So the 9.3 is out, and I have been so excited about all those new features. While playing around the new WebDAV support, I got a question about it and really hope someone could help me.
It just seems that FreeNAS only allows user webdav to access the WebDAV shares added to your volumes. Is this really the case? If so, then I have to say this is quite disappointing since it does not keep certain directories from guest users. I may haven't fully explored the feature, but I am really struggling to find a solution.
Say we have three directories: Documents, Music, and Public. We also have two users: admin and guest. Admin has full access (read and write) to all the directories, but guest is only allowed to visit Public. This is how I set up my FreeNAS, and the permission also works when you are out (outside local network) through FTP. However, having been playing around the WebDAV for hours, I can't find a way to access my server through WebDAV while keep the permissions I set up. It seems that the only user allowed to access your WebDAV is the user webdav with some arbitrary password. Can admin and guest access the WebDAV shared folder using their own username and password?
Any information will be helpful. And I appreciate your time!
