Hi all! I am going out on a limb and hoping that this is the proper forum to ask this... After all, the question *has* to do w/ AD in some way ;)
I've set up a WebDav FreeBSD server using mod_dav to allow document sharing and versioning (and to try to set up some way of Calendar Sharing that does not involve Exchange, but that's a story for another post)- The access is to be restricted using Apache Basic Auth (yes, I know it's not that secure, but it's good enough for what we need at the moment). I can connect to the DAV share w/o any problems from a test computer (w2003, w/ the WebFolders client installed) that is NOT a domain member, using both http:// and https://. I get the "Restricted WebDav" prompt that I've set in Apache, and after logging in everything's fine. But from a Windows XP computer (that's a domain member) when I try to access using http, I get a "connect to <FQDN HOSTNAME>" prompt, as if I were trying to connect with a remote SBM share, instead of the "Restricted WebDAV" prompt I was expecting. I enter the usr/pwd but I get the same prompt over and over. The odd thing is, when I use https://, I get the proper "Restricted WebDav" prompt, and I can log-in without problems. I know that I should be using SSL, and once the system goes live that'lll be the default behaviour, but right now I need the ability to sniff the traffic (to be able to see why the RemoteCalendars plugin for Outlook does not like my server, among other things), and in any case I don't like to have "misteries" on my systems. I am pretty sure this is some kind of "doh!" moment waiting to happen, but in any case I wanted to ask for a bit of advice as to what mitght be happening and how to solve it. Thanks a lot Javier Jarava List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir@mail.activedir.org/
