Open Source Document Management System | OpenKM

I am trying to download the file using the WebDAV link but a prompt comes for username and password and after entering credentials I get:

WebDAV is disabled. Contact with your administrator.

Why?

Read this documentation section https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/view/ok ... ebdav.html

Now my WebDAV is enabled but when I am sharing a document link with an outside person for just downloading it, a prompts comes for username and password.
How can this be solved ? I mean to say that just for downloading also authentication required ?

Any resource from OpenKM is under authentication, that is the regular behaviour to preserve your data. Seems you are looking for some kind of public sharing?

ok got it.
So for public sharing I will use FTP or something else which is possible.

If you want to always list all documents might use joomla explorer ( or create small application what does something similar, is quite easy with SDK, the idea is connect the application with some user what will sharing all the contents he has access )

Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWs-vP4-6QA
Take a look at sdk for JAVA, .NET or PHP https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/

if you are looking for more controlled sharing, then you need something like sharing with download token, now is only implemented into professional edition.

I have created a normal user with read only access to particular folders.
So it can be shared with anyone for just downloading the document via that link.
Is this safe?

Yes, you are sharing credentials but because is a public user should working as expected. Only consider hiding the option for changing the password in the menus ( you can doing it from profiles -> I think is something named Preferences under Tools menu ).
