    • cadaver (no session)
    • web browser + Webdav uploads
    • desktop client
    • mobile client
    • same with regular password
    • same with app password
    • shibboleth
    • oauth
    • impersonate app
    • test upgrading with active app password / session ?
  • same as above but add a lock-out feature:

Research direction

Turn the listed client, credential, identity-provider, upgrade, and lock-out scenarios into an executable test plan, then verify each case across the named clients and authentication methods. Done means the relevant cases are documented with their expected results and coverage is complete.
