Notes

Selecting this option enables you to easily deploy your TIBCO Forms using TIBCO Business Studio. If you want to use TIBCO Forms and do not want to enable this option, then you must install the forms manually on this or your own web server.

There are security issues around enabling WebDav and if you select this option, the following warning message is displayed:

You have enabled write access to WebDAV, which allows you to make your own deployed forms for the browser client. This may cause your server potential security issues and/or cause your deployed forms for the browser client to fail. TIBCO Software Inc. is not responsible for these or any other consequences caused by your use of the write access to WebDAV.

If you do not want to use TIBCO Forms, then TIBCO recommends that you do not enable write access to WebDav. See the documentation supplied with Apache Tomcat Application Server for more information about security.
