CentOS 7 + Apache 2.4 + WebDav (Not so secure)

1. Create webdav directory 

mkdir /var/www/webdav
chown apache:apache /var/www/webdav

2.  Add a virtual host to apache server

vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

NameVirtualHost *:8080

        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        DocumentRoot /var/www/webdav/
       
                Options Indexes MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
       

        DavLockDB "/tmp/DavLock"
        Alias /webdav /var/www/webdav/

       
                DAV On
                AuthType Basic
                AuthName "webdav"
                AuthUserFile /var/www/webdav/passwd.dav
                Require valid-user
                RewriteEngine off
       

3. Create webdav user

htpasswd -c /var/www/webdav/passwd.dav test

Use"-c" at first time to create the passwd file
To add other users, don't use "-c" option

4. SELINUX , set the webdav folder writable by apache httpd

grep denied /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep webdav

type=AVC msg=audit(1443167688.330:3067): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=10689 comm="httpd" name="webdav" dev="dm-0" ino=770665 scontext=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 tclass=dir

grep "Permission denied" /var/log/httpd/error_log

chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t /var/www/webdav/

5. Test webdav
