\nThere is no LDAP setup quite yet. Maybe next revision?<\/p>\n
Since I wanted to connect a windows machine to this server as a test, I setup a user and then attempted to connect to the webdav.
\nUnfortunately we require another piece of software to be installed to support owncloud:
\nhttp:\/\/www.netdrive.net\/<\/a>
\nNetDrive is free for personal use. Webdrive, a variant of NetDrive, is not free. If this gets approved by the PTB, then we’ll end up buying maybe 25 licenses (for developers).<\/p>\nAfter the install of netdrive and a reboot, you can connect to your owncloud server!
\nYou may have noticed on the http:\/\/serveripaddress\/owncloud site when you logged in as the administrator, you can see at the very bottom of the page:
\n“Hint: Mount it via webdav like this: webdav:\/\/address\/to\/your\/webdav\/here\/owncloud.php”
\nYou will need that entire address to connect using NetDrive.
\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/it.thelibrarie.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/owndrive-150x150.png\" "\\"owndrive\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nAfter connection you will see your webdav drive as a shared drive on My Computer.<\/p>\n
***EDIT***
\nTurns out that you don’t require this software. You can just edit a registry key and add it to you windows 7 machine without issues:
\nStart the WebClient service
\nAdd the following key in regedit
\nHKLM\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\services\\WebClient\\Parameters
\n“BasicAuthLevel” set to “2”<\/p>\n
Since this is an external\/internal facing server, I had to secure it up a bit.
\nFirewall rule only allowing ports 80, and 443. SSH can be accessed internally only.<\/p>\n
I edited the hosts file to deny all, and only allow certain ranges for my networks:
\nHosts.deny<\/p>\n
sshd:all<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Hosts.allow<\/p>\n
sshd:internaliprange\/24 publicip anotherip<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nI edited \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/default to disallow directory listing for the entire site:
\nnano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/default<\/code>
\nUnder “Directory \/var\/www\/>” Change the following line from:
\nOptions Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews<\/code>
\nTo
\nOptions -Indexes IncludesNOEXEC FollowSymLinks MultiViews<\/code>
\napache2ctl restart<\/code><\/p>\nFinal Thoughts:
\nAfter I run through some more testing on my end, I will unleash it to the QA department to hit the crap out of it. If it still passes testing, I’ll implement SSL. And then test again. Then release to the masses.<\/p>\n
**EDIT3**
\nI’ve installed the 2b1 beta – there is LDAP, but I haven’t configured just yet. I had to write this down before I forget:
\nChange PHP to allow larger than 2MB file uploads<\/p>\n
nano \/etc\/php5\/apache2\/php.ini<\/code>
\nSearch for “2m”
\nChange to 10m
\nSave, quit, restart apache<\/p><\/blockquote>\n**EDIT4**
\nIE9 has some issues with compatibility mode for this software. I had to add this to the html meta portion (:

\nI was having problems with downloading certain docx files – the server was thinking these were actually compressed archives. I had to edit the mimetypes.fixlist.php file with the following:
