Ok,

First, as you can read, I made a mistake in my last post: I invert "CIFS case" and "WEBDAV case" (sorry ;-))

Secondly, I have some explanations about about "CIFS case":

Editing with IE: The file is opened in a word viewer (in IE), so it is not modofiable. At least, not with all functionnalities.

This behaviour is the consequence of the Windows option "Browse in the same window" that you can unset in Windows explorer (tools/options/folder options/file type/avanced) but you have to do it for each Office Document type (a little bit boring!!)

- Editing with Firefox: Two windows are displayed Sad The first is expected (download file window of firefox) but the second is not (download file window of IE ?????). The first one open the file in Word with a good file location (\\PC_A\alfresco…) and the second one works like "editing with IE".

In fact, I installed Firefox extension before playing my tests. I noted that the disfunction is contextual of it.

Obviously, there is a mistake with this extension. It doesn't differentiate contents and spaces. In my opignon, it shouldn't manage CIFS for contents but only for spaces.

I don't have more informations for Webdav problems.

Thanks,

Thierry.

Hello,

In your 'web.xml' file have you changed the following section?


   <filter>
      <filter-name>WebDAV Authentication Filter</filter-name>
      <filter-class>org.alfresco.repo.webdav.auth.AuthenticationFilter</filter-class>
      
      <!– For NTLM authentication support use the following filter –>
      <!– (Enterprise version only)                                –>
      <!–
        <filter-class>org.alfresco.repo.webdav.auth.NTLMAuthenticationFilter</filter-class>
      –>
   </filter>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

You will want to comment out the normal AuthenticationFilter and comment in the NTLMAuthenticationFilter.

Hope this helps,

Steve
