Description

Alex,

I hope this helps. Someone showed me that our Document Library may not be working in Windows 7 because we are using Basic Authentication, and Windows 7 only supports Digest Authentication. He then pulled up an Apache somethin-or-nother, showed the Windows 7 failure with Basic authentication, and then changed to Digest authentication and showed me it working. I think he said that this was how Sharepoint 2010 was now working.

Again, I hope this helps,
Jonathan

Hey Jonathan,

Thanks for the heads up. I did a little research and this evidentally is a problem for both Vista and Windows 7 users. But, there is a workaround by changing some registry values:

In either case, this is definitely something we should implement. Thanks for pointing it out.

The Document Library requires webdav, so will Liferay 6 support Windows Vista / Windows 7? Or will this be a future patch? If the initial GA will not have it, can we include a note in the help / setup section?

There are a lot of tickets that we are working on to get into GA and, as of right now, I am not sure this will make the cut. In the mean time, the wiki (which is linked to from the help section) includes an item about this problem.
