WebDAV password security

[xl600]

What is the recommended method for protecting the WebDAV login credentials within a vi?  If there isn't a way, can a pharlap based labview RT be configured with a WebDAV only service account?  I hate the thought of plastering my controller admin password into a vi.

Thanks,

Probably the best approach would be to password-protect the block diagram of the VI that contains the password information. Is this an option for you?

It's not my preferred option because that just creates another password to manage.  I would also like to be able to change the admin password of the PXI controller without having to worry about altering code.  A service account only capable of WebDav to/from specific paths on the controller would make a lot of sense here but I don't see any mention of how to set something like that up.

The permissions I see in the web interface don't appear to be granular enough to limit by protocol and there also doesn't seem to be file/path based permissions possible (Unless there's undocumented permission capabilities in LabView RT?).

I don't believe there is a way to do what you're describing in a Pharlap system. It might be doable in a Linux RT system, but in either case, it's not a build-in functionality to my knowledge. I suspect that password-protecting the VI is way to go on Pharlap.
