WebDAV servers support profile collection management using the following methods:
1. OPTIONS method: The OPTIONS method is used to retrieve the server’s capabilities and resources. When OPTIONS is executed on a WebDAV server, it returns the list of methods and features supported by the server.
1. PROPFIND method: The PROPFIND method is used to retrieve information about a resource, including its properties. When PROPFIND is executed on the root of a WebDAV server, it returns a list of all the profiles available on the server.
1. MKCOL method: The MKCOL method is used to create a new collection or folder on the server. Profile collections can be created using MKCOL. The server can be configured to limit access to profile collections.
1. PUT method: The PUT method is used to update or create a resource. In WebDAV, this method can also be used to update a profile collection.
1. COPY method: The COPY method is used to duplicate a resource. In WebDAV, this method can also be used to duplicate a profile collection.
1. MOVE method: The MOVE method is used to move a resource from one location to another. In WebDAV, this method can also be used to move a profile collection.
1. DELETE method: The DELETE method is used to delete a resource. In WebDAV, this method can also be used to delete a profile collection.
Overall, WebDAV servers can support profile collection management by implementing these methods and providing access controls and authentication mechanisms to ensure secure management of collections.
