WebDav access

[SeanZhu]

Hi. My Vault version is 5.0.4, it is installed it on my local windows 7 professional machine.
I read a lot of posts about WebDav access, and I installed WebDav on IIS7.5 on my local machine. I can use
"net use * http://local" to successfully acess everything through WebDav.
When I tried "http://local/sgdav/wd.ashx/local/Initia ... anityCheck" on my IE 8.0 browser according to your help file, it prompts me 3 times for user name and password, after I typed in, it always give me "HTTP Error 401.0 - Unauthorized. You do not have permission to view this directory or page."

What should I do next?

Thanks,

Sean

Another question is, if we want to use Vault to access repository and check-in / check-out through Internet (I assume that it would be a feature that has something to do with WebDAV.) do we use Internet Browser or Vault Client to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Will you be using DreamWeaver with Vault? If so, which version?

The web client doesn't have the ability to allow code to be altered. You need to use the Vault GUI client, or Vault integrated with another product.

Beth: Thank you for your reply!

I do not use DreamWeaver. I use Vault integrated into VS2010. For Vault GUI client, does it support Internet access to a repository on a remote server?

Thanks,

You can access a Vault server remotely using either the Vault GUI client, or Vault integrated with some other software such as VS, or through the web client. Check-in/Check-out operations can only be performed in the first two options.

Unless you are using Dreamweaver, you won't have any need for WebDav with our software.

About using Internet in Vault GUI client:
I will type "http://localserver " or "http://remoteserver.domain.com" instead of "localserver" in Vault Server text box in "Connnect To Server" dialog, is that how it works?

Thanks,

The web client takes http://yourserver/vaultservice/vaultweb. The client only takes yourserver or yourserver.yourdomain.yourextension. You don't enter http:// with it or anything else.

For example, let's say my Vault server is named MB23, and my domain is sourcegear.com. To reach the web client, I would put the address http://MB23.sourcegear.com/vaultservice/vaultweb into a browser such as Internet Explorer to reach it. My Vault GUI client would use either MB23 or MB23.sourcegear.com.

I got it.
