Hi,
Proximity's WebDAV adapter is just finished in SVN last night :)
IF you deploy from Maven only (will not mount it as a volume in
windows, since current implementation have some M$ related issues due
to buggy namespace handling of webfolders...) -- it should work.
Altough i'm going for 1.0.0, there could be some RC5 release that
supports WebDAV but have no all 1.0.0 release targeted issues
resolved...
So, one of the solutions could be: proxy the Proximity instance with
Apache 2.0, it works very vell with ADS as auth source (using LDAP
module).
And finally, use BASIC + HTTPS since it offers high enough security:
paswd is plain, but travels on TLS, so it is protected by the channel
itself.
Protect the whole proximity or just the DAV iface of it as you like --
apache + ADS gives you a lot of choices :)
Have fun!
