WebDAV uses "basic HTTP authentication" which should use whatever UserFolder you have installed.
Thanks.. So, I think I should be able to modify the authentication plugin of PUF so that each time a user makes a bad login attempt (either via WebDAV or the login form) it increments the "bad login" counter?
Sounds like a plan, anyway :)
Actually, it does not. You have no such thing like a session when all you have is webdav. I dont know if many dav-clients store cookies too - it may depend on your usecase. Without cookies you dont know if a request is the first, second or third time. And just counting per user would make an excellent way to DoS. Regards Tino
