WebDAV security configuration

If you want to control the roles that use the webdav path in the Spotfire Statistics Services installation, create a file called webdav.security.config and set properties to manage that control.

The file webdav.security.config is used to configure the roles that are required for using the /webdav/ path within the Tomcat container (that is, http://server/<server_name>/webdav, where server is the server name.). The file contains a specific format for providing access. The settings are similar to the following two options.

  • /webdav/.*=ROLE_USER,ROLE_ADMIN
  • /webdav/directoryA/=ROLE_USER,ROLE_ADMIN

If you do not create the file and specify a different configuration, the first example is used as the default.

Note: The syntax for your configuration must be exactly as demonstrated above. That is, /directory/regexp (on the left) equals (=) the comma-delimited role definition(s) on the right.
