
Note that many WebDAV clients including MS Office (on both Windows and Mac OS X) and MS Miniredirector (Windows Shell) require Basic, Digest, NTLM or Kerberos. They do NOT support cookies authentication out of the box. To implement cookies authentication you can use protocol application provided with WebDAV Ajax Library and Ajax File Browser. See the following articles for more details: For WebDAV Ajax Library: Opening MS Office and other Docs from a Web Site with Cookies Authentication. For Ajax File Browser: Opening Docs from a WebDAV Server with Cookies Authentication
