This guide outlines the steps for LBP Union team members to set up WebDAV with UnionCloud using an App Password. This below instructions are for Windows users.

[[wikipedia:WebDAV|WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning)]] is an extension of the HTTP protocol that allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers. It can allow you to access UnionCloud files directly from Windows File Explorer

=== Step 1: Log in to Your UnionCloud Account ===
1. Visit [https://cloud.lbpunion.com UnionCloud].

2. Authenticate using Authentik.

=== Step 2: Generate an App Password ===
1. Once logged in, go to ''Settings'' in your UnionCloud account.

2. Select the ''Security'' tab.

3. In the ''App Passwords'' section, click on ''Create a new app password''.

4. Name your app password (e.g., ''WebDAV'') for easy identification.

5. Copy the generated app password. '''Note''': You won’t be able to view this password again after you leave the page.

=== Step 3: Set Up WebDAV in Windows File Explorer ===
1. Open ''File Explorer'' on your Windows machine.

2. Right-click on ''This PC'' or ''Network'' and select ''Map network drive...''.

3. Choose ''Choose a custom network location'' and click ''Next''.

4. Enter the following WebDAV URL: https://cloud.lbpunion.com/remote.php/dav/files/your-username/ ('''Note''': your username will appear as 'Authentik' and a bunch of numbers. You can find your actual username in your profile settings in UnionCloud)

5. When prompted, enter your UnionCloud username and the app password created in Step 2.

6. Make sure the option ''Remember my credentials'' is selected.

7. Click ''Finish''. Your network location should now be mapped and persistent across reboots.

=== Step 4: Verify the Connection ===
1. In ''File Explorer'', navigate to the newly mapped network location.

2. Ensure you can access and manage your UnionCloud files as expected.

=== Step 5: Troubleshooting ===
* If you encounter connection issues, double-check the WebDAV URL and your app password.
* Verify that your system and any related network services are up to date.
* Re-generate the app password if issues with connectivity persist.

==== Known Issues ====
WebDAV credentials may not properly persist after system reboots. You may need to save your app password in a password manager to enter it when the system loses the credentials.

=== Additional Steps that Might Be Required ===

==== '''Enable WebClient service''' ====
Open Services (services.msc) and locate the "WebClient" service.

# Right-click on it and select "Properties".
# Change the startup type to "Automatic".
# Click "Apply" and then "OK"

==== '''Configure Firewall settings:''' ====

* Enable incoming WebDAV connections by allowing traffic on port 443 (HTTPS) through your Windows Firewall.
* You can do this via the Advanced Settings of the Windows Defender Firewall
