=== Windows Web Folders Client ===
 
* After modifying 95Addmod_dav2ibays to require auth only for write functions, Windows XP Web Folders (My Network Places) started randomly popping up a message asking for a client certificate.  I could find no server setting to get this to stop, but did find several mentions online about this issue.  I finally downloaded the "web folders update 12" from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=17c36612-632e-4c04-9382-987622ed1d64&DisplayLang=en (even though my workstation is running XP Professional SP3)
 
  
* Followup: the "web folders" update did *not* solve the problem - WebDAV works from Windows XP using "My Network Places", but users will get random requests to select a client certificate.  When asked, the user can click either "OK" or "Cancel", and will then be allowed to open the selected item.
 
 
 
 
== Older Notes ==
 
I was about to add the following to the article, but there seem to be some problems w/ the ibay support.  (I'm putting this here so I don't lose my work).
 
 
Problems:
 
# the current ibay script does not set any "AuthName", so the ibays fail if you enable WebDav
 
# The group auth logic doesn't seem to work - it is based on the groups listed in 'db accounts' as groups - so there doesn't seem to be an ''easy'' way to authenticate using the ibay username and password (you have to create an empty group, then assign the ibay to that group using server-manager, which doesn't feel very intuitive to me...)
 
 
=== DAV Enabled Ibays ===
 
smeserver-mod_dav now provides dav-enabled i-bays (at least as of smeserver-mod_dav-0.1-15.el4.sme).
