WebDAV

About our WebDAV implementation

Supported document types: Word, Excel, Powerpoint.

Sometimes the action of saving a file, that was opened using WebDAV will fail, but only the first time, if it happens at all.

To fix this, you just have to save the document again, and the issue will be gone for you, until you re-signin.

How to enable

Toggle the policy webdavSupport and webdavSessionTokens to true.

WebDAV enabled on a files-field

You can control how long the auth-tokens are valid for, using policy webdavSessionLifetime.

You can control whether a token should automatically be re-validated if it times out using policy webdavSessionTokensRevalidate.

Enabling basic auth to your server

Windows has stopped officially supporting Basic-auth, which is the backup authentication for our implementation.

To allow Office to connect to your server, and authenticate using Basic-auth, execute the following command, as admin, from the commandline.

REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v basichostallowlist /d "HOSTNAME"

Where HOSTNAME is the domain of your server, eg. wiki.tsnocode.com.
