Hi there,
I’m trying to get the above working using Tomcat 8.0, previously working
with 7.0. This is part of a WebDAV connector in Confluence.
It seems I can connect from anything other than a Windows Mini Redirector
client (Windows 7 or 8.1, x86 or x64). Using a web browser or 3rd party
client (CyberDuck for instance) connects OK.
You should do a search in Google for "Windows and DAV".
The various implementations over the years of DAV in MS Windows are a real
horror story.
As far as I know (but it varies according to Windows versions and patches, and even
according to whatever other software is installed on the workstation) :
- recent version of Windows will only accept to connect to DAV folders via HTTPS
- recent and less recent versions of Windows will only accept to connect to a DAV folder,
if that DAV folder is at the "document root" of the webserver
In other words, for all practical purposes, you /have to/ use a third-party
client.
(WebDrive is another one which I know works)
And if you don't, be prepared for a lot of support calls..
What happens when you try to connect with the Windows Mini Redirector? Do
you get a client error? If so, what? Do you get any errors or messages in
the Tomcat logs? If not, you might try running wireshark to investigate
further. Capture packets from a working client and packets from the MS
client then look to see what's different.
That said, the fact that it's working for a large selection of clients
except one, seems to point to a problem with the client and not your Tomcat
setup. What makes you think this is a Tomcat issue? Was there something
specific you had to do in Tomcat 7 to make the MS client work?

There are some registry keys in Windows one needs to enable to get this
working first:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Internet]
"BasicAuthLevel"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters]
"BasicAuthLevel"=dword:00000001
"UseBasicAuth"=dword:00000001
Server.xml
<Connector port="9443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocols="TLS" SSLEnabled="true"
URIEncoding="UTF-8"
keystoreType="PKCS12"
keystoreFile="${catalina.base}/conf/certname.pfx"
keystorePass="keypassword"/>
I’m fairly new to this, but have done a fair bit of reading to get it
working previously in Tomcat7…so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
