Hi Maud,

merci pour les réponses. I installed cadaver, and I could easily
reproduce this behavior.

The authentication will work as expected if you update the admin
password in the webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml file [1]. But it's supposed to
also function if the credentials are removed from the web.xml file.
Beside that, I was surprised that you had to enter credentials with
the default password at all! I will check if this issue is specific to
the cadaver WebDAV client and give you an update soon.

Cheers,
Christian
