If you have a server on your local network that is used as a file storage and contains a great number of documents, you will probably not want to upload all of them into a web service and will continue working on them in the old manner. But there is a simple, reliable and secure solution that allows you to take advantage of editing documents online. You need to do the following:

  1. Set up WebDAV on your server. WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is an extension of the HTTP protocol that allows to manage files on a remote server, access documents over the web and collaboratively work on them.
  2. Connect your WebDAV document storage to the ONLYOFFICE Documents module. This will allow you to significantly extend the file management and collaboration capabilities. You will be able to:
    • set different permissions to files and folders for users and groups;
    • control version history and restore any previous version or revision;
    • create and edit documents online using the most powerful online editors;
    • use wide collaborative capabilities, such as real-time co-editing, reviewing, tracking changes, commenting and much more.

Step 1. Create and configure your WebDAV server on Ubuntu 14.04

  1. Install the Apache web server
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install apache2
    

    Now the Apache server is installed and running.

  2. Set the WebDAV data directory

    The default document root directory for Apache (in Ubuntu 14.04 and later) is /var/www/html. It makes up the document tree structure which should be accessible from the web. Create a new folder named webdav within the /var/www/ directory:

    sudo mkdir /var/www/webdav
    

    Change the folder owner to your Apache user www-data so that Apache has write access to the folder:

    sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/
    
  3. Enable the WebDAV modules within the Apache configuration

    Apache includes built-in WebDAV modules, but they are not enabled by default. Enable them using the following commands:

    sudo a2enmod dav
    sudo a2enmod dav_fs
    
  4. Configure your WebDAV Server
    Initial configuration
    1. Open the configuration file in a text editor, e.g. nano:
      sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
      
    2. Add the following directive as a first line:
      DavLockDB /var/www/DavLock
      
    3. Find the <VirtualHost> section and add the following directives within it:
      Alias /webdav /var/www/webdav 
      <Directory /var/www/webdav> 
      DAV On 
      </Directory>
      
      • The DavLockDB directive specifies the path to the WebDAV lock database.
      • The Alias directive makes it possible to allow web access to any folder outside of the document root. In this example it maps requests to http://<hostname>/webdav to the /var/www/webdav folder.
      • The Directory directive sets a number of other directives that should be applied to the specified folder and all its contents. In this case, the DAV directive is specified that WebDAV should be enabled for the /var/www/webdav folder.

      As a result, your config file should look like this:

      Edit the Apache configuration file Edit the Apache configuration file

      Save the changes and close the file.

      Now your WebDAV server is almost ready to use, but we need to make it more secure by enabling authentication.

    Enabling authentication

    Select the necessary authentication type depending on the following two conditions:

    • which ONLYOFFICE version (Windows or Linux) you are using,
    • whether HTTPS is enabled on your Apache server or not.
      this article provides basic information on how to set up WebDAV with Apache and does not describe how to install the Apache server with SSL. The Apache server installed using this guide is accessible over HTTP.

    The table below will help you to choose a suitable authentication type.

    HTTP Apache HTTPS Apache
    ONLYOFFICE Linux version Basic Basic
    ONLYOFFICE Windows version Digest Basic, Digest

    Install prerequisites

    No matter which authentication type you want to enable, first install the apache2-utils utilities for your web server. This set of programs comprises both the htpasswd utility used to create a password file for the basic authentication and the htdigest utility that is used to create a password file for the digest authentication.

    sudo apt-get install apache2-utils
    

    Create a password file

    1. Generate the file that contains user passwords adding the first user:

      For the Basic authentication:

      sudo htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/webdav.passwords alex
      

      For the Digest authentication:

      sudo htdigest -c /etc/apache2/webdav.passwords webdav alex
      

      You will be prompted to set and confirm a new password for the specified user.

    2. When adding other users, use the same command omitting the -c flag:

      For the Basic authentication:

      sudo htpasswd /etc/apache2/webdav.passwords chris
      

      For the Digest authentication:

      sudo htdigest /etc/apache2/webdav.passwords webdav chris
      
    3. Change the owner of the password file to www-data so that Apache can read the file:
      sudo chown www-data:www-data /etc/apache2/webdav.passwords
      

    Edit the Apache configuration file

    1. Open the configuration file in a text editor, e.g. nano:
      sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
      
    2. Add the following lines to the <Directory> section:

      For the Basic authentication:

      AuthType Basic 
      AuthName "webdav" 
      AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/webdav.passwords 
      Require valid-user
      

      For the Digest authentication:

      AuthType Digest 
      AuthName "webdav" 
      AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/webdav.passwords 
      Require valid-user
      
      • The AuthType directive sets the authentication type that should be used when users try to access the /var/www/webdav directory. The possible values are Basic or Digest.
      • The AuthName directive specifies the name of the authentication realm. The specified value should be displayed in the browser password dialog so that the user knows which credentials to provide. When enabling Digest authentication, this value is also included into the command used for the password file creation and acts as a namespace for users.
      • The AuthUserFile directive specifies the path to the file that contains the list of users and their passwords.
      • The Require directive checks if authenticated users are authorized to access the directory according to the certain restrictions. In this case, it specifies that all valid users (i.e. the users who can verify their identity) can access the directory.

      As a result, your config file should look like this:

      Edit the Apache configuration file Edit the Apache configuration file

      Save the changes made and close the file.

    Apply the changes

    1. Enable the selected authentication module.

      For the Basic authentication:

      sudo a2enmod auth_basic
      

      For the Digest authentication:

      sudo a2enmod auth_digest
      
    2. Restart the Apache server using the following command so that the changes take effect:
      sudo service apache2 restart
      

    Verify that your WebDAV directory is accessible from an external computer:

    Your WebDAV server can be accessed at http://<hostname>/webdav

    Where <hostname> is your WebDAV server IP address or host name. You can enter this address in the address bar of your web browser or connect via your computer file system. E.g. in Ubuntu, you can do that in the following way:

    1. In the Files window, click the Connect to Server option.
    2. In a new window that opens, enter dav://<hostname>/webdav and click the Connect button.
    3. You will be asked for your credentials. Type in your WebDAV user name and password specified in the password file and click Connect.

Step 2. Connect your WebDAV server to the Documents module

Now you can switch to the Documents module and connect your WebDAV server.

  1. Click the Documents link on the portal start page.
  2. In the opened Documents module, click the Add Account Button button below the Add account caption.
  3. In the Connecting account window, press the Other account button.
    Connecting account Connecting account
  4. In a new form that opens, enter the following parameters to connect your WebDAV directory:
    • Introduce the Connection URL in the following form: http://<hostname>/webdav/ or https://<hostname>/webdav/
    • In the Login and Password fields specify your WebDAV user name and password.
    • If necessary, change the default name of your WebDAV directory in the Folder title field.
    • It's also possible to add the WebDAV directory to the Common Documents section available for all portal users rather than to your personal documents. To do that check the Make shared and put into the 'Common Documents' folder option.

  5. Click the Save button.

That's all, you have successfully connected your WebDAV server to the ONLYOFFICE Documents module. Now you can:

  • change access rights to different folders and documents within the connected WebDAV directory. To learn more about access permissions in the Documents module you can refer to this article.
  • edit your documents using the fully-featured online editors. To learn more about online editors capabilities you can refer to this section.
