WebDAV “Add Network Location” Not Valid in Windows 10

Apache2webdavwindows 10

I have created a WebDAV share over https (self-signed) on an Ubuntu server using Apache2.

When I try to add it as a network location (on Windows 10) it fails saying the folder is not valid.

I tried to map it to a drive using net use p: https://example.com/webdav but it fails saying System error 1790 has occurred. The network logon failed.

My Apache config is:

Alias /webdav /var/www/webdav <Directory /var/www/webdav> DAV On AuthType Digest AuthName "webdav" AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/users.password Require valid-user RewriteEngine off Satisfy all Order allow,deny Allow from all ForceType application/octet-stream Options Indexes </Directory>

Cyberduck can connect to the drive using https.

When I switch back to http, it all works. Is there a problem with Windows accepting self-signed certificates?

I had the same problem. It doesn't work on Winsrv 2012/2016/2019 using HTTP protocol, you have to use HTTPS with a valid certificate on the webdav configuration!

i know is too late for you 555, but it could help others!

Centos – WebDAV on CentOS – getting 403 error when attempt to upload

I recently struggled with the same problem on my Fedora 10 system. In my case the culprit was some odd redirection that I was doing in Apache. Specifically, I use a content management system (Drupal, to be exact) that within it's .htaccess includes the following redirection logic to redirect missing files to a PHP script:

# Rewrite URLs of the form 'x' to the form 'index.php?q=x'.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

It makes sense that the above only affects the PUT method since in that case REQUEST_FILENAME does not exist.

Not having the WebDAV area inside of the Drupal area, which seems like a reasonable constraint, fixes the problem.

Also, I think it is likely that SELinux would result in a different error, but it's not mentioned in the discussion above. Did you try disabling SELinux?

Connect via Webdav from Windows 7

I found this which might be the source of your problem:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841215

It talks about Sharepoint, but as I understand it, SharePoint exposes a WebDAV service. The issue is that Vista (and presumably Windows 7) don't support WebDAV using HTTP Basic Authentication.

Try changing to Digest authentication, or use one of the standalone WebDAV clients. If you must access the folder using Windows Explorer, try the regedit hack for Vista (the key is still present in my Win 7 RC installation)
