We are looking to use a webdav server to publish some internal file shares and would like to use the established security on these shares for publishing. The environment is Win 2012/iis8
I've read and tried to follow directions for IIS7 and 7.5 but get 500 errors and web config errors.
I think it has to do with the authentication or authoring rules, as I can set a domain admin for the credentials or the user if I am testing with a user folder and it will go through – but that's not what we are looking to do. That seems to leave it wide open.
I am not an IIS guy and my searches for info on IIS8 are not giving me the results I need. Any direction that may help is greatly appreciated.

FYI: Publishing on WebDAV IIS-7.5 is slow if you are using an external storage(CIFS). And a limit to a large file size is 2GB.
