Hi Lars,

1. There are no any special requirements. Just use your system administrator's credentials for impersonation (instead of using the backend credentials).

2. Are these solutions hosted by yourself ? Recently we discovered an issue with saving WebDAV/Host headers settings: UAC (User Account Control) prevents some code from being executed. We are working on solving this issue.

Hi Pavel,

Thanks! No, they are hosted på Hostnordic, but they are custom solutions on dedicated servers. Your support told us to match the web.config with a std web.config to explore the unknown;-)

Does webdav in DW work? On all servers?
Where can I find the documentation on how to use webdav in DW?
Maybe you could make a step-by-step guide on how to set this up?

Hi Lars and Morten,

The only thing that you need to configure is the relative virtual path to your WebDAV "endpoint". Go to Management Center -> Web and HTTP -> WebDAV and set the virtual path (e.g. "mywebdav"). Remember to impersonate first if you're hosting your solution by yourself (no need to do it if you're hosted by Hostnordic).

Once you've set the virtual path, go to "My computer -> Map network drive". For above case the target  folder will be [domain]/mywebdav (e.g. http://engage.dynamicweb-cms.com/mywebdav). If everything was configured properly you should get a login prompt before the new network drive will be mapped. Note that only users of type "Administrators" can use WebDAV (this behavior is by design and cannot be changed).

Btw, there are some problems with using the WebDAV on solutions hosted within the HNEXT.LAN network. The fix for this problem is now being verified by our QA engineers.
