WEBDAV authentication for Office docunments on SSL enabled sites

As explained in my post related to the Webdav authentication issue using IE for Office documents on Windows 7, I found that the fix will not work for SSL enabled sites. To support HTTPS you will have to add the following lines in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf file.



<VirtualHost>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(OPTIONS|PROPFIND)$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^.*$ – [F,L]

</VirtualHost>



Restart httpd
