SecureBlackbox 16: Windows Explorer can't connect to the WebDAV server sample. Why?
The sample uses Basic HTTP authentication that is not supported on Windows 7 (and possibly other versions) by default. To enable it, follow the steps below:
- Open the registry editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters.
- Create or set the "BasicAuthLevel" parameter of the DWORD type with a value equal to "2".
- Restart the computer.
