Change the AUTH of WebDAV from basic to digest

tsuga324

Hello,

Now, the auth of WebDAV is basic-auth.
However I want to change it to Digest-auth.

Can I do it?

Please tell me the way.

I'm sorry for my poor English…(I'm japanese…)

Thank you.

I'm unable to access Alfresco via WebDAV from Windows 7 most likely because of the Basic auth it uses. (Changing the registry key does not help, same applies to installing Webfolders update.)
What I get is message saying that the folder is invalid. When asked about this the MS support guy describes step-by-step how the wizard works. :roll: Obviously MS does not want WebDAV to work.

Given I can't use CIFS for accessing Alfresco (NTLM allegedly being attack-prone, NTLM2 being useless in this scenario) there seems to be no way to access Alfresco using vanilla file managers.

Can one of the Alfresco engineers PLEASE answers this issue as this is a major concern of ours as well … we were promised that this issue would be fixed in 3.3.3 but it still is not …. we have an enterprise-wide implementation with over 90 GB of documents already on the system. How will people be able to edit documents for read/write purposes in Windows 7 if we can't use WedDAV???

Please help!!!

(Ignore this message ff you insist on the digest authentication; I'd love to see that too.)

If your goal is to make Alfresco spaces accessible using WebDAV regardless of the authentication algorithm the BasicAuth seems to work, I've been eventually able to make it work by following these steps *precisely*.

Thanks - did pick it up and was planning to test tomorrow … this sounds good - will let you know if this was the solution!

Using Webdav on Windows XP/Vista/Win7 is still a mess despite the fact that this protocol is used by Microsoft produts like Office and Sharepoint !!

Modifying the registry on a large corporate scale is not an option.

We still need a simple way (server side) of making Alfresco/Webdav working on Windows clients.

Nb : It seems that modifying the AUTH level in Tomcat will be the easiest way as it has being a working option for Apache/Webdav. See http://shon.org/blog/2010/03/04/howto-fix-windows-7-64bit-webdav/ or http://tavie.onsenfout.com/2011/05/27/dossiers-webdav-apache-et-windows-7/ (in French)

Doesn't it work if you have a valid certificate on the server?
I think windows default behavior allows you to use basic auth if it's coupled with SSL
Then you would access \\myserver@SSL\alfresco\webdav
Haven't tested it though…
