Webdav + Permissions IIS W2K3

Hi,

I have problems to configured Webdav in the way I want to.

My wish:
I want to publish some folders on our file server to the internet so that we
can throw away our ftp-server. The user authentiaction should be done against
our active directory. The one who wants to access the files has has a vaild
user and the proper NTFS permissions to access the folder.

My config:
I installed the IIS onto our W2K3 fileserver and I enabled Webdav. I
disabled the default website and I configured a new one with a specific
hostheader "webdavtest".
The permissions on "webdavtest":
servername\Administrators -> FC
System -> FC
servername\Users -> Special: List,Read,Read Extended Attrib. ON: This folder
only

Directory Security:
[v] Basic authentication (password is sent in clear text)
Default domain: ourdomain.com

I created a Virtual directory below the website called "test"
servername\Adminsitrators -> FC
System -> FC
A-User-Group -> Modify

Directory Security:
[v] Basic authentication (password is sent in clear text)
Default domain: ourdomain.com


My problem:
I open the Internet Explorer, click on "Open" and, type in
http://webdavetest/test and select "open as web folder".
I got one authentication window (the one which comes automatically when you
don't have permissions to a resource), I click on Cancel, another
authentication window comes (telling me that my password will be transferred
in cleartext), I type in my credencials and I'm in the folder.

How can I avoid this "first authentication window" which I close with
"Cancel"?

Perhaps you know a tutorial for publishing sites using NTFS permissions for
dummie like me?

Many thanks in advance


Juan

Add IIS_WPG to all content and folders that you wish to serve through
WebDAV.

Re: Webdav + Permissions IIS W2K3

Hello David,


still the same. The first authentication window (which I want to disappear)
asks:

Connect to webdavtetst
Connecting to webdavtest
User name:
Password:

I click on "Cancel". Then the correct window comes:

Connect ot webdavtest

The server webdavtest at webdavtest requires a userename and password.
Warning: This server ist requesting ....

I add my credencials and I can access the folder.

Thanks in advance
