Fw: WebDAV with Authentication through Zebedee

Brent,

When entering user name and password, try adding the domain name with the user name:  domain/user or domain\user, can't remember - this might help.  Also map the http server and client on the same port, don't redirect 8080 to http (80) on the server, webdav does crazy things then (like showing subfolders that don't exist...) - if you can't listen to port 80 on the client, try binding the zebedee client to 127.0.0.2 instead of localhost!

I've got it running with clear text authentication, no problemo!

  Subject: [Zebedee-talk] WebDAV with Authentication through Zebedee


  Hello, 

   

  I apologize if this question has been answered before.  I browsed through the archives but I'm pretty sure the search isn't working so it's quite possible I missed something while browsing. 

   

  I've been a long-time user of Zebedee for tunneling XP's Remote Desktop feature.  Recently I've been experimenting with using Zebedee for tunneling a WebDAV connection.  My high level understanding is that WebDAV is essentially an extension to HTTP.  On the server side Microsoft's IIS supports WebDAV and it's built into XP on the client side.  

   

  I have been able to setup a WebDAV folder in IIS and connect to it through Zebedee from an XP client using the "Anonymous Login" setting in IIS.  However, when I change the folder security to require Basic Authentication I cannot connect.  It continually prompts me for a userid and password even though I'm entering valid credentials.  When I attempted this same scenario with Zebedee out of the picture and a big hole in my firewall, I was able to enter valid credentials and login just fine.  

   

  In summary:

  1)       Zebedee Tunnel - WebDAV Anonymous Login - Works

  2)       No Zebedee - WebDAV Basic Authentication - Works

  3)       Zebedee Tunnel - WebDAV Basic Authentication - Doesn't Work

   

  Because of number 1) I'm fairly sure my basic tunnel setup is fine.  Because of number 2) I'm fairly sure my WebDAV server and client setup is fine.  I'm hoping that maybe I just have something configured wrong in Zebedee when this additional authentication is needed.  

   

  My Zebedee configuration is fairly straight-forward:

   

  Server:

  verbosity 1

  server true                     # Yes, it's a server!

  detached true                # Convert to daemon if possible

  serverport 1234

  target myserver

  redirect 54321                # WebDav

  compression zlib:9         # Allow maximum Zlib compression

  keylength 256                # Allow key length up to 256 bits

   

  Client Command Line:

  zebedee -d -T 1234 80:www.mydomain.com:54321

   

  Of course I point the webdav client to http://localhost/sharedfoldername and the web server is setup to listen to port 54321.  Again it works for Anonymous but not for Basic Authentication.

   

  Any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!
