WebDAV over HTTPS

If you want to access a WebDAV repository across a non-secure network, Oxygen XML Editor Eclipse plugin allows you to load and save the documents over the HTTPS protocol (if the server understands this protocol) so that any data exchange with the WebDAV server is encrypted.

When a WebDAV repository is first accessed over HTTPS, the server hosting the repository will present a security certificate as part of the HTTPS protocol, without any user intervention. Oxygen XML Editor Eclipse plugin will use this certificate to decrypt any data stream received from the server. For the authentication to succeed you should make sure the security certificate of the server hosting the repository can be read by Oxygen XML Editor Eclipse plugin. This means that Oxygen XML Editor Eclipse plugin can find the certificate in the key store of the Java Runtime Environment where it runs. You know the server certificate is not in the JRE key store if you get the error No trusted certificate found when trying to access the WebDAV repository.
