I am running SME 7.6 and SharedFolders V1.74 as advised by VIP-ire in topic,
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,49158.0.html in this forum.
I am using webdav and https to access ther shared folders.
Up to now I have been testing with Windows XP prof. SP3 and I have been able to create a network location to my shared folders successfully.
I then attempted to create the same network location on a Windows 7 Home 64-bit workstation using
exactly the same parameters and user as on the XP workstation. This fails with an error stating "
The folder you entered does not appearto be valid. Please choose another".
I checked around on the Internet and found an interesting comment in the folowing site,
http://shon.org/blog/2010/03/04/howto-fix-windows-7-64bit-webdav/Here the author suggests that Widows 7 uses
AuthDigest for authentication rather than
Basic.
I have tried his suggestion to modify a parameter in the Windows 7 registry but that didn't work.
But in any case, as I don't know what OS the remote workstations are using, changing registry parameters on workstations is not a workable solution.
Is there a workaround for the SME server to accept both Basic and AuthDigest authentication?
Has anybody else run into this problem?
Thanks
Alex
