WebDav with OWA

I am trying to implement WEBDAV in an OWA server. I created a virtual
directory with unc to a share in another server. I gave full access to the
user who need to access the folder https://server1/webdav/testa. I keeps
prompting me to logon each time I do something. when I want to open a
document, it prompt me to logon. Does it cache the logon and password. It
just get annoying for user to keep login on to do something when it is
already connected.

Thanks

Re: WebDav with OWA

I'm not sure why OWA would have anything to do with this.

Basically you have Client --> IIS --> Remote Server

Is the Remote Server running Windows Server 2003? Some other version of
Windows Server? Some other OS?

Cheers

Re: WebDav

The remote server is windows 2003. It just keep prompting me to authenticate
when I want to access a file.

Re: WebDav

OK, a few things spring to mind, but nothing definitive.

If you setup a new folder that is local to the IIS server (rather than being
on a remote server), do you still get prompted for credentials? If so, what
authN mechanism are you using?

If not, then it's something to do with IIS communicating with the remote
server. Did you alter the credential cache timeout value for IIS?

Re: WebDav

I did not try to setup the local server yet. I use basic authentication
because i have ssl certificate and I did not change any timeout value, how
would I change the timeout value and what is the optimum value?

Thanks
