This application provides a WebDAV that supports multi-tenancy. It is based on StoRM-WebDAV. We have added a manager level that accepts requests, authenticates the user, identifies the local username of the user, starts a StoRM-WebDAV server for that local user with a randomly assigned port to listen on, and forwards the user's request to that port. The StoRM-WebDAV server will then handle the request in the usual way. If the StoRM-WebDAV server is inactive for 10 minutes, it will be shut down by the manager. If another request comes in for a different user, the manager will start another StoRM-WebDAV server for that user in the same way.
