Windows 10: WebDAV redirector makes strange requests in Windows 10

I noticed that when I access a WebDAV resource through the file manager, I get horrible performance, and looking at the Apache logs I see some oddities come through.1 Requests from my authenticated user the server requires Negotiate are interspersed with requests from my machine credentials. ?!?! Why should the system be asking for the same file properties as the user, at the same time?2 Sometimes it capitalizes the first part of the WebDAV path in the request. The Apache server, of course, responds that the method is not allowed because the uppercase path is not the same as the lowerc

What is "Jackrabbit Webdav Server"? Why is it wanting my password?

• What is Jackrabbit?

Sounds scary to me, do you use Java?

• What's with the unsecure connection?

As you put it "my destination", is not secure. What I've seen is, this crops up when somehow a microsoft office 07, 10, and 13 application tries to use an unsecure connection.

• How do I stop this?

There may be a way but you will need to work in the registry, first go over this KB article: https://Office application opens blank from Sharepoint,WebDAV or site when it is HTTP | support.microsoft.com/en-us/help

The area you want to concentrate on is: Step 1: Configure WebDAV Redirector on the client. Skip the Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 part and go to the Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 To enable Basic authentication on the client computer, and study the steps. You may be adding a key. BasicAuthLevel [some systems already have the key but it's set to 0 ]. Before you start create a restore point: System Restore Point - Create in Windows 10 Then complete the steps from the beginning of the Vista, 7, 8 section.

• Here's a heads up:

1.) I've seen that the BasicAuthLevel can exist in your registry but it's set to ( 0 ) which causes the problem you're experiencing. Then all you have to do is change the value by right clicking on it and left click on Modify then enter a 1 or 2 in the value data box.

2.) It says to use a value of 2 for the BasicAuthLevel value but this is for secure and non secure SSL connections, I haven't found anything as to what is meant by non-secure SSL .

I did take a look at my registry and found it's set to (1) 1 - Basic authentication enabled for SSL connections only: One (1) is what I'd go with.

 

WebDAV error after upgrading to Windows 10

One of my users have upgraded to windows 10 and since then has not able to copy files to our webdav server.

Below is the error we get every time we copy/drag from a file from windows folder to webdav folder.

The following has been tried, has worked in previous windows versions but not working on windows 10:

• 
  Changing the below registry settings
  
  • Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
  • In this key, change the value of BasicAuthLevel to 2
• 
  I have tried both of the below
  
  • Map network drive
  • Add network location
• 
  Tried using webdav client Cyberduck but it does not work on windows 10
  

Is there any other change of setting or an alternate recommended client that I can try?

 

Error while uploading a PDF on sharepoint 2013 through webdav on windows 10

Hi Isabelle,

It seems that the issue is with Webdav being incompatible with Windows 10. We suggest that you contact Webdav directly and ask for assistance as they have the information and tools for these kind of concern.

Regards.
