Issue

  • Until version 2023.q4 (excluding), the standard authentication (using username and password) to connect to WebDAV worked correctly. Since this version, such authentication has been disabled.

Environment

  • 2023.Q4

Resolution

  • Starting from 2023.q4 and next versions, access to WebDAV is only permitted through token generation via control panel in the user administration. This change was made for security reasons, as it was necessary to protect user passwords.
