Hi,

I am attempting to get WebDav working on my hosted website. 

After having the hosting company make the IIS changes as per the documentation, I added the lines to web.config as per the documentation.  Here ate the complete httpModules and httpHandlers sections:

After making these changes, and clicking the login link to sign-in to my site, I am prompted for a username/password as shown in this link:

My hosting company said it was because of the additions to web.config.  When I commented out the lines below I was able to signin to my site normally

Is this expected behaviour when the web.config changes as per the documentation have been made (i.e. to have the non-DNN sign-in dialog appear?  Which incidentally does not accept DNN users...

Thanks in advance for your assistance.  I plan to demo this module to a client early next week which may very well result in several licence purchases - so your assistance is very much appreciated.

Thanks, Al

PS Removed web.config stuff by me (Peter) because of mangled XML that does not come through the editor.

Hi Al,

The signin appears because some piece of software requires authentication. Normally DNN handles authentication. For Webdav we need to sidestep DNN so DMX webdav does the authentication.

The changes to the web.config and IIS are necessary to make sure that a webdav request is handled by DMX webdav. In your case this is not complete. It appears there is another authentication mechanism still switched on (like Windows authentication). You can usually find out what is trying to authenticate by using a tool like Fiddler to examine the web traffic. To be clear about this: the login should NOT appear when you're browsing to your site.

What you might try is to remove the wildcard in the IIS application configuration settings. This does mean that Vista clients will not be able to use WebDAV. But XP should work fine.
