I'm setting up a webdav file server on a windows 2008 r2 (IIS 7.5). I can use http only, as https is already in use by a specific software running on it proprietary web server that will not 'share' port 443 with iis. The clients will be mostly running on Mac OS (Snow Leopard / Lion). I'd like of course to encrypt at least the username/password, so I choosed Windows Authentication (NTLM) on the webdav server. When connecting, the users can log in, but file transfers never succeed. But using Digest as authentication method is OK. Of course, I'd prefer to use NTLM. Any idea why file transfers will fail using NTLM ? Also, it seems that using passwords with special characters (i.e @) in digest authentication method won't allow users to connect.
Thanks,
Thomas
