Dav server is built into Sakai, right out of the box. Point your dav client at http(s)://<your server dns name and port>/dav/group/<some site id> to see that site's resources. Or to see a person's resources from a my workspace, use /dav/user/<user id>.
WebDAV issues (particularly with Windows 7)
- Run Sakai over HTTPS! Sakai's WebDAV only allows HTTP Basic Authentication and not Digest Authentication. Windows 7 will not do Basic Authentication over HTTP.
- Receive WebDAV commands at the root context ( / ). Win 7 native WebDAV will check the root context to make sure it responds to WebDAV commands (OPTIONS, PROPFIND).
WebDAV issues (particularly with native XP client)
UCT has set up a page to track a number of issues.

David Horwitz:
"One of the problems with windows is the large number of drivers you might have. It
seems that if you have MS office installed the windows drivers work.
Alan Berg identified the possibility that some versions of the native
driver don't work. So if you don't have MS office installed you may well
have a problem"
