Hello All, I have a Apache 2.x server that uses Siteminder for authentication. The authentication works fine for almost all web resources, except for WebDAV access. I have couple of directories that I need to make WebDAV accessible. If these directories are protected by siteminder, my WebDAV client fails to connect. I think this is happening because siteminder uses cookies to manage authorization/authentication, and the WebDAV client does not understand cookies. Has anyone been able to enable WebDAV for Siteminder controlled resources? Any ideas? Here is the log from my webdav client (WebDrive 6.1 (http://www.webdrive.com)) 03/01/05 10:54:44 694 [W:] NT Platform 03/01/05 10:54:44 694 [W:] Version 6.05 (build 1014) 03/01/05 10:54:44 694 [W:] Connecting to http://webdavserver.mydomain.tld/ ... 03/01/05 10:54:44 694 [W:] OPTIONS / HTTP/1.1 03/01/05 10:54:45 694 [W:] Host: webdavserver.mydomain.tld 03/01/05 10:54:45 694 [W:] User-Agent: WebDrive/6.05 NT DAV 03/01/05 10:54:45 694 [W:] Translate: f 03/01/05 10:54:45 694 [W:] Connection: close 03/01/05 10:54:45 694 [W:] HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required 03/01/05 10:54:45 694 [W:] Date: Tue, 01 Mar 2005 18:56:32 GMT 03/01/05 10:54:45 694 [W:] Server: Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) 03/01/05 10:54:45 694 [W:] WWW-authenticate: basic realm="/ [10:56:32:1557]" 03/01/05 10:54:45 694 [W:] Set-Cookie: SMCHALLENGE=YES;
