Webdav

[mayank]

hi guys..
Can anyone tell me what is function of WebDav in OX...
Is it necessary to have WebDav to share resources in OX.. ??
I'm right now using OX downloaded from current CVS ....on Debian...
We're using MTA as Cyrus-Postfix with MySql.

It is not necessary, it is just one of the interfaces you can access the OX-Server (like HTTP/AJAX-Interface or Outlook). Just take a look at the architecture overview here:

As Martin Braun posted 3 Days ago. You just select 2 users in step 5!!!

1. Login as User A, the user who wants to share his folder
2. Do a right-mouse button click to a contact folder
3. Select "Properties" from the context menu
4. Click the "Rights" tab
5. Click "Add user" at the panel and select User B and C.
6. Click Save

Again, same result as earlier...
1) When i click save button and again go back to Rights tab, it doesn't show
saved users again..
2) when i login as user B/C , it doesn't display any folder ..

Now what ??

I'm sorry. I've tested it on several system, it is working properly!!!

[mayank]

now its showing folder A in Shared Folder of user B/C but not able to
share any info ...
is there any issue related to granting permissions ??

what do you meen with "but not able to share any info ..."???

[Markus Wagner]

If the users B and C should be able to create objects in the shared folder, you must set the "folder rights" in the rights tab to "create objects"!!!

I mean to say that , it's behaving pretty differently.
Now that i've restarted my server, It's not even showing any Folders in Shared Folder
of neither user B/C.
I've already given permission to users B and C for sharing contacts of A.

If the users B and C should be able to create objects in the shared folder, you must set the "folder rights" in the rights tab to "create objects"!!!
