How to allow webdav connections without https / SSL in Windows 7
Wednesday, November 18, 2009 posted by Till
By default it is not possible to connect to webdav resources without SSL encryption in Windows 7. To enable unencrypted connections (http and not just https), follow these steps:
Press the keys [Windows] + [R] to open the windows command line and enter
regedit
to start the registry editor. Then go to the registry branch:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
and change the value for “BasicAuthLevel” to “2” (decimal). Then restart Windows.
