Summary

  • Add an optional custom CA certificate path to the WebDAV data source configuration.
  • Pass the configured certificate bundle to the WebDAV client through its verify option.
  • Preserve the WebDAV client's default SSL verification behavior when no custom CA is configured.
  • Expose the setting in the WebDAV data source form.
  • Add focused tests for both default verification and custom CA behavior.

Why

WebDAV servers using private or self-signed certificate authorities cannot currently be connected
without modifying the container's global certificate configuration. Self-hosted users need a way to
provide a mounted CA certificate bundle for an individual WebDAV data source.

Testing

  • test/unit_test/data_source/test_webdav_connector_unit.py: 10 passed
  • ruff check common/data_source/webdav_connector.py rag/svr/sync_data_source.py test/unit_test/ data_source/test_webdav_connector_unit.py
  • npx eslint src/pages/user-setting/data-source/constant/index.tsx src/locales/en.ts --report- unused-disable-directives
  • git diff --check

Fixes #16635

The approach looks good overall, but I think this needs a couple of fixes before merging.

The main issue is that ca_cert_path is only wired into the Python sync path. On current main, Test Connection builds WebDAV through WebDAVConnector.build_connector(), which currently drops the field, so a private-CA setup can still fail validation even though sync is configured correctly.

There’s also now a native Go WebDAV connector, and it ignores ca_cert_path entirely. That means the same connector config behaves differently depending on whether RAGFlow is running through Python or Go. I’d expect the Go client to load the configured CA as well, while keeping the existing default transport untouched when the option isn’t set.

One smaller thing: invalid CA paths/PEM currently end up looking like authentication failures because of the broad exception handling in load_credentials(). It would be better to surface those as certificate/configuration errors.

I don’t think this needs a larger refactor the existing solution is fine in principle. Just make sure the CA setting reaches all supported construction/runtime paths and add focused coverage for them.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The WebDAV data source now supports an optional custom CA certificate path. The UI collects the path, backend code passes it to WebDAV connectors, and Python and Go clients apply custom certificate verification when configured.

Changes

WebDAV CA certificate support

Layer / File(s) Summary
WebDAV CA path configuration
web/src/locales/en.ts, web/src/pages/user-setting/data-source/constant/index.tsx, rag/svr/sync_data_source.py, common/data_source/webdav_connector.py
The WebDAV form adds an optional config.ca_cert_path field. The synchronization path passes the value to WebDAVConnector, which validates and trims it.
Python WebDAV verification
common/data_source/webdav_connector.py, test/unit_test/data_source/test_webdav_connector_unit.py
WebDAVClient receives verify only when a CA path is configured. OSError setup failures raise ConnectorValidationError. Tests cover default verification, custom paths, type validation, and setup errors.
Go WebDAV TLS client
internal/syncer/connector/webdav.go, internal/syncer/connector/webdav_test.go
The Go connector loads and validates a CA bundle, configures cloned transport TLS settings, preserves the default transport without a custom path, and reports invalid certificate files. Tests cover these paths.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9ada0

This change enables per-source custom WebDAV trust, but the configured CA path is read from the server filesystem without a demonstrated restriction to approved certificate locations, which could permit unintended file access or resource impact for users able to configure data sources. Merge readiness requires explicit owner acceptance or a confinement/authorization safeguard; a minor missing localization and validation-logging follow-up also remain.

Log custom CA selection.

The custom CA branch is a new WebDAV connection flow, but no log entry identifies whether custom verification was selected. Add a debug log for the WebDAV server when self.ca_cert_path is used. Do not log certificate contents.

As per coding guidelines: **/*.py: Add logging for new flows.

Localize the new field label.

The new field uses a hard-coded English label, while the other WebDAV labels use t(...). Non-English locales will show this field in English. Add a translation key and use t(...) for the label, as already done for setting.webdavCaCertPathTip.

Log successful custom CA configuration.

Add a flow-specific debug log when ca_cert_path enables custom TLS verification. The existing error log only records failed setup.

Log invalid CA path configuration.

The new validation branch raises ConnectorValidationError without logging. Add an error log before the raise so rejected configuration is visible in connector logs. Log the received type, not the path value.

As per coding guidelines, **/*.py: Add logging for new flows.

         if ca_cert_path is not None and not isinstance(ca_cert_path, str):
