Post Reply? Hi, It seems that XP and Vista disallow Basic Authentication for WebDAV / Web Folders by default. Although it is possible to override this setting by editing the registry, is there any reason why DH is using the relatively insecure Basic Authentication as opposed to more secure methods? It seems that MS recommends Kerberos or NTLM. Cheers
