How does the 'DB.DBA.DAV_ADD_USER' command work?

Please I’d like to understand how the ‘DB.DBA.DAV_ADD_USER’ really works… I want to be able to create a new user with unique authentication for WebDAV in the Approovia virtuoso instance. @kidehen

Have read you the documentation on the DB.DBA.DAV_ADD_USER and associated DAV API manipulation functions, which includes the function prototype and usage example ?

Yes I have, but the documentation isn’t very clear on certain things… for instance, what does it mean to create a new WebDAV user. I tried the Add new webdav user function in the documentation and nothing happened, which really got me confused. I want to be able to add a new user with different AuthId and Auth_Pwd for the requests.

In what way does it not work for you ?

As if I use the example in the documentation it does work for me:

SQL> DB.DBA.DAV_ADD_GROUP ('davgroup', 'dav', 'dav');

Done. -- 8 msec.
SQL> DB.DBA.DAV_ADD_USER ('davuser', 'secret', 'davgroup', '110100000', 0, NULL, 'Test User Account', 'nobody@foo.bar', 'dav', 'dav');

Done. -- 70 msec.
