Q: How to setup WebDAV file sharing in OS X Server
Hi,
really struggling to get this working. Running
El Capitan 10.11.5
OS X Server 5.1.1
Trying to connect from windows 7 client via this URL
http://mac-server-hostname/webdav/ipads
I get "server uses an invalid security certificate."
I add an exception and get redirected to https://...
type in username ipads and the password
Then I get "webpage cannot be found" and I can see 404 error in apache logs so it is authenticating.
I'm just using local accounts (not got open directory running) on the mac
All I've done in OS X server is turn on Caching, File Sharing and Websites
I've got a user account ipads
I've also added a shared folder called ipads at
/Users/Shared/ipads
which is read write Everyone with WebDav access ticked in the server:
ls -l /Users/Shared
drwxrwxrwx@ 3 Admin wheel 102 12 Jul 14:01 ipads
ls -l /Users/Shared/ipads/
-rw-r--r--@ 1 Admin wheel 10 12 Jul 14:01 test.txt
Not sure how to troubleshoot this further?
Could I simplify things e.g. just use http not https ? Or change digest authentication to basic / turn off.
This is not out on the internet. We are on private LAN, mainly windows 7 PCs joined to a microsoft
active directory domain, one mac mini and lots of ipads.
My aim is to allow ipads to upload e.g. via WebDAV Nav app to our mac mini.
Thanks
iPad Mini, iOS 9.3.2
