This is an older question but I'll answer anyway since there is no response yet.

There is no backdoor / work-around way to login for WebDAV like there is for Alfresco Share, if you try to access WebDAV like a Windows shared drive. The Windows Explorer is not capable of handling any sort of redirect to a login page as far as I am aware.
