旧式网络文件服务(如NFS、SMB/CIFS和AFP)改变了我们的工作方式。在跨平台网络上运行的文件服务允许我们将文件保存在远程系统上，并改变了我们彼此交换文件的方式。网络技术再次改变了我们的生活和工作方式。2002年秋季，由于对具有强大内容管理功能的Web集成网络文件服务的需求，我们在林岭艺术与设计学院的教学计算机实验室提供WebDAV(基于Web的分布式创作和版本控制)服务。WebDAV是HTTP(驱动Web的协议)的一组扩展，允许用户相互协作以编辑和管理网络上Web服务器上的文件。WebDAV允许我们的机构为每个课程托管一个共享文件空间。课程中的学生可以访问共享空间，以便与教师和同一课程中的其他学生进行协作。通过将轻量级目录访问协议(轻量级目录访问协议)整合到系统中以维护单点登录，可以无缝访问WebDAV共享。在我们的实施中，我们集成了ApacheWeb服务器、WebDAV的Apache扩展以及用于用户身份验证信息的基于LDAP的元目录模型。此外，我们还实施了Perl脚本，该脚本每小时运行一次，以监控WebDAV存储使用情况并触发任何磁盘配额违规的警报。在这份技术报告中，我们将与同事分享我们从部署WebDAV中学到的框架、提示和诀窍。我们将解释如何通过在Windows和Unix平台上提供WebDAV服务来加强传统网络文件服务。此外，我们还将讨论我们必须解决的问题以及我们在部署过程中和之后吸取的经验教训。
Legacy network file services such as NFS, SMB/CIFS, and AFP changed the way we worked. File services running on cross-platform networks allowed us to save our files on remote systems and changed the way we exchanged files with each other. Web technology changed our lives and the way we work again. In the fall of 2002, due to the demand for a web integrated network file service with powerful content management capabilities, we are offering WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) service in our instructional computer laboratories at Ringling School of Art and Design. WebDAV is a set of extensions to HTTP (the protocol that drives the web), which allows users to collaborate with each other to edit and manage files on web servers across the network.WebDAV allows our institution to host a shared file space for each course. Students in a course can access the shared space for collaboration with the instructor and other students in the same course. Access to the WebDAV share is seamless by incorporating LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) into the system to maintain single sign-on.In our implementation, we have integrated the Apache web server, Apache extensions for WebDAV and the LDAP based meta-directory model for user authentication information. Furthermore, we have implemented a Perl script, which runs every hour to monitor WebDAV storage usage and triggers alarms for any disk quota breach.In this technical report, we will share our framework, tips and tricks we learned from our deployment of WebDAV with our colleagues. We will explain how legacy network file services can be strengthened by providing WebDAV service on both the Windows and Unix platforms. Furthermore, we will discuss the issues we had to address and the lessons we learned during and after the deployment process.
